Canadian researchers are invited to submit proposals to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada’s Blood Cancer Quality of Life Grant Competition.
Quality of life issues for people affected by a blood cancer have been less well studied than other fields of research. The intent of this funding opportunity is to support new research designed to address quality of life challenges experienced by Canadians affected by blood cancers from the time of their diagnosis until entry into end-of-life care. Quality of life cancer research has the potential to make a significant impact on the burden of disease in patients, survivors and caregivers.
