Fellowships Panel

Our Fellowships Panel assess the research proposals submitted to the charity for funding, and recommends to our Board of Trustees the most promising early career postdoctoral researchers with the potential to become independent leaders in prostate cancer research (through our Career Acceleration Fellowships).  

The membership of this Panel has been carefully selected to provide a broad range of expertise to cover the breadth of research contained within our research strategy. The involvement of experts who are independent of the Charity is essential to ensure a rigorous and transparent assessment process so that the charity can continue to fund the very best research with the greatest potential to benefit men. 

Our Fellowships Panel is a subset of our Research Advisory Committee (RAC) and therefore must adhere to the same  Conflicts of Interest & Confidentiality Policy as the RAC.
