Sponsor/Award: CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY - INNOVATION GRANTS - 2019 FALL COMPETITION

Grant Amount: MAX $200K OVER 3 YEARS
Deadline: Dean's: Contact your Faculty Research Office for deadline details.
Internal: Oct 08, 2019
Sponsor's: Oct 15, 2019

Subject Areas: Cancer
Description:

The goal of this grant program is to support unconventional concepts, approaches or methodologies to address problems in cancer research. Innovation projects will include elements of creativity, curiosity, investigation, exploration and opportunity. Successful projects may involve higher risk ideas, but will have the potential for "high reward", i.e. to significantly impact our understanding of cancer and generate new possibilities to combat the disease by introducing novel ideas into use or practice.

Successfully funded Innovation projects are ideally based on ?high risk? ideas that have a strong potential for ?high reward?. They are feasible and doable by the applicant(s), but not necessarily based on a significant amount of preliminary data. With a significant emphasis on innovation, this program encourages bold attempts to test novel hypotheses and/or generate new knowledge and/or improvements related to cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment, and support. Applications are encouraged from across all areas and disciplines of cancer research, as well as from investigators in other disciplines whose ideas are relevant to the field of cancer research.
