Dr. Ian Graham speaks Tuesday, March 9, 2010
WINNIPEG, MB – Everyone is invited to attend a free public lecture that will be of particular interest to individuals and teams involved in making our community healthier. The Canadian Institutes of Health Research is the largest funding agency in the country, investing close to $1 billion a year in health research being carried out by some 13,000 researchers working in hospitals, universities and other research centres across the country.
Interdisciplinary teams focus on important research issues, such as obesity, aging, regenerative medicine, mental health in workplace, palliative care for cancer patients and HIV/AIDS research, to name but a few. CIHR welcomes social science and humanities researchers.
In addition to breaking down the barriers between disciplines, CIHR wants to break down the barriers between the health research community and the people who benefit from health research.
Find out how your team can access significant research dollars.
Dr. Ian Graham, Vice-President of Knowledge Translation at the Canadian Institutes of Health Research will highlight little-known opportunities for interdisciplinary teams involved in applied health research.
