Partnering with the Institutes

Each CIHR institute engages with multiple stakeholders who have a vested interest in all of the diseases, conditions and health issues inherent to their mandate. Their research strategies involve early engagement and buy-in from stakeholders. Together, their common alignments and goals generate and empower their strengths as national networks.

Below is a list of institutes, their relevant partnerships contacts, and a link to the home page of each institute's web site. The institutes are in the process of building the partnership sections of their sites. Where these special sites exist, we have provided a link.
