• Cancer Research Training Program (CRTP) Awards

Twice each year the Beatrice Hunter Cancer Research Institute holds a funding competition as part of its Cancer Research Training Program (CRTP), which is funded principally through the Terry Fox Strategic Health Research Training Program in Cancer Research at CIHR. The CRTP has a curriculum that provides training and funding to graduate students, medical residents, postdoctoral fellows and clinical research fellows involved in cancer research at recognized institutions in Atlantic Canada.  A limited number of traineeship awards will be offered to outstanding applicants with an interest in cancer research.

The March 2013 CRTP funding competition is now closed. Thank you to all those who applied.

The next competition will be held in the Fall 2013.
