Congratulations to all of our members on their recent success!
Congratulations to all of our members on their recent success with their CIHR Project Grant funding. Overall, the Faculty of Medicine and its affiliated research institutes had an outstanding 15% success rate, and a 43% success rate among the new faculty/institute APUO recruits.
CIHR funds innovative health research for the benefit of all Canadians, and the Faculty of Medicine continues to shine in its enviable position as a leading research-intensive institution.
