The founding partners of the Interagency Advisory
Panel on Research Ethics are the Canadian Institutes of Health Research
(CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC),
and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).
CIHR is the Government of Canada's premier agency for health research.
Its objective is to excel, according to internationally accepted standards
of scientific excellence, in the creation of new knowledge and its translation
into improved health for Canadians, more effective health services and
products and a strengthened health care system.
NSERC is the national instrument for making strategic investments in Canada's
capability in science and technology. NSERC's products are innovations,
scientific discoveries, and highly qualified people.
SSHRC funds university-based research and training in the social sciences
and humanities. SSHRC-funded research helps Canadians innovate and compete,
maintain their quality of life and understand a rapidly changing world.
