The program, established in 2003, is jointly managed and funded by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). Its aim is to promote the development of Japanese-Canadian scientific co-operation between scientists from universities or affiliated research organizations in Japan and Canada through the support of collaborative research project grants.
The call for 2006 proposals is a collaboration between JSPS and three CIHR Institutes, with applications requested in all areas embraced by the Institutes' mandates:
Applications were reviewed separately by JSPS and CIHR by their respective peer review committees. Following this review the final ranking list was determined through a joint meeting between reviewers from both organizations.
A total of 9 applications were reviewed in response to the Japan-Canada Joint Health Research Program. The table below identifies the number of applications received and approved under this initiative.
