CIHR/PHAC Transforming Public Health opportunity

Optimizing O'Brien members' approach to the CIHR/PHAC Transforming Public Health opportunity

Anticipating that the CIHR/PHAC Transforming Public Health opportunity will be in excellent alignment with the O’Brien Institute strategic plan 2022 - 2027, the Institute has invited CSM's Office of the Associate Dean (Research) to help interpret the opportunity and its guidelines.  The launch is expected in January, so this informal information session will review the guidelines, provide an opportunity for members to network amongst themselves about potential projects and collaborations, and to help the Institute determine a helpful CSM/Institute support process.

Join us on Feb. 3, if you have any interest in applying to this funding program, and/or send a teammate if you're not available at that time.  Come with your initial thoughts and questions on the opportunity, your potential project, and any collaboration or support needs.
