Grant: Planning and Dissemination Grant - Institute Community Support

Encouraging collaboration and building the skill sets of basic and clinical researchers in Canada is crucial to enhancing the competitiveness and impact of Canadian science on the world stage. For virologists specifically, emerging and chronic viral infections present constant challenges that require cutting edge research to identify, diagnose, treat and prevent these rapidly-spreading infections. The mid-career training workshop proposed in this grant application will bring infectious disease researchers together from across the country to exchange ideas, develop new collaborations and learn from each other. This will enable Canadian researchers to remain competitive for funding opportunities and at the forefront of scientific discovery.
