Description
The goal of the CCS/CIHR Cancer Survivorship Team Grant program is to improve the health outcomes for cancer survivors of all ages (pediatric, adolescent, young adult and adult) from the time of their cancer diagnosis until the time of their death or entry into palliative care. This program is not intended to focus on improving end-of-life care.
The intent of this funding opportunity is to support new intervention research designed to mitigate the challenges experienced along the survivorship journey, as well as the evaluation and validation of existing interventions to assess their potential for implementation as best practices.
The program goal will be achieved through the support of a network of multidisciplinary teams:
- 1) The Nominated Principal Applicant (NPA) must be appointed at an eligible institution
- 2) In addition to the NPA, the team must include at least two (2) other members identified as either Principal Applicants (PA) or Co-Applicants (Co-App), one of whom must be an Early Career Researcher (ECR). (Updated: 2019-05-03).
- 3) The team members, i.e. the NPA, PAs or co-Apps, must be drawn from three (3) different regions of Canada, Atlantic provinces (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island), Central Canada (Ontario and Quebec), Prairie Provinces (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta), West Coast (British Columbia), Territories (Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon). (Updated: 2019-05-03)
Teams may request up to $500,000 per year for a maximum of $2,500,000 over a five-year period. Grants will be non-renewable. As the total budget for this competition is $10 million, it is anticipated that at least 4 teams will be funded in this competition. The engagement of additional partners may increase this number.
