ALT Promotional graphic for Bowel Cancer UK, featuring the text "Early Diagnosis Project Grants - Apply now," accompanied by images of megaphones on a teal background.
ALT Promotional graphic from Bowel Cancer UK featuring a call to action for researchers' help, illustrated with icons depicting research tools like graphs and books, set against a dark teal background.
ALT In the background is a abstract design. In a yellow box it says 'We’re delighted to share our new research strategy, ‘Our roadmap for research’.
ALT Quote from Dr Lisa Wilde, Director of Research, Policy and Influencing at Bowel Cancer UK. The quote says "Developed in consultation with patient representatives, clinicians, and researchers, it sets out how we’ll improve early diagnosis and treatment of the disease through directly funding research, and bringing together patients, researchers and industry to find solutions. This strategy will take us even closer to a future where nobody dies of bowel cancer."
ALT A group of scientists delightedly run around a lab, climbing ladders which lead to glass cylinders down which they happily speed on their backs, then rush back for another go. In the foreground one scientist says to another "I actually meant to order glass slided to go in the microscopes, but everyone seems so happy now, it'd be a shame to send them back."

ALT An infographic titled "Our impact in numbers" details the achievements. t has a teal background and includes four yellow icons with accompanying white text. The first icon, a heart, signifies "17 grants awarded a total of £1.34m." The second, a trophy, represents "11 further funding awards worth £10.72m." The third, a shield with a tick mark, denotes "6 influences on policy and practice." The final icon, hands cradling a sapling, accompanies the statement "For every £1 we spent in research, it led to a further £8.93 being invested."
