## Eligibility & scope

Main funding round for humanities, social science, public health and epidemiological cancer research.

## Summary

This Danish Cancer Society main funding round supports humanities, social science, public health and epidemiological research on cancer. It is aimed at researchers based at Danish institutions working on the human, societal or population-level dimensions of cancer, rather than laboratory or clinical trial work. The call runs annually, giving applicants a predictable yearly window to plan submissions.

## Who should apply

- Researchers based at Danish universities or research institutions
- Humanities and social science scholars studying cancer-related topics
- Public health researchers working on cancer prevention or population health
- Epidemiologists conducting cancer-focused studies

## Key dates

- Deadline: 19 January 2027
- Call recurs annually

## Tips for applicants

- Frame the proposal explicitly around humanities, social science, public health or epidemiological methods rather than biomedical or lab-based approaches, since this round is reserved for those disciplines.
- Because this is the main annual round, check for any parallel Danish Cancer Society calls to ensure the project fits this track rather than a more specialised one.
