ICRH is one of the 13 virtual institutes that make up the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
The Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health (ICRH) community is made up of researchers, scientists, community groups, and individuals from around the world who share an interest in the causes, prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, support systems, and palliation for a wide range of conditions associated with the heart, lung, brain, blood and blood vessels. A highly respected Scientific Director and a small, professional staff manage ICRH day-to-day activities. A dedicated Institute Advisory Board (IAB) provides essential input and guidance into everything we do.
As one of the 13 Institutes of CIHR, the ICRH shares responsibility for achieving the principal objectives of CIHR.
ICRH supports research into the causes, mechanisms, prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, support systems, and palliation for a wide range of conditions associated with the heart, lung, brain (stroke), blood vessels, blood, [critical care, and sleep].. ICRH works towards international leadership by fostering an environment of extraordinary openness, excitement, energy, commitment and excellence in highly ethical, partnered initiatives focused on research, research training, and research translation for the circulatory and respiratory sciences and for the betterment of the health of Canadians.

Questions surrounding circulatory and respiratory health transcend all borders. This is reflected in the broad variety of workshops and symposia hosted and funded by ICRH that bring together the wide variety of partners, stakeholders and organizations that make up the ICRH community.
