Institute Advisory Boards (IAB)

Each of the CIHR's 13 Institutes has an advisory board composed of a diverse group of national and international representatives of the public, private and non-profit sectors, including the research community and health practitioners. Institute Advisory Boards (IABs) act in an advisory capacity to the Scientific Directors of the Institutes and to the Governing Council with respect to the full range of Institute activities. These activities include deliberation and evaluation on Institute health research priorities and strategies and implementation plans for engaging the broader research community.

IAB 2006 Renewal

CIHR has completed its fourth cycle of IAB membership renewal and has selected 48 new members to fill the recent vacancies on the Institute Advisory Boards.  During the selection process each Institute reviews the roster of candidates who submitted applications to determine which individuals would best fill the critical gaps created by turnover both in expertise and in re-balancing demographic criteria (gender, language, stage of career, geographic and institutional representation. The new members will serve 3 year terms, effective September1, 2006.
