CIHR New Investigator Award

I recently received a New Investigator Salary Award in the amount of $300,000 over a term of five years by the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR). I was very fortunate, as the application was ranked 4th of 62 applications nationally, with a rating of 4.45/5.00.

The project funded is entitled: "Empirical Analysis of the Effectiveness of Patent Rights as an Incentive for Pharmaceutical Innovation".

Update: A a $50,000 Research Allowance was also provided in conjunction with the New Investigator Award.
