The FCRF program has limited the number of applications that may be submitted by McMaster to five. Applications submitted by November 18, 2022 will undergo an internal review process. Those selected will be forwarded to the FCRF by December 19, 2022 for further consideration by a joint Canada-France committee.

Eligibility:

Examples of eligible studies include:

  • Studies that facilitate movement of research-generated knowledge to actual application of such knowledge in population health, screening or clinical practice settings
  • Studies that enable engagement of new users, including patients, along the translational continuum to advance the research into clinical settings
  • Studies that adapt a research tool for use in cancer prevention, clinical settings or clinical trials
  • Studies that conduct economic analysis or generate real-world evidence required to inform adoption of research into policy or routine healthcare
  • Studies evaluating the comparative real-world clinical- and cost-effectiveness of interventions
  • Knowledge translation activities that will advance the adoption of research into policy or routine healthcare

Eligibility:

OICR invites applications from investigators at Ontario academic centres, hospital research institutes or other government research institutions. There is no limit to the number of applications investigators are eligible to submit as PI or Co-PI. OICR is focused on developing and supporting the next generation of cancer researchers and strongly encourages applicants to include early career investigators/clinicians as part of the project team. Further, teams should consider the inclusion of a physician and/or a biostatistician for relevant projects. This Request for Applications does not require previous OICR funding support in order to be eligible.
