Blood cancer research grant opportunities
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC) funds research of blood cancers by scientists working in leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, MDS and MPNs research at cancer centres across Canada. LLSC awards grants for studies that will advance our mission to find cures for blood cancers and improve the quality of life of people affected by a blood cancer. These studies range from basic research projects that will lead to a better understanding of blood cancers, to translational research projects that show high promise for bringing biomedical knowledge to clinical application.
