Two Trainees Awarded Prostate Cancer Foundation Canada Research Grants

Each year, the Foundation provides funds to students and postdoctoral researchers to advance their contributions to prostate cancer research. The Grant-In-Aid Committee receives a multitude of applications annually, making the selection process highly competitive. Awarded recipients are closely supervised and evaluated to maintain transparency and accountability for all projects funded by the PCF.
