Description
The Canadian Cancer Society Research Institute (CCSRI) in partnership with the Canadian Institutes of Health Research- Institute of Cancer Research (CIHR-ICR), will jointly fund this Innovation Grants program, specifically focused on prevention research. Proposed work should incorporate multi-pronged high risk/high reward approaches and stimulate new partnerships between researchers and experts in the cancer prevention field. Applications addressing CIHR-ICR’s Strategic Research Priority area of health disparities or prevention service inequities are specifically encouraged.
The purpose of this funding initiative is to support unique, creative research ideas and applications of new knowledge with imminent application potential relevant to cancer prevention in human populations. Proposed projects must demonstrate a specific and defined potential for impact on cancer incidence, for example through prevention/risk reduction research, programs, and practice, including interventions, knowledge translation, best practices and health-related decision making at the individual, organizational and health system levels. Applications are invited for social/psychosocial and behavioural science, health policy, population health, health promotion and health services research aimed at cancer prevention. Applicants are required to submit proposals for studies that explicitly address the Society’s mission to reduce the incidence of cancer. For this competition, applications for research outside of cancer prevention are not eligible.
Eligibility
An applicant (PI) must hold a firm academic position (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.
Graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, research associates, Adjunct Professors or Status only appointments (except where they hold a firm academic position at another Canadian institution), technical support staff, or investigators based outside of Canada are not eligible to be a Principal Investigator
Funding Availability
up to $100,000 per year and a maximum of $200,000 per grant
Project Duration
Grant expenditures may be extended over three years if justified in the application. Grants will be non-renewable.
