Globally, cancer is the primary source of disease burden, accounting for almost 19.3 million cases and 10 million deaths in 2020. In order to improve outcomes and comprehend the factors that contribute to cancer as well as the impact of therapies, research is essential. Our objective was to examine worldwide trends in public and charitable funding for cancer research. For the purpose of this content analysis, we looked up funding grants for human cancer research from public and private funders between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2020, using the Uber research dimensions database and cancer research UK data. Project and program grants, fellowships, pump priming, and pilot projects were among the award categories that were covered. Awards pertaining to the operational provision of cancer care were not included. The study period, cross-cutting research theme, and kind of cancer were used to categorize award.
