Our Research Our Story

Here at Prostate Cancer Research we are determined to provide a better future for men and their families. We fund world-class scientists and their pioneering research into prostate cancer, working towards new breakthrough treatments.

We support a science forward approach to tackling prostate cancer, but a patient focus is in our DNA. We involve patients in every step of the way to make sure we are funding research that is important to you.

Racial Disparity Grant Call

1 in 4 Black men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, compared to 1 in 8 White men and less again (1 in 13) in men of other ethnicities. Our analysis has revealed that not enough is being done to address this, so this year’s funding opportunity will focus on the racial disparity in prostate cancer.
