POSTPONED: Information session: CIHR Foundation Scheme

Thursday, July 21, 2016 14:00to16:00

Dear CIHR community members,

 

As you may be aware from the different announcements released by CIHR last week, the fall competitions for both the Foundation Scheme and the Project Scheme have yet to be launched.

 

Following the announcement by the Minister of Health, Jane Philpott,  CIHR has organized an urgent working meeting with key representatives of the research community to discuss solutions to the issues raised about the reformed open programs and particularly about the quality and integrity of the new on-line peer review system.  Additional details about this working meeting to be held tomorrow July 13th can be found here. It remains unknown at this time if and when any changes to the reformed Open Programs will be implemented but we expect that both the Foundation Scheme and Project Scheme competitions will be launched shortly. 

 

Despite the uncertainty at this time, the Office of Sponsored Research plans on giving an information session for the Foundation Scheme 2016 competition  as described below:
