(Alternate Title: Training Grant)

The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) are pleased to announce the results of the Training Grant: 2007-2008 (Strategic Training Initiative in Health Research) competition.

Funding Opportunity Summary

A training program supported by a Training Grant consists of a group of excellent mentors/educators, accomplished in health research, who work collaboratively to offer a research training program of defined format and content to a group of trainees, mainly at the level of graduate and postdoctoral studies, although other training components are possible. The training programs are intended to improve the mentoring and training environment for health researchers in Canada, to foster collaborative, team research across disciplines and to integrate training on the ethical conduct of research and related ethical issues, knowledge translation and professional skills such as communication, teamwork, project management and leadership. The training programs are anticipated to be an important source of Canada's next generation of health research leaders and creative agents for change. Grant funds are primarily targeted towards supporting research trainees through stipends. In addition, funds can be used for items such as developing the program and for travel between training sites.

Funding Competition Summary

A total of 120 applications were received of which 54 were approved for funding.
