UK Collaborative for Cancer Clinical Research (UK3CR)

What is the UK Collaborative for Cancer Clinical Research (UK3CR)?

UK3CR is the UK Collaborative for Cancer Clinical Research. We enable the UK’s leading clinical cancer researchers to co-ordinate best practice, initiate collaborations and connect with strategic partners.

Who are the members of the UK3CR?

Our members are multi-disciplinary groups of clinical experts in all cancer types, based throughout the four nations of the UK. Their voices inform the development of new clinical trials and research initiatives across the cancer research landscape, both nationally and internationally. 

Who runs the secretariat for the UK3CR? 

Hosted by the Association of Medical Research Charities and funded by the UK Government’s Office for Life Sciences via the UKRI Medical Research Council, we connect our members with research funders from the charitable and commercial sectors. This means investment in cancer research can be targeted at areas of the highest clinical priority, maximising opportunities for the UK to lead in cancer clinical research and unlocking the country’s vast potential to support medical innovation and growth.

About the UK Collaborative for Cancer Clinical Research (UK3CR)

The UK3R was created to provide central co-ordination for Clinical Research Groups originally created by the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI).

Providing a hub for central co-ordination enables these groups to continue to collaborate – with many now supported administratively by AMRC member charities after the NCRI’s closure.
