This research would not have been possible without our amazing collaborators Peter Imming, Paul Palme, Lea Mann, and Adrian Richter

And, of course, support from support from #SickKids, #DFG, #CFI, and #CIHR

ICYMI

seems #CIHR is a #DORA signatory - good development https://cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/51731.html

A truly poor federal budget for the foundational Canadian research landscape.

Two decades of stagnant funding have rendered Canada uncompetitive in biomedical research. Here’s why it matters, and how to fix it.

#CIHR project grant question: if you have a new figure that stems from reviewer comment, do you put it in response to review or the proposal?
#newpi

When resubmitting #CIHR grant, do you get new re-dated letters of support or just attach the previous ones? #newpi

For all of the early career researchers #ECR out there, especially in Canada and applying to #CIHR, just wanted to share my trajectory trying to get a Project Grant funded over the past several years. After giving up on a previous idea after 2 tries, finally achieved some success after 5 (!) submissions this time.

It's a long road, and at least in our case, persistence did finally pay off with some bridge funding - enough to start some work and hopefully get the full funding next time!

California is about the size of Canada per capita, and yet they receive more than 6 times the amount of funding from NIH than Canadian scientists get from @CIHR_IRSC@twitter.com We need to raise #cihr funding if you want Canada to remain in the game. Urgently! @JustinTrudeau@twitter.com @jyduclos@twitter.com https://twitter.com/deniswirtz/status/1617183565359484928

For everyone who didn’t get funded at #CIHR this round, please don’t think of it as having your grant “rejected” or that the review committee “didn’t like” the grant. The truth is a huge proportion of grants are very well regarded and clearly “fundable” but our government has not funded CIHR enough to fund all the fundable grants. As a result review panels have to try to split hairs and rank truly excellent grants relative to each other. It is a highly stochastic process. If you can, keep trying.

After going through #CIHR reviews in detail, I’m really thankful for nice reviewers and helpful comments. Most, I think I can tackle by clarifying. However, needing more prelim data is hard. It’s coming, just won’t be ready by March. What do you all do in these scenarios? #newPI

Franki says she will handle my #CIHR reviews ❤️

"Canada risks losing its future scientists to other countries because the dollar amounts of annual grants have remained stagnant for nearly 20 years.
A Canada Graduate Scholarship from one of the three federal research funding agencies is $17,500 per year for a master's student or $21,000 per year for a doctoral student. Those amounts have not changed since 2003."

I got 16k in the early 1980s from SSHRC topped up to 18 by the univ.

For the last three years I have served on the board of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Institute Advisory Board on Human Development, Child and Youth Health. I'm really proud of the institute's new strategic plan which puts children, youth & families at the heart of its activities moving forward - Better Beginnings, Vibrant Childhoods, Empowered Youth. https://bit.ly/IHDCYHplan #IHDCYH #ChildHealth #Canada #HealthResearch #CIHR
