The National Cancer Institute of Canada offers a limited number of Travel Awards (supported by the Canadian Cancer Society) to senior level PhD or MD/PhD students. The purpose of this program is to provide financial assistance by helping defray the travel costs associated with making a scientific presentation at a conference, symposium or other appropriate professional gathering.

The purpose of this funding initiative is to broaden the scope of currently funded investigations on cancer risk factors and accelerate understanding of and action around cancer prevention, potentially including the translation of that research knowledge. Through this funding initiative, the NCIC hopes to challenge researchers working across numerous disciplines and representing the full spectrum of health research to undertake work which will contribute to our understanding of risk factors and conditions related to a broad array of cancers. A central focus of this funding program and the reason for its prioritization by the Prevention Initiative Steering Committee is the requirement that investigators describe how an understanding of cancer risk factors and conditions will have an impact on lowering the incidence of cancer for Canadians.

Candidates must be attending a conference for the purpose of presenting data (paper or poster presentation) from a cancer-related project on a first-author basis.  It is not a requirement that the research supervisor be supported by an NCIC research grant. Maximum $1,500.

The NCIC provides contributions to especially worthy conferences or symposia.  Applications for a contribution must show the details of the conference/symposium highlighting how the NCIC’s contribution will further the cause of Canadian cancer research. It is expected that the NCIC contribution would be used preferentially to defray legitimate expenses of Canadian participants at the conference or symposium. Support of Canadian trainees is especially encouraged as a use for these funds.Preference will be given to conferences or symposia being held in Canada, but contributions towards international conferences will be considered if benefit to Canadian research can be persuasively justified. Maximum: $10,000.

The intent of the Cancer Workshop Program is to facilitate the sharing of knowledge about developments in various fields of cancer research.  One of the principal objectives is to bring together, for a common purpose, individuals of diverse backgrounds who would not normally interact and collaborate.  The focus on cancer research should be primary rather than secondary, but the objective is to provide a multi-disciplinary approach to a cancer topic which may be biomedical, clinical, epidemiological or sociological in nature.  Few other restrictions have been imposed since the formula for success may vary according to circumstances. Maximum: $30,000.

Deadline: Not less than 6 months before the event.
