Funding, News and Announcements

A third call has been announced by CIHR for the Joint Canada-Israel Health Research Program. This is a joint initiative of CIHR, the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) in Ottawa, the Israel Science Foundation, and the Azrieli Foundation.

The scientific focus of these calls is the biomedical sciences in cancer, with special emphasis on new frontiers in overcoming therapeutic resistance in high-fatality cancers.

There is an expectation that research teams include researchers from low- and middle-income countries, as well as Canadians and Israelis. Up to $1.17 million is available for a project implementation period of up to three years.

Full details are available online here. Note the requirement to pre-register in January.

Any faculty member interested in this opportunity is asked to contact the International Research Facilitator (jennifer.morawiecki@dal.ca) in Dalhousie Research Services for more information and support in preparing an application.

Deadline: 14 February 2017
