Finalize objectives for Canadian Cancer Society and Terry Fox Grants
World Cafe Event
The goal of the World Café on Monday June 17th, 2024 is to gather valuable input from partners to help develop proposals for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Health Equity Research Grants due in early September. More information about this grant can be found here: CCS Health Equity Research Grants - Advancing a more accessible and inclusive cancer care system. We have received funding from the Canadian Cancer Society to engage with partners to develop two proposals. Partners bring expertise, experience, and knowledge gained through living with or caring for someone with cancer. Partners’ insights are crucial to making this initiative successful.
