CCS Research Training Awards - Master's Level

The Research Training Awards (RTA) program is designed to support the next generation of cancer researchers across Canada who play a role in driving growth and innovation in research, ultimately improving cancer care. The program focuses on three main goals:

1. Building capacity in the cancer research ecosystem through an equity seeking lens by fostering a more inclusive research environment and increasing diverse representation, particularly by supporting and enhancing Black- and Indigenous-led cancer research.

1. Funding a diverse group of trainees across a range of cancer research areas and fostering long-term connections within the cancer research ecosystem.

1. Encouraging a comprehensive training experience in cancer research through exposure to other disciplines, mentorship, training, knowledge-sharing and engagement initiatives.
