Career Investigator Program

The MSFHR Career Investigator Program is designed to attract and foster the development of outstanding health researchers in British Columbia. The intent of the program is to allow researchers to initiate an independent research career, build a leading research program and expand their potential to make significant contributions to their field of research.

2012 Scholar Award competition

The Scholar Award is an eight-year award at an increased amount, with a rigorous review in year four that will determine if recipients will receive the final four years of funding. MSFHR funding in years seven and eight will decline to 50 per cent and 25 per cent respectively as host institutions assume responsibility for long-term funding of scholars.

Establishment grants and the senior scholar award are discontinued.
