Peer Review

Peer Review Process

Every funding application is subject to our rigorous and unbiased Peer Review Process. Once your funding application has been agreed in principle we pass the details to our Peer Review Panel. The members of this panel come from a wide range of areas and will include, but not be limited to, medical and business professionals and patient representatives. We want to ensure we are as transparent as possible in all areas of our funding, be it medical research or grant support to patients.

Even if you are not seeking funding from the charity, we offer a full Peer Review of your proposed research. Use the form below to contact us.

Following a successful Peer Review, the Charity would consider an application for funding. A formal application, stating the amount required, should be sent to:

The office of The Chief Executive
Kidney Cancer UK
The Old Granary
Park Farm
Great Abington
Cambridge
CB21 6AX

All such funding would require confirmation and final approval from Kidney Cancer UK’s board of trustees before any formal offer is made or any funds are release .

Terms and Conditions for Peer Review
