Its mandate is to “excel, according to internationally accepted standards of scientific excellence, in the creation of new knowledge and its translation into improved health for Canadians, more effective health services and products and a strengthened Canadian health-care system.” For the past 10 years, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) has supported better health and health care for Canadians. As the Government of Canada’s health research investment agency, CIHR enables the creation of evidence-based knowledge and its transformation into improved treatments, prevention and diagnoses, new products and services, and a stronger, patient-oriented health-care system. Composed of 13 internationally recognized Institutes, CIHR supports more than 14,100 health researchers and trainees across Canada.

  • Public Access Policies for Science and Technology Funding Ag
    Comments of the Association of Research Libraries Concerning “Public Access Policies for Science and Technology Funding Agencies across the Federal Government” Submitted to the Office of Science and Technology Policy, January 15, 2010 Summary Thank you for the opportunity to comment on “Public Access Policies for Science and Technology Funding Agencies Across the Federal Government.” Enhancing public access to federally funded research results has been and continues to be a priority for the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and its member libraries. We very much appreciate the interest and focus of the Office of Science and Technology Policy in stimulating a public discussion regarding the benefits of enhancing public access to federally funded research. ARL supports enhanced access to federally funded research resources because such policies are integrally tied to and support the mission of higher education and scholarship. ARL believes that extending public access policies to federally funded research to other science and technology agencies will be a central component of President Obama’s transparency and open Government initiative. We fully support such an extension. ARL is an association of 124 research libraries in North America. These libraries directly serve 4.2 million students and faculty and spend $1.3 billion annually on information resources of which 45% (in 2008) is spent of electronic resources. New investments in cyber and information infrastructure are critical components to advancing science and education and spurring innovation. Reports such as the National Academies report, Rising Above the Gathering Storm: Energizing and Employing America for a Brighter Economic Future, reflect the pressing need to ensure an environment that is conducive to enabling the United States to meet the global challenges of the 21st century.

For some maybe little and for other’s so much. Thank you Christopher for replaying to my email and opening me the door of your lab! It was just a start of an incredible journey that led me where I am now, and that will mark my next trails to run. So many people I need to mention and say thanks for their unconditional help and support. Enza thank you for accepting me as your student and for being patient with me. I will never forget how you would always tell me to think why I am doing things.

  • Stem Cell Strategy by Establishing the Till & Mcculloch Medicines of Tomorrow Innovation Fund
    A Pre-Budget Submission to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance To Implement the Canadian Stem Cell Strategy By Establishing The Till & McCulloch Medicines of Tomorrow Innovation Fund James Price President & CEO Canadian Stem Cell Foundation February 9, 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Stem cells represent the biggest innovation in medicine of the last half century. These cells have the power to cure many diseases for which current medical practice can only provide symptomatic relief and chronic care – a reality that is straining health care systems in Canada and in countries around the globe. Stem cells are a hallmark of Canadian innovation. They were first discovered in Canada and Canada is one of the top three countries in stem cell R&D, with our scientists ranking among the best in the world. Recent investments, such as the Government’s $20-million commitment to establish a cell-manufacturing facility in Toronto and the $114-million Medicine By Design grant for the University of Toronto, will help Canada move forward. However, major commitments by competitor jurisdictions – most notably California, with its investment of $3 billion, and Japan, with an investment of $1 billion in stem cells and regenerative medicine -- challenge Canada’s leadership in this sector of the knowledge economy. Moreover, Canada lacks a national plan to succeed in the coming cell therapy and regenerative medicine boom. The Canadian Stem Cell Strategy -- created in consultation with 150 scientists, medical doctors, leaders from major health charities, industry experts, investors and philanthropists – will: • deliver up to 10 new curative therapies within 10 years; • transform health care and ease the strain on the health system; and • attract private investment and generate 12,000 jobs for Canadians.

  • A Re-Envisioning of Health Research in Canada
    AFMC Position Paper on Research A Re-Envisioning of Health Research in Canada June 30, 2016 AFMC Position Paper – A Re-Envisioning of Health Research in Canada EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The AFMC represents the country’s 17 Faculties of Medicine and is the national voice for academic medicine in Canada. The overarching goals of the AFMC are to provide better health care for Canadians through better health research and to realize sustained economic benefits for the country by fostering innovation. The AFMC has identified the following five strategic priorities for the future of health research in Canada. 1. Training and development of future leaders in health research As an organization dedicated to advancing medical education and life-long learning, we believe that the next generation of health professionals will need research training to become innovative and compete in knowledge-based global economies. In order to promote these goals, AFMC supports the following: • Restoration of integrated MD-PhD and MD-MPH professional training programs ($2.6m/year). • Establishment of a national training strategy for clinician scientists. • Encouragement and support for graduate students committed to a career in research. 2. Research without boundaries The AFMC through its Faculties of Medicine is ideally positioned to provide leadership in the entire spectrum of health research. In order to keep Canada at the vanguard of health research, the AFMC supports the following: a) Operational or strategic funding programs that address the full economic costs of research. b) Strategic coordination of funding programs to ensure better return on investment and to sharpen the competitive edge of Canadian researchers on the global stage.

  • News Release
    NEWS RELEASE: June 14, 2005 Health care leaders create Canada’s first national health advisory body The Canadian Academy of Health Sciences will give Government and the public comprehensive expertise and advice on health issues EDMONTON - When the President of the United States wants advice on a public health issue, he calls the United States’ National Academies. When the Prime Minister of Great Britain wants to seek similar counsel, he usually turns to the Royal Society of Britain. But when the Prime Minister of Canada wants similar advice, who does he call? Well, that’s not always entirely clear, given the more narrowly defined mandates of many Canadian organizations. Now, however, owing to a recent initiative by a group of leading health care leaders and researchers, the Prime Minister will be able to call the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (CAHS), recently created to: • Develop informed, strategic assessments on urgent health issues; • Inform public policy on these issues; • Enhance Canada’s readiness to deal with global health issues; and, • Provide a recognized and authoritative Canadian health science voice internationally.
