CIHR is committed to building research capacity and training the next generation of health researchers in Canada. As part of this commitment, each year the CIHR – Institute for Health Services and Policy Research (IHSPR) recognizes leaders in the health services and policy research community. From trainees, through to senior investigators, we celebrate researchers who are making a difference in our field.
The CIHR-IHSPR Article of the Year Award is intended to recognize published research in a peer-reviewed journal that has significantly contributed to the advancement of the field of health services and policy research in Canada.
Value: $ 10,000 for one grant over the duration of one year.
Requirements: IHSPR will consider articles related to:
Research that demonstrates a clear impact or potential impact on policy or practice (e.g., decision maker uptake, change management for improved practice);
or
Research that breaks ground in the way health services or policy research is conducted (e.g., innovations in methodology, novel theory or application of theory, new approaches to existing problems).
