Description
*Note update to eligibility criteria regarding pursuit of ‘logical next steps’ from an Innovation or CBCF grant.
Note: Only investigators with a funded Innovation Grant (including Prevention Innovation Grants)/CBCF Grant with a project end date between January 1, 2017 and April 30, 2020 are eligible for this program.
This program is designed to support the next phase following a productive Innovation or CBCF research grant, with the goal of working towards or achieving a significant impact on cancer.
The Innovation to Impact (i2I) Grants are designed as the next stage in the funding pipeline for Innovation and CBCF Grants that have completed their original aims and have demonstrated productivity (such as publications or scientific presentations). Note that unexpected findings/outcomes from an Innovation or CBCF grant may be pursued through an i2I grant provided that sufficient data exists to support a compelling rationale for the proposed next steps.
A special call for breast cancer research is included in this competition.
Eligibility
An applicant must hold a firm academic position at a Canadian University (as a primary appointment) which allows the individual to engage in independent research activities for the duration of the project and includes the ability to supervise trainees and publish research results.
Funding Availability
It is expected that up to 15 grants will be awarded in this competition.
Maximum Project Value
Grant budgets may be up to $150,000 per year.
