International
CIHR recognizes that the creation of cutting-edge health knowledge and its translation into real world applications cannot take place in isolation from developments in other countries. Without effective international cooperation we would have limited access to break-through scientific knowledge generated by researchers in other countries; the quality of the scientific knowledge generated locally would decline; and our industries would be unable to obtain innovative technological information needed to maintain their competitive edge. Furthermore, the future of our health system depends on having a critical mass of health scientists with the international knowledge and intercultural skills necessary to meet globalization's challenges.
CIHR is committed to ensuring that the key actors that fuel competitiveness and innovation are more internationally connected, by offering opportunities for international training and collaborative research.
