The Rouse lab featured recently in a video to help the local charity Worldwide Cancer Research, with the idea of explaining to potential donors how scientific research works and to outline what it is that scientists actually do on a day-to-day basis.
Worldwide Cancer Research (formerly known as the Association for International Research – AICR) is based in St. Andrews. As well as providing a limited number of fellowships for new group leaders, the charity provides project grants – small grants which typically fund a student or postdoc for 2-3 years – to groups all over Europe. These days WCR can only fund around 7% of the project grant applications it receives because of a major increase over the past few years in the number of applications. To allow many more grants to be funded, a major fundraising effort has been launched. The promotional video featuring the Rouse lab, which can be found at the link below, will be used as part of that effort. The idea for the film happened when three research scientists from Dundee in receipt of WCR funding (John Rouse, Paul Clarke and Gareth Inman) hosted an open day for the entire staff of WCR and the Board of Trustees, to talk about future directions in cancer research.
