Congratulations to BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute (BCCHR) and Women’s Health Research Institute (WHRI) investigators and their teams who were awarded funding through the Canadian Institute of Health Research (CIHR) Fall 2023 Project Grant competition. Our research community received around $11 million in new research grants as principal investigators or co-investigators.
Dr. Bob McMahon, an investigator at BC Children’s Hospital, co-dean of the upcoming Mini Med School, the LEEF B.C. Chair for the Reduction of Youth Violence at Simon Fraser University, and a psychologist, wishes he’d had the opportunity to attend a similar health science education program when he was a teenager in Richmond, Virginia.
At BC Children’s, we are making discoveries that save lives and transform health care for children in our province and around the world. Our research portfolio includes basic, clinical, population, and public health research.
