Description
The Canadian Cancer Society’s Research Training Awards program aims to support growth and innovation in the next generation of diverse cancer researchers across Canada. This program seeks to build inclusive capacity in cancer research, while fostering interdisciplinary learning, knowledge translation, mentorship and patient and community engagement opportunities.
To address structural and systemic barriers to inclusion, and increase diverse representation in our cancer research ecosystem, CCS and its partners welcome applications from all eligible trainees and strongly encourage Black and Indigenous trainees to apply.
Note that some key changes have been made with respect to areas of research focus – please read the funding opportunity carefully to ensure alignment.
