In Appreciation of Grand Challenges ’s Peer Reviewers

On behalf of , we would like to take this opportunity to thank our peer reviewers.

The success and quality of the peer review process for Grand Challenges Canada's programs is critical in identifying Bold Ideas with Big Impact™. This is made possible by dedicated people who generously give their time and expertise to review applications. We recognize that these applications take a considerable amount of time to review. We very much appreciate the substantial effort each reviewer contributed to the review process and for graciously accepting our invitation to participate.

We would also like to thank the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), whose staff members have done an excellent job administering the independent peer reviews according to international standards of excellence.

Grand Challenges Canada values the continued support of our peer reviewers as we move into the future.
