Answer
The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) receives funding from a range of public and charitable sources. This includes significant funding from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and from charities like the Wellcome Trust, Cancer Research UK and Breast Cancer Now. As part of this Government provides the ICR nearly £9 million in Charity Research Support funding (CRSF) as part of its Quality Related research funding. This is awarded in recognition of ICRs charitable research income in line with the treatment of other universities in receipt of charity research grants. CRSF may be used to improve the sustainability of charity research.
