1. CCS Emerging Scholar Research Grants

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).

The approximate funding envelope for this opportunity is $9M over 5 years, or 15 grants. Each grant will be valued up to $120,000 per year, tenable for 5 years.

CCS is committed to supporting all areas and disciplines of cancer research and building diverse capacity across Canada (in every province, where possible). Applications from the four pillars of health research (i.e., biomedical; clinical; health services; and social, cultural, environmental and population health) are encouraged.
