a) International Peer Review Expert Panel report
The final report of the International Peer Review Expert Panel has now been received and accepted by CIHR Governing Council. We are pleased to share it publicly today.
Launched in September 2016, the International Peer Review Expert Panel brought together an exceptional group of individuals to examine CIHR’s investigator-initiated programs. CIHR is grateful for the participation of the Panel members, and for the time and energy they devoted to this important review. CIHR is also grateful to the community members who brought forward their important perspectives and recommendations, including the participants at the January 16 and 17, 2017 meeting in Ottawa.
