The Translational Research Partnership Program supports collaborative projects in cancer research to help accelerate the development of new treatments and/or technologies for the benefit of patients. The Translational Research Partnership strategy is bold and ambitious. The aim is to break down the boundaries between research disciplines, which may include researchers from non-cancer backgrounds, in order to find innovative solutions to prevent, detect and treat cancer. CRS partners with a range of organizations to maximize the impact of research on patient outcomes.

Projects must meet the following conditions:

  • Be translational research and may include clinical trial studies
    • Basic research projects are out of scope
