Please note: There will be a three-stage application and review process. Applicants will first be required to submit an abstract.

Building on the success and lessons learned from the inaugural Emerging Scholar Awards program, CCS is excited to launch the CCS Emerging Scholar Research Grants program (ESRG-23). By making a significant investment in the advancement of emerging scholars, CCS aims to strengthen the future of the cancer research ecosystem in Canada. This opportunity aims at establishing and advancing promising early career investigators from across Canada with a focused commitment to undertaking cancer research. Through the CCS Emerging Scholar Research Grants, early career investigators will develop their cancer research programs in Canada and pursue important scientific advances of the highest quality and potential for impact in the four pillars of health research (biomedical; clinical; health services; and social, cultural, environmental & population health).
