Stand Up To Cancer Canada (SU2C Canada) and Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) share a common mission to make cancer patients into cancer survivors through accelerated, collaborative research that improves treatments and outcomes. Both SU2C Canada and SU2C utilize the entertainment industry’s resources to engage the public in supporting and contributing to these initiatives. Stand Up To Cancer Canada is a Canadian Registered Charity (Reg #80550 6730 RR0001). Stand Up To Cancer is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization in the United States. Each organization has its own Board of Directors that include senior executives of media networks in their respective countries. Scientific research funded by SU2C Canada is evaluated, recommended, and monitored by the SU2C Canada Scientific Advisory Committee. The US-based SU2C initiative has a separate Scientific Advisory Committee. SU2C Canada and SU2C share a common mission; however, they are separate and distinct programs.

Dream Teams are flagship projects that bring together multidisciplinary researchers from different institutions to address critical problems in cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

The Innovative Research Grant (IRG) program supports cutting-edge cancer research that would be deemed too high-risk to receive funding through traditional channels. IRG awards provide significant funding to early-career scientists with novel ideas that have a strong potential to impact patient care. Currently the IRG program only operates in the US under the US-based Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C), but awardees collaborate with Stand Up To Cancer Canada (SU2C Canada) and SU2C Dream Teams annually at the SU2C Scientific Summit.
