Oncology and Hematology Community Grants Program

Gilead/Kite Canada’s Oncology & Hematology Community Grants program aims to address inequity in cancer care, increase patient education and literacy, and improve experiences of underserved communities across Canada. The ambition of this program is to support new, or expand existing best-practices projects, with the goal of creating a more accessible and equitable cancer care system in Canada.

Eligibility

Gilead/Kite encourages applications that reach diverse communities and patient groups within Canada. We welcome proposals that aim to improve outcomes for specific communities impacted by cancer (of any type), including but not limited to the following:

  • Racialized communities and Indigenous groups
  • LGBTQIA+ communities
  • Migrant communities
  • People with physical or learning disabilities
  • Younger or older groups

Further information on the eligibility criteria can be found in the Funding Opportunity Announcement.
