2006 ICRH News

November

• ICRH Distinguished Lecturers
• RFA Pre-announcement from the Heart and Stroke Foundation
• An inspiring speech from Tony Blair, who despised science as a student, but now is seeing Britain's future in scientific terms.  For Canadian researchers, it's important to know what the international communities are working toward.  We must also get the message out to our leaders that it takes a village to transform Canada to a knowledge based economy.
• ICRH's announcement on the New Frontiers Program in the area of Clinical Imaging Research

October

• 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.

• CIHR has re-issued a Request for Applications to the Mexico-Canada Joint Health Research Program in Tuberculosis in June.  The Full Application deadline was September 15, 2006. Although the deadline has passed, we are re-opening the competition and will accept full applications by October 27, 2006.  In light of this extension, we would like to inquire if there would be any interest on your part to submit an application.
