Launch of the VISION investigator leadership mentoring and training program

CCTG is happy to announce the launch of the new Investigator Leadership Mentoring and Training (VISION) program. As part of our mandate to support training and education within the network, this program aims to provide CCTG investigators the opportunity to enhance their leadership skills through interactive, expert-facilitated workshops. VISION is designed to enhance the leadership skills of the next generation of clinical trialists. The program aims to equip current and emerging cancer research leaders with the knowledge, expertise, and confidence to represent CCTG nationally and internationally. 

The program runs for eight months from April - November 2026 and participants will receive a CCTG Leadership Training Certificate following completion. Full details on the application process and more information on the program curriculum can be found here > https://www.ctg.queensu.ca/public/vision-investigator-leadership-training

This initiative has been developed under the guidance of Dr. Janet Dancey, CCTG Chair, Dr. Anna Spreafico, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre University Health Network, Laura Pearce, CCTG Senior Investigator, and Dr. Wendy Parulekar, CCTG Senior Investigator and Director of Education.

The due date for applications is January 30, 2026. Contact Heather Tomalty, CCTG education lead (education@ctg.queensu.ca) with any questions about the program.
