Prostate Cancer Research Grants

Research priorities
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Canada, affecting one in seven men over their lifetime. Despite its high prevalence, significant challenges remain in the fight against this disease.
To address this critical issue, the Cancer Research Society, in partnership with PROCURE, is proud to launch a competition aimed at supporting cutting-edge translational research in prostate cancer.
Through this partnership, $2 million will be allocated to fund 4 groundbreaking research projects focused on:
- Improving early detection
- Developing more effective treatments
