Results of the SYNAPSE - CIHR/STIHR Youth Mentorship Competition

The SYNAPSE CIHR/STIHR Youth Mentorship Initiative is opened to all Strategic Training Initiative in Health Research (STIHR) and provides funds to facilitate the connection between STIHR trainees/researchers and Canadian youth. The Program's primary target audience is intermediate and high school students as they are most receptive to in-depth mentorship experiences and post-secondary career advice.

The goal of the program is to connect Canada's next generation of researchers with today's leaders in health research. Through collaborative partnerships between the research and science awareness communities, STIHR trainees and researchers mentor youth students throughout their community.
