Graduates Arising from CANSA Granted Projects

CANSA acknowledges the importance of building the capacity of a new generation of cancer researchers to further develop much-needed advances in cancer research in South Africa. Where appropriate, Type A grants facilitate postgraduate and post-doctoral students to work under the supervision of the principal investigator and grant holder.

We are also supporting and building capacity for emerging cancer researchers in the Type B and C research grants.

For the financial year 2023/2024, arising from the two type A projects, one Ph.D. and one Masters degree was awarded to students from the Universities of Cape Town and the Witwatersrand. Four
additional researchers worked on these research projects and were supported with CANSA research funds.
