Canada, research funding organizations invest over $41M into cancer prevention research

The Government of Canada and six research funding organizations are investing over $41M in cancer prevention research. The funding will go to 19 teams completing work on new approaches to cancer prevention, cancer risk reduction, and early cancer detection. These teams include researchers from postsecondary institutions such as McGill University, Queen’s University, Université Laval, the University of British Columbia, the University of Calgary, the University of Manitoba, and the University of Toronto. “Research can save lives and reduce the burden of cancer. Scientists, clinicians, trainees, survivors, families, cancer advocates, and others all have a role to play,” said Federal Minister of Health Marjorie Michel.
