Description
Over many decades Canada has invested in the collection of cancer data through registries, medical records and research studies. Despite continued investments and new initiatives, there have been growing concerns about the ability to link datasets and the comprehensiveness of linked datasets, challenges regarding timely access to data for reporting and further research, and the quality and completeness of the data being collected.
The Canadian Cancer Society is pleased to launch the 2024 Data Transformation Grants. The intent of this program is to engage and bring together the data community and support pilot projects or implementation of successful pilot initiatives, that have the potential to solve issues in cancer data. We are seeking proposals for projects that employ novel approaches to enhance the collection, integration and use of cancer data in Canada.
CCS will coordinate an informational webinar with potential applicants to provide information on the competition and explore collaborations across jurisdictions and interested teams Mid-January 2024.
The abstract deadline is Wednesday, February 21, 2024 at 5pm ET.
