Since its inception in 1999,
KCCFA’s research program has made important inroads in
creating a world centre for pediatric cancer research here
in Alberta. Here are some of our research milestones:
|
→ |
In 2002, the Foundation
spearheaded the creation of the Kids Cancer Care
Foundation Chair in Pediatric Oncology at the
University of Calgary. |
|
→ |
KCCFA was also instrumental in creating the
Hughes Children’s Cancer Research Centre (HCCRC) at the University of Calgary, a veritable hub of research activity. |
|
→ |
In 2010, KCCFA made a $2.5
million commitment to support collaborative research
in experimental and applied therapeutics at the
Alberta Children’s Hospital, University of Calgary
and the Southern Alberta Cancer Research Institute. |
|
→ |
Each year, the Foundation
supports new and ongoing research through a
competitive research granting program, ensuring that
Alberta scientists can continue the quest for a cure
for childhood cancer. The KCCFA grant program is
temporarily suspended from 2010 to 2015, while the
Foundation fulfills its commitment to the
experimental and applied therapeutics program at the
Alberta Children’s Hospital. |
