Partner Linkage Tool for Beyond Treatment: Advancing Cancer Survivorship Team Grants

The Beyond Treatment: Advancing Cancer Survivorship Team Grants funding opportunity aims to unite interdisciplinary research teams to advance the understanding of the risks and development of late and long-term toxicities associated with cancer treatments, as well as strategies to improve survivorship care post-treatment, in relation to host, lifestyle, environmental, social, and other intersectional factors.

The Partner Linkage Tool aims to facilitate connections between applicants to support the formation of research teams and application development.

To be included in this Partner Linkage Tool, please complete this form. This form can be completed by researchers, knowledge users (e.g., people with lived and living experience, practitioners, policy makers), and applicant partners, who are interested in sharing information and/or establishing collaborations for this funding opportunity.

Applicant partner Pediatric Cancer Survivorship Applicant partner support from ACCESS is available for projects focused on pediatric cancer survivorship.

In-kind contributions may include parent and patient network connections and support for knowledge mobilization and engagement activities:

  • ACCESS maintains extensive connections to children with cancer, survivors, and their families across Canada through its Persons with Lived Experience Network and can help facilitate connections between research teams and PWLLE partners to ensure survivorship research is meaningfully informed by community needs and lived experiences.
  • ACCESS can facilitate the dissemination of research findings across diverse stakeholder groups, providing guidance on research translation, educational tools, and stakeholder communications that support the integration of evidence into survivor-centred policies and practices.

Applicant partner   Applicant partner support from the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer is available for projects aimed at achieving the goals of the Canadian Strategy for Cancer Control – equitable access to quality cancer care, fewer people developing cancer, and longer, better quality of life for those affected.

In-kind support include:

  • Access to CPAC's Experiences of Cancer Patients in Transition Study data and guidance on designing, conducting, and interpreting analyses. The Transition Study is the largest pan-Canadian survey of its kind highlighting the experiences of over 13,000 cancer survivors as they moved from active treatment to follow-up care, with a focus on identifying gaps and improving post-treatment support.
  • Access to CPAC's OncoSim microsimulation model and guidance on designing, conducting, and interpreting analyses, as well as networking and collaboration opportunities with other users. OncoSim projects health and economic outcomes for various cancers, enabling the evaluation of survivorship-focused interventions through population-level simulations.

As a data scientist, I have been modeling late effects in pediatric cancer survivors for over 10 years. My experties and interests lie in building and validating risk prediction algorithms to provide individualized survelliance plan and counselling, utlizing cancer treatment information. As the lead or senior PI, my research in this area has produced publications in Lancet Oncology, JCO, Cancer Research, and other top tier journals, as well as three public available risk prediction tools for pediatric cancer survivors.

I am a women's health researcher specializing in breast cancer and gender-based violence as a form of trauma that can promote cancer development and compromise patient outcomes. I also study trauma- and violence-informed care, inclusive of development and validation of clinical tools. I have a new tool ready to be implemented and evaluated in the clinical breast cancer setting to determine impacts (if any) on health outcomes and women's experiences of care. I'm proficient in mixed-methods research and translation of lived experience of trauma to changes in practice. The consideration of how psychosocial trauma is connected to biological and physiological outcomes is of great interest to me. I also wish to motivate the integration of trauma- and violence-informed care in the cancer context. I'm interested in collaborations that value an interdisciplinary approach to cancer research with an equity-, diversity-, inclusion-, and decolonization-informed lens. I'm also open to additional opportunities related to my area of expertise.
