As part of the Conference, CIHR will be hosting a roundtable luncheon on Tuesday, October 5, 2004 featuring several of Canada's leading health researchers. The aim of the luncheon is to provide science journalists with the opportunity to meet health researchers' face-to face to talk about their research, discoveries, new concepts and the role they play in improving the health of Canadians.
Through the Health Research and Communication Award (HRCA) Initiative, CIHR is committed to increasing the number of Canadian writers engaged in communicating health research. CIHR will support the attendance of six past and current HRCA awardees to the conference. HRCA awardees who wish to attend will be asked to submit a three page application detailing; their experience with the HRCA program; the opportunities that resulted from their participation; and examples of their commitment to Knowledge Translation.
Please check back to see the profiles of the researchers who will be attending as special guest speakers at our luncheon.
Researcher's profiles will be added as confirmations are received.
