Fellowship: Respiratory Health - Funding Decisions Notification (October 2008 Competition: 200810XCL)

(Alternate Title: Fellowships CIHR/Rx&D - CLA/GSK Research Program)

The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) is pleased to announce the results of the Fellowship: Respiratory Health competition.

Funding Opportunity Summary

The specific objective of this funding opportunity is to encourage a broad spectrum of post-doctoral fellows (PhD and MD) to train in the field of respiratory health. Canada has traditionally been a world leader in research into asthma and COPD. We anticipate that this funding will help maintain research excellence in these areas of study.

In addition, the intent of this initiative is to facilitate the translational objectives of CIHR, with particular interests in clinical research. Clinical research combines discoveries from the basic science laboratory incorporating the observations and insights of health professionals (a key aspect of translational research). It is the creation of new health knowledge and the translation of that knowledge from the research setting into applications where it ultimately impacts on the health of Canadians.

Funding Competition Summary

A total of 2 applications were approved for funding.
