2026 Challenge Grant

This program supports cancer research projects across the cancer continuum and across disciplines, with an ultimate goal of solving a problem (i.e., a ‘challenge’) in cancer that is meaningful to people affected by or at risk of cancer. Applicants need to demonstrate meaningful engagement of people affected by or at risk of cancer throughout the research process (i.e., in the development, implementation, and/or dissemination of research findings) as well as anticipated contributions towards achieving potential future impacts. Applications from the four pillars of health research (i.e., biomedical; clinical; health services; and social, cultural, environmental and population health) are welcome.

Up to $525,000 available over three years.
