<p>The Department invests in health research through the National Institute for Health
and Care Research (NIHR). NIHR invests in research, clinical expertise, specialist
facilities, workforce and support services across a range of clinical areas. NIHR
expenditure on cancer research was £101.2 million in 2021/22.</p><p>The Government
is committed to funding high-quality brain cancer research. The May 2018 Government
announcement of £40 million for brain tumour research as part of the Tessa Jowell
Brain Cancer Mission remains available and if we can spend more on the best quality
science we will do.</p><p>We welcome more high-quality applications for brain tumour
research funding. Applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition.
The NIHR continues to follow its normal high-quality processes in making funding recommendations
to the Department. It is worth noting that all applications that were fundable in
open competition have been funded.</p>
