The Institute of Cancer Research, in partnership with CancerCare Manitoba, Cancer Care Nova Scotia, the Institute of Aboriginal Peoples' Health, the Institute of Gender and Health and the Institute of Health Services and Policy Research is pleased to announce the results of the Team Grant: Access to Quality Cancer Care competition.
The purpose of this Request for Applications is to fund outstanding research that, through an integral requirement for knowledge translation, will provide the evidence that will lead directly to improved access to quality cancer care, from prevention to palliation. The Emerging Teams funding program will ensure capacity building in cancer-related health services research in general and will provide an ideal environment for the formation of collaborative research teams involving researchers, health care professionals, health system managers and policy makers. It is hoped that the strong support of Canada's provincial cancer agencies will encourage applications directly linked to provincial priorities and create inter-provincial networking opportunities in the future that will provide equitable and timely access to health care for all Canadians.
A total of nineteen applications were received to the November 1, 2006 deadline, of which seven were approved for funding. A peer review committee adjudicated applications.
