To protect research in progress, ongoing support is critical.
In response to this, the LLSC is offering a one-time competition to provide a boost for blood cancer research in Canada that was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Grant Details
The LLSC’s Jump Start Grant is a one (1) year grant designed to “jump-start” research once again after the delays imposed by COVID-19 by providing funding dedicated to blood cancer research in Canada. LLSC will award fifteen (15) grants in this competition up to a maximum of $100,000.
Applicants are welcome to contact us to determine their eligibility to apply.
