CIHR's Strategic Plan states: "Knowledge creation, the first tenet of CIHR's mandate, is the source of changes to our understanding of the world around us. Each new contribution to the field of health science and technology brings us one step closer to understanding the origin of diseases and developing the most effective ways of delivering care and promoting health. Because all scientific progress stems from curiosity-driven questions, CIHR has always provided - and will continue to provide - strong support for discovery-based research."

Attendance at this workshop is highly recommended for any researchers who are planning to submit an application to this competition.
