We work closely with our global men's health partners to ensure collaboration, transparency and accountability for every project we fund. We monitor this through report cards which detail what we seek to achieve, key measures and the impact.
Prostate Cancer
"Together with the brightest minds in research, we aim to achieve significant breakthroughs in the hope of beating prostate cancer. Our disruptive funding approach identifies revolutionary ways to accelerate health outcomes by creating strong, global collaborative teams." Dr. Colleen Nelson, Global Scientific Chair.
Men's Health
"One Mo can help change the face of men’s health through the powerful conversations created globally during Movember. Men have the chance to confidently discuss men’s health with people around them, resulting in men taking action early, helping change and save lives." Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programs
Mental health and suicide prevention
“The number of men taking their own lives around the world is one of the biggest challenges of our time. Movember is working to ensure all men and boys look after their mental health and are comfortable to seek help when they’re struggling.”
Brendan Maher, Global Director, Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.
Testicular Cancer
“Despite being the 2nd most common cancer in young men, testicular cancer is often a forgotten cancer due to early detection and treatment. Our projects look at underinvested areas such as improving access to healthcare services and treatment options for relapse” Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programs.

What we seek to achieve

To provide innovative seed funding to research projects that will generate preliminary data in the prostate cancer field that could then be used to attract a more substantial research grant from another agency.

About the project

Discovery Grants are open to all eligible new and established researchers based at an academic institution or hospital in Canada to pursue new important directions in prostate cancer research. Projects funded by this mechanism must be innovative; this may include very early research studies that may not have preliminary data to support the proposal. Proposals may be high risk but high gain/reward.

Conditions of the Discovery Grant are that a new investigator has held an academic or research appointment(s) for no more than 5 years; an established investigator has held an academic or research appointment(s) for a period of 5 years or more.

The proposed research projects may address any of the broad areas of prostate cancer research, including but not limited to biomedical, clinical, population health and health services/economics. These are unrestricted grants focusing on innovation in all areas of prostate cancer research, including investigating a cure, treatment or biology of the disease.

Selection of grant recipients occurs through a rigorous peer review process consisting of 4 peer review panels; biology, early detection, novel therapeutics and survivorship, and health economics and services; each panel considered applications from New Investigators and Established Investigators in separate streams. Movember funding has supported five Discovery Grants competitions, held annually beginning in 2013.

Men in Mind

The vision of this project is to be the ‘go to’ training resource for clinicians across the world seeking to (a) understand the needs and preferences of men, (b) gain training to better understand and respond to men's distress, (c) increase their confidence and competence in engaging with male client's, and (d) provide a gate way to Movember’s other tools, resources to stay mentally healthy and well.
