Description

The Canadian Cancer Society and its partners are pleased to launch the 2024 Research Training Awards. The purpose of this funding program is to support growth and innovation in the next generation of diverse cancer researchers across Canada at the Master’s, Doctoral and Post-Doctoral levels.

The Research Training Awards seek to build inclusive capacity in cancer research, and will support individuals conducting cancer related research, while fostering long term connections with Canada’s cancer research ecosystem through a combination of exposures to other disciplines, knowledge translation, engagement, and mentorship opportunities.

To address structural and systemic barriers to inclusion, and increase diverse representation in our cancer research ecosystem, we:

  • – support and encourage Black and Indigenous trainees to apply at the PhD and postdoctoral level. Other eligible scholars in training are welcome to apply.
  • – welcome Black and Indigenous students (only) to apply for the 2024 Master’s competition.
Abstract due (non-competitive but mandatory):
January 17, 2024 (5:00 pm ET)
Full application due date:
February 29, 2024 (5:00 pm ET)
Deadline for full application extended until Wednesday, March 20th, 2024.
