In June 2019, MiCM was thrilled to announce the award winners of the first iteration of ResearchMatch. From the original 37 ResearchMatch applications received, 18 projects successfully found a collaborator within the McGill community and submitted a joint ResearchMatch proposal. These projects were peer reviewed by the MiCM committee.
The deadline to apply to ResearchMatch v1 was May 1 2019 at 5pm EST.
With help from partners; Mi4 (McGill Interdisciplinary Initiative in Infection and Immunity), LDI (Lady Davis Institute), the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) and the McGill Faculty of Medicine, MiCM was able to fund 9 ResearchMatch projects.
