| Brief Description | The Canadian Cancer Society Bernard and Francine Dorval Prize is given to a promising young Canadian investigator permanently residing in Canada who began their independent research career within the previous 10 years. Unless the nominator makes a case for exception, the start of the independent career will be defined as the date that the candidate was first appointed as an independent scientist or faculty member. They must be doing basic laboratory work as the principal investigator in activities conducted in Canada which are judged to be outstanding contributions to basic biomedical research and that have the potential to lead to, or have led to, better understanding of cancer, improved cancer treatments, cures or new advances in cancer control. The Young Investigator award was added to recognize researchers who have made exceptional contributions to cancer research and cancer control. |
