The Gilead UK & Ireland Oncology Fellowship and Medical Grants Programme accepts applications for any project that supports innovation and best practice sharing with the aim to improve care and reduce inequalities in accessing healthcare in the field of oncology. Priority will be given to projects focussing on breast cancer.

Funding can be used to support a variety of projects including, but not limited to:

  • Audits or registry reviews assessing patient profiles, disease outcomes and treatment patterns (but not efficacy of specific treatments)
  • Setting up new infrastructure for better diagnosis or detection of disease, or prediction or monitoring of safety and efficacy outcomes to treatment including increased disease awareness in primary care and amongst members of the public
  • Establishing novel patient support programmes or tools
  • New protocols to facilitate improved efficiency in patient care pathways
  • Frameworks to improve monitoring of patient-reported outcome measures or quality of life instruments or educational tools for patients and carers

Applicants with a project that falls outside of this scope but will add clinical value or will investigate an area of unmet need in the field of oncology may still apply. All applications will be appraised based on their individual merit and focus on driving positive change in patient care.

The application window will close on 31st July 2026. More details about the Programme in oncology can be found in the attached flyer.

Application support

Details on the application process and project eligibility are available on the Gilead UK and Ireland website.

Gilead is holding an Oncology Webinar on the 12 June, which will include presentations from previous awardees on their projects, implementation approaches, and their impact on oncology patient care, along with an overview of the Oncology GFP and a live Q&A round. You can sign up here.

Applicants are advised to review all information on the Apply Now page before starting an application, including the eligibility criteria, FAQs and user guidance. Applicants should also ensure that the correct tags are used on the application portal so that applications are directed to the appropriate team.
