Specific Operating Grants

Over the last years, the CRS is proud to offer additional operating grants to the scientific community through its regular competition. These grants on specific types of cancer are added to the regular operating grants that may apply to the broad field of cancer. The funding of these specific grants is made possible thanks to important partnership that the CRS did develop over the last years with invaluable partners.

This year, for its regular operating grant competition 2012, the CRS is offering additional grants in the following specific fields:

• Environment-Cancer:
  Up to four (4) grants in this field could be supported through the CRS’ Environment-Cancer Fund^TM.

• Prostate Cancer:
  This year, thanks to its partnership with PROCURE, the CRS could attribute a first specific grant in the field of prostate cancer.

• Neuroendocrine Tumours:
  Moreover, through a partnership with the Carcinoid NeuroEndocrine Tumour Society Canada (CNETS), the CRS will be co-funding one (1) operating grant on carcinoid neuroendocrine tumours.

GRePEC

The GRePEC (Research and prevention group on environment-cancer) is one of the ways in which the CRS supports research into the environmental causes of cancer. 

This program, in partnership with the Fonds de la recherche du Québec - Santé (FRQS) and the Ministère du Développement économique, de l’Innovation et de l’Exportation du Québec (MDEIE), aims to develop research on the links between the environment and cancer. The environment is herein defined as the chemical and physical elements in our living and work environments, and in our lifestyles (diet, physical activity, etc.).
