Canadian Institutes of Health Research Partnership Award

The CIHR Partnership Award, established in 2002, recognizes partnerships between organizations that exemplify excellence by bringing health research communities together to create innovative approaches to research, develop research agendas that are responsive to the health needs of Canadians and/or accelerate the translation of knowledge for the benefit of Canadians.

The emphasis of the award is on innovative cross-sectoral partnerships between organizations that promote excellence.

CIHR will present the Partnership Award at a special event of the winning organization where they will receive a $25,000 award in the form of a one-year research grant, to be used by the awardee(s) to advance the research or knowledge translation activities of the partnership. Winners agree to be highlighted on the CIHR website and in communication materials. In addition, the partnership may be written up as a "best practice" for the CIHR partnership casebook.

Deadline for nominations is April 1, 2010.
