The National Research Forum for Young Investigators in Circulatory and Respiratory Health (YI Forum)

The purpose of the Young Investigators Forum is to support young researchers from the circulatory-respiratory community by offering them the opportunity to deliver scientific presentations, to learn about current circulatory and respiratory research activity, to network with many colleagues and mentors and to gain experience in leadership roles such as Chairing sessions or mentoring others.

The roles and responsibilities of the YI Forum Steering Committee are as follows:

To provide recommendations to the ICRH Institute Advisory Board (IAB) on all aspects of the YI Forum, including such areas as: objectives, intended audience, meeting frequency, program themes, etc.
To develop the YI Forum program and establish subcommittees as required
