Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health (ICRH)
New Frontiers Program in the area of Clinical Imaging Research
Within the next three weeks, the
CIHR Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health will be announcing the launch of a New Frontiers Program in the area of Clinical Imaging Research. The goal of this program is to support a workshop that will bring researchers, clinicians and other stakeholders together to explore and define the gaps between basic imaging research and clinical imaging applications in areas of circulatory and respiratory sciences, including imaging technologies associated with the heart, lung, brain (stroke), blood and blood vessels, critical and intensive care and sleep. In particular, the workshop will focus on the broad question of measuring the impact of existing and novel imaging technologies and imaging biomarkers. The workshop will be a venue for stakeholders to discuss pressing research questions and methodological development in relation to the above focus, as well as to define opportunities, challenges, and possible future directions for a large scale research initiative.
