Description
The purpose of this funding program is to support research projects that seek to advance cancer-related health equity. Projects must be collaborative, co-created by people both affected by cancer and by structural marginalization, and designed to address the systemic, structural, and institutional factors that sustain health disparities in Canada. Applications should take a social determinants of health perspective in identifying and defining both the health equity need and the community of focus, taking care to consider the intersectionalities of such communities.
For this round of the funding opportunity, while there is an open call for all health equity research grant applications, there is a special call for grant applications focused on breast cancer in specific underserved communities, with approximately $6M of the $9M funding envelope for this competition designated to breast cancer.
