Regional Partnership Program

Please be advised that CIHR has confirmed that the March 2013 Open Operating Grant competition will be the final launch of the SK-CIHR Regional Partnership Program. If you have any questions about the Regional Partnership Program, please contact Alana Kolendreski, Health Research Facilitator and Grants Officer at: Alana.Kolendreski@usask.ca.

As you know, CIHR is making substantial changes to their funding programs. The University of Saskatchewan and the Saskatoon Health Region were privileged to have CIHR delegates visit Saskatoon on January 28, 2013. As a part of this visit, CIHR President Dr. Alain Beaudet gave a town hall presentation on CIHR’s new open suite of programs and peer review processes. Attached are the CIHR’s presentation slides.
