The Cancer Research Society (CRS) is proud to announce the 51 new recipients of its Doctoral Research Awards. These students will pursue projects aimed at advancing our understanding of cancer and improving its prevention, detection, and treatment.

Since its launch in 2023, the program has supported a total of 162 students in their scientific training. This new cohort reflects the diversity of cancer research taking place across the country and the many questions that remain to be explored to better outsmart this disease.

Through a $70,000 award over two years, each student receives the support needed to deepen their research, develop specialized expertise, and contribute to new breakthroughs in the fight against cancer. 

Thank you to our partners and donors 

CRS would like to thank its partners, the Institute of Cancer Research of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Brain Canada Foundation, Ovarian Cancer Canada, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada and RBC Royal Bank, as well as its donors, whose support makes these scholarships possible. 

The research conducted by these emerging researchers will help pave the way for new solutions for people affected by cancer.
