Results of the January 2022 Data Transformation Grants competition
We are pleased to announce the results of the CCS Data Transformation Grants (Data-22) competition. CCS is contributing to the development of a pan-Canadian data strategy to improve cancer data in Canada. As part of this development work, the Data-22 program was launched to support short-term projects that demonstrate potential solutions that can be scaled and sustained. This program is supporting novel approaches to address concerns related to accessibility, completeness, quality, and/or timeliness of cancer data in Canada.
30 abstracts were received by the November 8, 2021 registration deadline and 28 were invited to submit a full application based on relevance review. Of the 28 full applications received by the January 17 deadline, 15 have been approved for funding - 54% of all full applications received. These projects total over $1.8 million in funding over the full term of these grants.
