This funding opportunity supports the creation of a National Cancer Data and Bio-Resource Coordinating Hub that integrates and links distributed cancer research data across Canada using federated models. It funds the extension and scaling of existing operational data platforms, fostering national data sharing, AI development, interdisciplinary team science, and responsible data stewardship aligned with FAIR and GA4GH standards.
Applicants must have an existing operational data platform or infrastructure and include the Digital Research Alliance of Canada as a mandatory applicant partner with a Letter of Support. The grant targets Canadian institutions with capabilities in data stewardship and cancer research.
