Over the years
The CRS has remained true to its mission of funding cancer research.
Since its inception, the CRS has grown steadily. One year after its founding, the CRS awarded its first four research grants of $600 each. A year later, over $14,000 had been distributed.
In the 1980s, the million-dollar mark in research grants and scholarships was passed. To date, over $388 million has been distributed to support Canada’s most promising researchers.
