Eight projects at CHU Sainte-Justine funded under the CIHR Project Grants: Fall 2020 competition
More than $ 7 million in grants to advance research in mother-child health
As part of the Project Grants: Fall 2020 competition launched by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), 17 researchers from the CHU Sainte-Justine Research Centre, affiliated with the University of Montreal, were awarded more than $7 million in grants.
In addition, three grants as part of a CIHR Priority Announcement were awarded to ten other researchers. This success rate reflects the excellence of the centre's pool of researchers, as well as its strength in clinical, fundamental and translational research.
Nationally, CIHR has approved 354 research grants for a total investment of approximately $274M. In addition, 97 priority announcement grants were funded to a total amount of $9,575,000 and 11 supplemental prizes were awarded for a total of $296,500. The average grant size/duration is approximately $775,325 over 4.41 years.
CIHR encourages research excellence by providing grants to promising projects with the aim of improving the health of Canadians and supporting Canada’s competitiveness in the knowledge economy.
