The New Idea Award

Deadline: 2018-10-26
Award: $75,000 CAD
Open to: Researchers*

The New Idea Award is a concept award to support innovative approaches that may fundamentally change the understanding, diagnosis and/or treatment of blood cancers and related pre-malignant conditions.

Specifically, this program supports the initial exploration of untested but potentially transformative ideas that challenge our knowledge of blood cancer or the manner in which we approach diagnosis or treatment.

Competitive proposals will describe ideas that take the investigator’s research in a substantially new direction, and thus preliminary data is not required.

n addition to applications from blood cancer researchers, we strongly encourage applications from those with expertise outside of blood cancer, with the goal of stimulating new research.

In order to receive such an award, applicants must succinctly describe as one aim the innovative idea/approach and a method for testing it within the one year grant period.

Grants will be awarded in an amount of up to $75,000 for a one year period.
