Research into the most common form of cancer in men is to receive a £500,000 funding boost.
The Scottish Government has teamed up with Prostate Cancer UK, a charity which has financial backing from the Movember Foundation, to provide a six-figure sum.
A match-funding agreement between the Government's Chief Scientist Office and the charity raised £450,000, and Prostate Cancer UK put in an additional £50,000.
