ACECHR is a group of Canadian early-career health investigators advocating for funding policies and career development opportunities that would promote a sustainable research workforce and invest in future discovery and innovation in health research. Members of the ACECHR are current (0-5 years in faculty position) or recent (about 5-8 years in faculty position) early career health researchers with an affiliation at a Canadian institution. Early-career investigators (ECIs) or early career researchers (ECRs) are typically assistant professors at research universities and hospitals who have held their positions for 8 years or less. There is no charge for membership.
The group is also currently looking to fill one spot on the ACECHR National Steering Committee. Terms on the National Steering Committee are for 2 years, with an approximate time commitment of 3-4 meetings/year and approximately 1 hour/month contributing to tasks related to ACECHR National Steering Committee. You must be a member of ACECHR to self-nominate.
The group is accepting nominations until December 5, 2021. As soon as you submit your member form, you can then submit this self-nomination form.
