Research For a Brighter Tomorrow

Share This Article

Change in the world of cancer care and treatment doesn’t happen overnight. It’s the result of hard work and a network of support. 

For researchers, one branch of that support network comes in the form of studentships and fellowships, which are grants that support academic education and research at all levels. These positions at the University of Alberta and the University of Calgary attract talented leaders, thoughtful changemakers and outside-the-box thinkers whose work provides hope for a brighter future. 

All of these research positions would not be possible without the generosity of Alberta families and organizations, and the Alberta Cancer Foundation is grateful to everyone who gives back to support cutting-edge cancer research.
