2012 VCHRI Investigator Awards

The 2012 VCHRI Investigator Awards competition is funded by VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation through their Adopt a Young Scientist Program and Best of Health Fund.

VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation is a registered charity that raises funds for the latest, most sophisticated medical equipment, world-class research and improvements to patient care for Vancouver General Hospital, UBC Hospital, GF Strong Rehab Centre and Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute. The Foundation is pleased to partner with VCHRI and to raise money for these awards through their Adopt a Young Scientist Program and the Best of Health Fund.

There are two categories of investigator awards: Mentored Clinician Scientist Career Development Award (MCS) and Clinician Scientist Career Development Award (CS). These awards are aimed at clinician-scientists located at VGH, UBC Hospital and GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre, who want to reduce their clinical practice commitments in order to continue developing their research careers as independent investigators.
