Several grants were awarded to staff from the Canadian Institute of Health Research (CIHR). These grants will support a range of cancer research projects including:
Dr. Darren Brenner and Dr. Winson Cheung for their study on using real-world data to improve patient outcomes among early-age-at-onset colorectal cancer patients.
Dr. Lin Yang in collaboration with Dr. Colleen Cuthbert on colorectal cancer survivors participating in Tai Chi to manage long term changes to bowel functions.
Dr. Christine Friedenreich and Dr. Lin Yang also received a grant for their AMBER Cohort Study on understanding how physical activity, sedentary behavior, and health related fitness are related to breast cancer survival.
