The Government of Alberta is launching a new grant program aimed at bolstering cancer research in the province.
The Cancer Research for Screening and Prevention (CRSP) grant program will give three-year grants of up to $1 million to fund research, education and initiatives that promote cancer prevention, early detection and screening, and improve quality of life.
Eligible applicants include Alberta-based post-secondaries, non-profits, plus Métis and First Nation communities and organizations.
“Cancer is something that will touch all Albertans in some way during their lifetime. Expanding eligible applicants for this funding will encourage partnerships to improve cancer outcomes for all Albertans,” says Health Minister Jason Copping. “Community partnerships can greatly assist in developing local, culturally safe and socially appropriate solutions for rural, underserved, Indigenous and vulnerable populations. To win the fight against cancer and its devastating impacts, we need collaboration, innovation and excellence from all Albertans.”
