The CIHR Project grant is the largest health-related investigator-initiated funding program in Canada. To support Queen's researchers interested in this funding opportunity, URS is hosting a panel discussion focused on the program. The goal of the session is to provide faculty with an opportunity to learn from former peer reviewers and successful CIHR applicants about strategies for developing strong Project applications. Panelists will offer their perspectives on successfully 'pitching' Project grants to committee members and discuss some 'lessons learned' about the competition.
