CanRehab Program Funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Canadian Cancer Society

Dr. Kristin Campbell is a part of a team that was awarded a $2.37 million grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Canadian Cancer Society as part of the largest cancer survivorship research initiative in Canada. The project is entitled CanRehab and is funded over five years. Three concurrent projects will be conducted at BC Cancer, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre (Ontario) Saint John Regional Hospital (New Brunswick), and Dr. H Bliss Murphy Cancer Centre (Newfoundland), focusing on breast, colorectal, head and neck, and lymphoma cancer sites, respectively. The team will focus on research that will lead to sustainable change to cancer supportive care in each community and will focus on exercise programs and educational workshops. More information can be found on the Canadian Cancer Society website and from the Faculty of Medicine.
