Alberta's Tomorrow Project

Welcome to Alberta’s Tomorrow Project (ATP), a longitudinal study tracking the health of 55,000 adults in this western Canadian province. Launched in 2000, ATP’s mission is to investigate why some people develop cancer and chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes, while others do not. The answers to be discovered over the next several decades will not only help shape how cancer and other illnesses are detected, diagnosed, and treated – but most importantly, how they can be prevented in the first place.

Albertans between the ages of 35 and 69 years, from all walks of life, and from all regions of the province, stepped forward to participate in ATP, the largest research project in the province’s history.
