In Canada, lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths, yet it remains one of the most underfunded in terms of research. To address this major issue, the Cancer Research Society is investing $2 million in translational research on this disease.

This program will support 4 research projects aimed at:

• Improving early detection of lung cancer
• Developing more effective treatments
• Understanding the mechanisms of resistance to current therapies

The PCC Fellowship Program supports qualified scientists interested in the field of anti-doping, committed to meaningful research, and demonstrating potential for long-term contribution to the field of anti-doping scien​ce. Fellows selected by the PCC participate in a two-year program. Fellows gain practical knowledge from a U.S.-based, WADA-accredited laboratory and conduct research supporting the anti-doping field.

PCC Research Grants support projects advancing knowledge in the anti-doping sphere. Pre-Applications are reviewed two times per year: February 1st and August 1st. Applicants are encouraged to review the research priorities of the PCC before applying. Applicants that are invited to complete a full application.

The Olympic Studies Centre (OSC) organises an annual research grant programme intended for PhD Students and Early Career Academics engaged in scholarly research on the Olympic Movement, its history and ideals, and the impact of the Olympic Games on the various aspects of contemporary society and culture. 

CPCoE is requesting proposals for Spring 2026 for the funding opportunity "Secondary Data Analysis of Chronic Pain Among Canadian Armed Forces Veterans."  

This funding stream is designed to close that gap by supporting investigators to make productive, rigorous, and creative use of existing data infrastructure. By catalyzing secondary data analysis in this area, the Chronic Pain Centre of Excellence for Canadian Veterans aims to support the development of a body of evidence that is both scientifically rigorous and directly relevant to the health system and policy decisions that shape the lives of Veterans living with pain.
