Funding Opportunities
The Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network is an exciting program managed by the Terry Fox Research Institute with support from the federal government. The MOHCCN’s mission is to bring together leading cancer centres across Canada to collaborate on precision medicine to benefit cancer patients and drive innovation.
To allocate its resources, the MOHCCN has international experts evaluate the excellence and the potential for impact of all its research projects.
PROGRAMS FOR FUNDING RESEARCH
Special Initiatives
The MOHCCN funds special initiatives to ensure representativity and equity from coast to coast in our Network. By investing in precision medicine initiatives in areas that are generally underserved, such as rural, remote and Northern regions, we are working to bring life changing research to more Canadians. As the Network continues to grow, we are also funding projects that pilot new techniques and technologies that allow us to look at scientific questions from new perspectives.
FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES CURRENTLY OPEN IN THIS PROGRAM:
- TFRI-MOHCCN Technology Development Award
MOHCCN Gold Cohort - Regional Consortium Projects
MOHCCN Gold Cohort - Pan-Canadian Projects
The MOHCCN Pan-Canadian Projects program unites researchers and clinicians from multiple provinces to work on projects that cut across regions to accelerate precision medicine for cancer in Canada. In total, the Network will fund 20 groups through this initiative, representing a multi-million-dollar investment over the next three years that will contribute roughly 6,000 cases to the MOHCCN Gold Cohort, the largest and most complete cancer case resource in Canada.
