: Extract from Cancer Research Campaign's conditions for research grants

• From 1 April 1999, the campaign will not provide future research support—that is, new grant awards to any institution in which those who are or would be supported by campaign funds are working in such proximity to others supported by tobacco industry funding that there is any possibility or likelihood that facilities, equipment, or other resources will be shared. Funding in a quite different faculty or school of the university or institution is not covered by this protocol.
• Tobacco industry funding includes funds from a company or group of companies engaged in the manufacture of tobacco goods; and funds in the name of a tobacco brand whether or not the brand name is used solely for tobacco goods; funds from a body set up by the tobacco industry or by one or more companies engaged in the manufacture of tobacco goods.
• The following do not constitute tobacco industry funding for the purposes of this protocol:

• Funding from subsidiary and associated companies, unless they bear the offending name or it is intended or likely that the parent or associated company with such a name will publicise the funding
• Anonymous donation
• Legacies from tobacco industry investments (unless the names of a tobacco company or cigarette brand are associated with them)
• Funding from a trust or foundation no longer having any connection with the tobacco industry even though it may bear a name that (for historical reasons) has tobacco industry associations
• Donations given to the university for general use by the university entirely at its discretion

• Funding falling within this protocol covers money provided or used for all or any of the costs of the research, including personnel, consumables, equipment, buildings, travel, meetings, and conferences, running costs for laboratories and offices, but not meetings or conferences unrelated to a particular research project.
