Description:

The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) and the Lotte and John Hecht Memorial Foundation have partnered to offer this new program. These grants will support preliminary research to establish proof of principle in novel concepts and approaches with the potential to revolutionize cancer prevention, detection and treatment.

Funding can be applied to generating pilot data for a new and exciting idea, establishing and developing new collaborations where appropriate, testing a new technology/intervention or using an existing technology/intervention in an innovative way. We envisage that data generated and/or collaborations established through a Disruptive Innovation Grant will form the basis for a more extensive future project. Please review the program site for full details.

Application Details: There will be a two stage application process consisting of a Letter of Intent and an invited Full Application.
