BC Environmental and Occupational Health Research Network

The objective of the Prostate Cancer Canada’s (PCC) pilot grant program is to support new and innovative pilot research initiatives that have scientific merit, particularly including those from new investigators. The primary purpose of this research funding is to provide support for operating expenses. It is the expectation that grants awarded by PCC will be used as leverage to attain longer duration peer-reviewed grants for ongoing studies from larger funding agencies e.g. NCIC, CIHR, NIH, US Army DOD or NSERC. The PCC’ pilot grant program’s focus is on biological and clinical research projects and will not fund research into the psycho-social aspects of the disease.
