Research Chair: Industry Partnered

There are two main arms to CIHR's Innovation and Industry Programs: the CIHR/Rx&D Collaborative Research Program and the CIHR/SME (Small and Medium Enterprise) Research Program.

The objective of the Research Chair: Industry-Partnered Program is to provide an opportunity for universities to recruit or retain outstanding Investigators to develop internationally competitive research programs and to transfer new knowledge from the university to industry. The candidate must secure the sponsorship of an eligible company before a registration can be submitted.

Funding under this program is primarily intended to provide salary support for the Chair holder, but may also include an operating and/or equipment grant component. This program is unique to CIHR's Innovation and Industry Programs.

CIHR's Innovation and Industry Programs are designed to help the academic community interact with Canadian companies with an interest in health research and development. The programs promote a wide variety of peer-reviewed research and training projects jointly funded by Canadian companies and CIHR. The research planned should be beneficial to both parties, while improving the quality of health of Canadians.
