Partnership Award

The CIHR Partnership Award annually recognizes a partnership that exemplifies excellence. The recipients receive a $25,000 award in the form of a one-year research grant for advancing the research or knowledge translation activities of the partnership.

These partnerships involve organizations from the private, voluntary or public sectors. They bring health research communities together:

• to create innovative approaches to research questions;
• to develop research agendas that are responsive to the health needs, concerns and priorities of Canadians; and
• to accelerate the translation of knowledge for the benefit of Canadians.
