Supporting the Next Generation of Cancer Researchers
Supporting and training cancer research students and early career investigators is a core function of the Beatrice Hunter Cancer Research Institute (BHCRI). Since its inception, BHCRI has built a unique and comprehensive Cancer Research Training Program (CRTP), supporting early-career investigators through research funding, expert mentorship, and opportunities for collaboration and professional growth.
The Cancer Research Training Program (CRTP) connects emerging cancer researchers with expert mentors, collaborative networks, and world-class facilities across Atlantic Canada. Currently, CRTP supports more than 40+ graduate students, PhD and Postdoctoral Fellows engaged in innovate cancer research under the guidance of lead investigators.
Trainees benefit from a strong sense of community, regular opportunities to share ideas and receive feedback, and access to a nationally respected peer-review process that promotes excellence.
