The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) in partnership with the Canadian Institutes of Health Research-Institute of Cancer Research, will jointly fund the Innovation Grants program to support innovative, creative problem solving in cancer research.
The goal of this CCS Research 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.
The purpose of this funding initiative is to support unique, creative research ideas that will impact cancer. Although this grant program is primarily designed to support the biomedical, translational and clinical research communities, applications from all areas and disciplines of cancer research will be considered eligible for funding and will be evaluated based on a common set of criteria.
Funding Information

- Grant budgets may be up to $100,000 per year and a maximum of $200,000 per grant. Grant expenditures may be extended over 3 years if justified in the application.
