Selection of Trials for CAPRI
Trial proposals are solicited from investigators across Canada. All trials are peer-reviewed in a double-blind process by both Canadian and International experts. Proposals are scored based on novelty, scientific relevance, feasibility, methodology, and potential for clinical impact. If you are an investigator wishing to propose a trial, please contact us below.
Funding of CAPRI Trials
CAPRI trials are funded through philanthropic donations made to the London Health Sciences Foundation, and operating research funds from the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research.
