Purpose and Objectives

CCRA serves as the pan-Canadian coordinating voice for cancer research, meeting the research needs of The Canadian Partnership Against Cancer.

 

CCRA has a three-pronged mandate:  

  1. It responds to the research needs of other Action Groups within The Partnership by planning, initiating and overseeing appropriate peer-reviewed research initiatives. 

  2. It works to coordinate cancer research, target gaps and eliminate unnecessary overlap at a pan-Canadian level.

  3. It identifies, develops and initiates large transformative cancer research initiatives.
