Operating Grant

CRS Operating Grants are intended to support Canadian researchers in their pursuit to advance scientific knowledge in the following five (5) areas:

1) Fundamental/basic cancer research;

2) Prevention: Research to advance our understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying cancer risk and development, with the aim of identifying new targets and approaches for cancer prevention and risk reduction.

3) Early translational cancer research, including preclinical research, cellular or animal models, biomarkers for diagnostics and prognosis, imaging and treatment;

4) Research studying the environmental causes of cancer including viruses,

pollutants, work environment, lifestyle and diet;

5) In collaboration with CIHR, ‘Cancer Survivorship Research’. Research to advance our understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying the risks and development of toxicities and complications that arise after completion of cancer treatment, with the aim of identifying more effective strategies to prevent or mitigate these adverse effects.
