Platforms

The CancerCare Manitoba Research Institute (CCMR) offers multiple services and resources to CCMR members through its core platforms, each summarized below. The Research Institute and its scientists receive grants from multiple agencies every year. This last year, fifty (50%) per cent of CCMB-managed research grants, including for core platforms, came from Manitoba donors through successful fundraising by the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation. The remaining 50% comes from other research granting agencies, the pharmaceutical industry, various universities, and government bodies. Together, $10.7M CAD has come into CCMB to support research. A total of $27M has been secured for research projects over the next 5 years.
