Development and Use of a Cancer Research Funding Database: Promoting Strategic Global Cancer Research Using the International Cancer Research Partnership Database

摘要

The International Cancer Research Partnership (ICRP) has developed a cancer research funding database since its establishment, with data gathered from the participating funnding organizations. We estimated and compared the total amount of cancer research funding from governmental organizations in the USA, the UK and Japan using ICRP and publicly available databases. We also discussed use of the ICRP database as a tool to consider the cancer research funding allocation at a national level.
