Objective
  • To conduct research that is relevant to patients, families, and survivors throughout Ontario, and expands research capacity in quality improvement in the province.
  • To support investigator-initiated projects that have the potential to generate data to inform larger studies.

Two categories of projects will be considered separately:

  1. Bridging funds for projects aligned to the Childhood Cancer Care Plan for which preliminary work (preferably with pilot data) has been completed
  2. New projects aligned with the Childhood Cancer Care Plan, which have not yet been initiated. 

Eligibility
  • Primary consideration will be given to Ontario citizens and landed immigrants within the province.
  • Projects must be conducted at a hospital, research institute or university in Ontario, although applicants do not have to be permanent residents of Ontario.
  • The Primary Investigator should be on staff at an Ontario university, teaching hospital, or equivalent institution and be able to hold research funds, or affiliated with an Indigenous non-governmental organization in Canada with a research and/or knowledge translation mandate or an Indigenous nongovernmental organization in Canada with a research and/or knowledge translation mandate.
