The Canadian Neuroendocrine Tumour Society (CNETS) is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life and survival rates of patients diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumours (NET) across Canada.  CNETS has supported NET cancer research since 2011, with independent competition management commencing in 2016.

CNETS has successfully awarded over thirty (30) NET Cancer Research Grants through its comprehensive national grant program. This is a testament to the unwavering dedication and commitment of the NET patient community to drive NET cancer research initiatives forward.

In 2024, we proudly celebrate nine years of substantial contributions to NET cancer research in Canada.

CNETS is excited to announce the launch of the 2024 NET Research Grant Competition, which will provide grants of up to $40,000 for NET cancer research projects in Canada.

One grant will be funded through the Daniels Constellation Fund for Neuroendocrine Cancer Research, which was made possible by the tremendous fundraising efforts of Bailey and Jonathan Daniels.

One grant will be funded through the Stuart Bremner Memorial Grant for Neuroendocrine Cancer Research, which was made possible by the tremendous generosity of Richard Bremner and Clare Jarman in memory of their son.

Relevance of the application to the focused area of Neuroendocrine Tumour (NET) cancer research.

The eligible project must involve a clinical trial or a clinical or fundamental research project (including animal or cellular models) to examine issues relevant for the understanding of the origin and development of Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), their diagnosis and treatment.

The onus is on the applicant to justify the request in terms of its relevance to the diagnosis and therapy for NET patients by these selected approaches.

Preference will be given to projects that could have a direct and meaningful impact on the lives NET patients.

To harness the unique insight only a patient or caregiver can provide, CNETS encourages applications with patient and caregiver engagement in the project design and execution.
