Title:
Team Grant: CCS Breakthrough Team Grants - Transforming Low Survival Cancers
Agreement Number:
169105
Agreement Value:
$2,820,000.00
Agreement Date:
Jan 3, 2023 - Jan 2, 2028
Description:
The objectives of this competition are to: 1. Focus national and international (where justified), cancer expertise on these six low survival cancers to drive a paradigm shift in prevention, detection, treatment and care. 2. Broaden the traditional research focus through targeted investment in multidisciplinary teams that bring in expertise, resources and technologies from outside the cancer field to create novel and innovative opportunities for progress. 3. Explore opportunities to adapt/modify successful approaches used in other cancer types to the cancers under study here. 4. Ensure the relevance of the research conducted by engaging clinicians and other healthcare professionals, as well as patients/caregivers with lived experience of the cancers under study, from the outset. The overarching goal is to see a significant reduction in the number of Canadians dying from these lethal cancers by 2031.
