Strategic Training Program Grant Competition

CIHR is pleased to announce the results of the Letter of Intent (LOI) review for the "Training Grant" Funding Opportunity.

A training program supported by a Training Grant consists of a group of excellent mentors/educators, accomplished in health research, who work collaboratively to offer a research training program of defined format and content to a group of trainees, mainly at the level of graduate and postdoctoral studies, although other training components are possible. The training programs are intended to improve the mentoring and training environment for health researchers in Canada, foster collaborative, team research across disciplines and integrate training on the ethical conduct of research and related ethical issues, knowledge translation and professional skills such as communication, teamwork, project management and leadership. The training programs are anticipated to be an important source of Canada's next generation of health research leaders and creative agents for change. Grant funds are primarily targeted towards supporting research trainees through stipends. In addition, funds can be used for items such as developing the program and for travel between training sites.

A total of 166 letters of intent were submitted to the competition and 123 have been invited to submit full applications. Please note that all Development Funds requests are still under review and will be posted shortly.
