CHSRF/CIHR Health
Services Chair
A total of twelve chairs
were established through support from the CHSRF (50%), CIHR
(40%) and regional co-sponsors (10%). Seven award holders had health services orientation while the other five came from the
nursing research community. These ten-year awards provided full
salary support and an annual allowance to seed education, mentoring
and research. CHSRF/CIHR Chair Awards focused on capacity building,
bringing new researchers to the point where they can independently
contribute to applied health services and policy research issues.
