Workshops, Symposia and Conferences

The CIHR Institute of Infection and Immunity (III) has a mandate to promote and support excellence in internationally recognized research in the areas of infection and immunity. The Institute interacts with scientists, community groups, non-governmental health organizations and international researchers to identify research priorities, establish partnerships and undertake collaborative research initiatives.

Program

The III will normally provide support for workshops, symposia and national and international conferences held in Canada, which have a direct relevance to research in the areas of infection and immunity.

Workshops/symposia/conferences can focus on special initiatives which will give new strategic direction for future research in Canada. Funding for such workshops/symposia/conferences is at the discretion of the Institute and is completely dependent on relevance to the III mandate and strategic goals.

Application Procedure

Applications for workshops and symposia must be submitted to the "Meetings, Planning and Dissemination Grant" program of III through ResearchNet. Planned deadlines for applications are June 1, October 1 and February 1 annually.

Instruction on how to apply and description of the program is available on ResearchNet.
