The association for medical research charities lists most of the charities providing funding for research and provides links to their websites in the members section, as well as a guide for applying for charity research grants.
For those looking futher afield, research funding in Europe can be found from the European Council's 7th Research Framework Programme, ECNIS (Environmental Cancer Risk, Nutrition and Individual Susceptibility), as well as the European Science Foundation which has a section on funding opportunities across europe.
