Today we are publishing evidence from our Institutes to show the impact of changes to the UK immigration system on cancer research.
We call on the new UK Government to reduce costs and review the system so it works for research - to meet their ambitions for health and growth.

I'm told this was the "full and final amount". She now faces calls to resign

Whew, a whole picture of me😅.
Delighted to share that @wellcometrust is opening a £20m funding scheme, the #AcceleratorAwards, for researchers of Black, Bangladeshi or Pakistani heritage in the UK.
Short thread of the critical details 🧵
Minoritised communities are underrepresented in UK research – particularly those of Black, Bangladeshi or Pakistani heritage.
We're launching £20mn in new funding to help address this ⤵️ [1/3]

Global talent is vital for cancer research, but Govt is increasing immigration costs and salary thresholds. We’re already struggling to get the researchers we need, and this risks making things worse. Read what we think in our blog: bit.ly/426BX7c
