Interventions to Prevent Cancer Grant Competition

"The Canadian Cancer Society Research Institute (CCSRI) is pleased to reissue a research funding opportunity focusing on Interventions to Prevent Cancer.

In 2010, four research projects were awarded funding through the first issue of this Request for Applications.

The purpose of the Canadian Cancer Society Prevention Initiative – Interventions to Prevent Cancer grants competition is to broaden the scope of currently-funded investigations on interventions to prevent cancer, including the translation of that research knowledge into evidence-based practices and policies.

Applications are invited for social science, health policy, population health, health promotion and health services research aimed at identifying effective interventions that address behaviours or exposures that affect cancer risk and are likely to have an evaluable cancer prevention impact. Interventions to prevent cancer are defined as research to modify determinants of, and/or changes to, behaviours or exposures that affect cancer risk."--from website.
