The Arthur Child Innovation Catalyst Grant competition.
Registration is now closed.
Overview.
In June 2023, the Arthur J.E. Child Foundation made a transformational gift of $50 million to the Alberta Cancer Foundation. For the Arthur J.E Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre to grow as a world leader, it is critically important we seize emerging opportunities to maintain and enhance research and clinical excellence. The Arthur Child Innovation Catalyst Grant Competition will foster innovation in the screening/detection, diagnosis, treatment, supportive care, and/or long-term survivorship of cancer. It will allow research teams explore ideas with the potential to transform cancer care.Competition highlights.
