The National Awareness and Early Diagnosis Initiative (NAEDI) - Research call and BJC supplement

Dear All

The National Awareness and Early Diagnosis Initiative (NAEDI), a third sector/public sector partnership arising from the Cancer Reform Strategy, aims to achieve improved outcomes for people with cancer through earlier diagnosis. NAEDI co-ordinates and provides support for activities and research to promote earlier diagnosis of cancer.

We're pleased to inform you that the NAEDI research call has been announced, and that the special NAEDI supplement to the British Journal of Cancer has been published.
