Are you a cancer patient, survivor, or caregiver who is interested in learning more about cancer research?
CCRA’s Patient Involvement in Cancer Research Program (known as PIP) will be offered virtually in the fall of 2021. This program is designed for cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers with an interest in learning more about cancer research and how they can contribute to the research enterprise. PIP is interwoven into the Canadian Cancer Research Conference (CCRC) and provides participants with an opportunity to learn about leading edge science and network with cancer researchers and trainees. You will be paired with a science partner who will be available to address questions and help you get the most out of the research presented at the conference. Best of all, you will be linked to other patients, survivors, and caregivers also interested in cancer research! If you would like to apply, please click here (deadline for applications is July 23, 2021). If you would like more information, please contact Kim Badovinac.
