CIHR's Innovation and Industry Programs are designed to help the academic community interact with Canadian companies with an interest in health research and development. The programs promote a wide variety of peer-reviewed research and training projects jointly funded by Canadian companies and CIHR. The research planned should be beneficial to both parties, while improving the quality of health of Canadians.
There are two main arms to CIHR's Innovation and Industry Programs: the CIHR/Rx&D Collaborative Research Program and the CIHR/SME (Small and Medium Enterprise) Research Program.
