CIHR Funding Success

CIHRimage

A number of individuals from our department received CIHR Operating Grants this cycle. CIHR had more than 3,000 submission, and 400  that were funded, 44 went to UBC and 6 to the Department of Ob/Gyn.  With a very low success rate at CIHR (13%), this is quite remarkable.
