ICR Knowledge Translation and Exchange Research Training Award (2012/2013)

Timeline and Funding

1. Description

A commitment to knowledge translation and exchange (KTE) is at the core of the CIHR Institute of Cancer Research’s (CIHR-ICR) mission to support cancer research excellence and to apply these research findings to identify and address pressing health challenges. KTE is a dynamic and iterative process that includes the synthesis, dissemination, exchange and ethically-sound implementation of knowledge to improve the health of Canadians, provide more effective health services and products and strengthen the healthcare system. Building capacity for cancer researchers to undertake and demonstrate excellence in KTE is a focal point of ICR’s KTE strategy.

The aim of ICR’s KTE Research Training Award Program is to build research capacity by providing researchers with funding for KTE research training. The training may be acquired outside the applicant’s home institution through participation in specialized KTE courses or through training with an expert researcher, knowledge user, or research team. Experts may be from within or outside the applicant’s discipline.

Investigators conducting research that is relevant to ICR’s mission are eligible to apply for this award, worth up to $5,000.
