Governing Council

Made up of up to 18 Canadians – each from a unique background and possessing an outstanding skill set – the Governing Council is CIHR's Board of Directors.

Its members come together from across Canada to set the broad strategic direction for the creation of new knowledge and translation into better health for Canadians, better health services and products, and a stronger health care system.
