Cancer Research UK said the fund would continue to raise money.
Initial funds would go to a range of projects focused on the prevention and treatment of bowel cancer.
One study will look at laying The Foundations for new precision treatment that could stop bowel cancer spread. It will be led by Professor Trevor Graham , director of the Centre for Evolution and Cancer at The Institute of Cancer Research, London.
Another project, involving a team of leading scientists, will look at targeting microbes that might cause bowel cancer.

A further project, led by Dr Oleg Blyuss from Queen Mary University of London, will look at using Artificial Intelligence and blood tests to detect the earliest signs of cancer.
At The Royal Marsden cancer hospital in London, an advanced IR X-ray machine will also offer better imaging resolution that will allow more patients to be treated.
The Projects announced on Wednesday, collectively totalling around £4m, are The First round of funding, with more projects due to be confirmed later this year.
