New CIHR funding opportunity

The CIHR Institute of Gender and Health has just launched a new initiative - CIHR Sex & Gender Science Chairs.

The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support in-depth investigations in the field of sex and gender science by promoting a cadre of discipline-specific Chairs to increase visibility and drive innovation in their respective fields. The Chairs will investigate sex and/or gender as a primary research question within the investigator’s field of research, while also building capacity and sharing findings within and outside of their research communities.

This funding opportunity will support a total of 19 CIHR Sex & Gender Science Chairs in the following research areas (full details can be found on ResearchNet<https://www.researchnet-recherchenet.ca/rnr16/vwOpprtntyDtls.do?prog=3086&view=currentOpps&org=CIHR&type=EXACT&resultCount=25&sort=program&next=1&all=1&masterList=true>):
