Network Pilot Projects

In order to operationalize the Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network, the Terry Fox Research Institute and the Terry Fox Foundation have been working with research and funding partners across Canada to co-invest in pilot projects that are focused on determining how precision medicine can best be implemented.

These projects are serving as a proof of concept for the network, enabling us to co-create the methods, procedures and infrastructure needed to seamlessly share, store and analyze Big Data derived from cancer patients. By leveraging regional strengths to bring improved treatments and therapeutics to all patients, our pilot projects are establishing a strong foundation for us to build the Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network.
