Wondering how funds raised are being put into action? Prostate Cancer Canada (PCC) has just announced the launch of its new Research Strategy which outlines where to best allocate funds for prostate cancer research. To create this strategy PCC conducted a scan of the prostate cancer environment identifying gaps and opportunities, a community survey, and enlisted the aid of leading Canadian prostate cancer researchers. To learn more about this research advisory panel and this process please click here. As the culmination of this work, the strategy identifies three main priorities: 

·         Innovative Research - Outline strategic investments in prostate cancer research that will have the greatest impact on the disease.
·         Team Science - Develop innovative programs that build and sustain an outstanding Canadian prostate cancer research community.
·         Human Capacity Building – Train and help retain the next generation of prostate cancer research leaders.

These priorities will be address through a series of request for proposal grants to be announced in the coming months. To read more about the strategy, including the details on the environmental scan and survey results, click here.
