The Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO) is proud to announce a new funding opportunity designed to nurture curiosity, sharpen research skills, and advance care for children and families affected by childhood cancer.

The POGO Trainee Funding Grant provides up to $5,000 per trainee to support individuals in programs affiliated with childhood cancer as they complete research projects that contribute to the goals of Ontario’s 2024–2029 Childhood Cancer Care Plan.

Recognizing that training periods are often short, applications will be accepted four times per year, with deadlines on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 and one to two grants awarded at each cycle.

This grant is open to trainees conducting research related to the field of childhood cancer in Ontario.

• develop their embedded research roles and programs;
• apply their research skills to help health system organizations tackle high priority challenges, contribute to evidence-informed decision-making, strengthen cultures of learning and improvement, and advance the Quintuple Aim;
• build their collaborations and partnerships within and across the academic and health system communities; and
• advance their leadership and impact as embedded research scholars.
