OTTAWA – The federal government is announcing more than $41 million for cancer prevention research.
A news release says six research funding organizations contributed funds, including the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Terry Fox Research Institute and the Canadian Cancer Society.
The Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development, the Cancer Research Society and BioCanRx also contributed funds.
The release says the funding will support 19 teams that will work over the next five years to develop and share new approaches to support cancer prevention, reduce cancer risk and improve early detection.
The Canadian Institutes of Health Research contributed $18.5 million, while the Terry Fox Research Institute provided $10 million and the Canadian Cancer Society provided $7 million.
In the release, Health Minister Marjorie Michel says prevention research is essential to protecting Canadians and collaboration makes it possible.
