New funding for Canadian researchers participating in FP6 health projects
The Canadian institutes for health research (CIHR) have introduced an international opportunities programme which will be used to fund Canadian participation in health research projects under the Sixth Framework Programme (FP6). The programme will also be used to fund Canadian participation in other international collaborative health research projects, and to support the search for health research partnerships. Grants aimed at facilitating the creation of partnerships will be worth up to C$ 25,000 (15,850 euro), while collaborative research grants will be worth up to C$ 100,000 (63,391 euro). The grants have been introduced because of the important role that CIHR believes international collaboration plays in improving and advancing the health of Canadians and citizens around the world. The CIHR hopes that the funding will enable Canadian researchers to participate in major international research projects, gain access to cutting edge research and technologies not currently available in Canada, and position CIHR as an international player in health research.
