ECMC Cross-Centre Placement Scheme

This scheme provides travel, accommodation, and sustenance costs for individuals supported by our experimental cancer medicine centres (ECMC) network to train or shadow at other ECMC sites. It also covers initial collaboration meetings across the network.

The scheme should not be used for:

• continued project specific collaboration after initial meetings

• collaboration/travel costs for projects that are part of the Translational Research Forum (separate funding is available for this purpose)

• travel and accommodation costs (including those associated with ECMC meetings and conferences)

Eligibility for short term placements (1 day – 3 weeks)

If you are working within and/or supported through our network you can apply. Note that PhD students and patient and public involvement representatives are currently not eligible for this scheme.

If you are not eligible, but would like to explore a cross-centre learning opportunity, please contact ecmcadmin@cancer.org.uk to discuss other ways we can support you.

Complete our form to apply for this scheme. You'll need to include:

• name, contact details, location and role

• a brief description of why you're applying including the need

• details around timing (duration and start date)

• estimated costs

• details of who you'll be working with

You'll also need to get sign off from your line manager or ECMC lead to support the application and include their details.
