CIHR’s Health Research Training Strategy aims to equip research trainees so that they emerge from their training as scientific, professional, or organizational leaders within and beyond the health research enterprise. Generating Research Leaders of tomorrow is a key objective for CIHR.
The Canada Postdoctoral Research Award (CPRA) provides support for highly qualified applicants in all areas of health research at the postdoctoral degree or post-health professional degree stages to add to their experience by engaging in health research either in Canada or outside of Canada.
The objective of the Canada Postdoctoral Research Award (CPRA) program is to foster the development of research skills and assist in the training of highly qualified personnel by supporting outstanding graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, recognizing and empowering the next generation of outstanding research trainees and innovators, knowledge workers, creative thinkers and researchers. It aims to do so by providing funding and flexibility needed to contribute to building world-class research capacity and drive Canada’s prosperity and competitiveness.
