The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) is pleased to announce the launch of its eLearning series for reviewers new to CIHR and to its peer review process.

The University of Waterloo’s Health Initiatives team launched the Graham Seed Fund (GSF) and invited researchers to submit their proposals for innovative health-care solutions. 

Dr. Catherine Burns, the associate vice-president of Waterloo’s Health Initiatives, shares her perspectives on transforming health care in Canada.

The purpose of this session was to give potential applicants to the Health Services Evaluation & Interventions Research (HS) Peer Review Committees of the CIHR Project Grant program an opportunity to hear first-hand about the committee ‘culture’.

On October 31, the University of Waterloo launched the Graham Seed Fund program – a funding opportunity designed to broadly encourage innovative health care solutions for challenges of today and tomorrow from the “patient perspective” and a pipeline for research and innovation at the intersection of health, technology and society.

The Graham Seed Fund is now accepting applications for new projects that will work towards the University’s strategic priority of creating a globally recognized hub for innovative and transformative health technologies.
