Looks Like There Will Be More Grant Reviewing To Do This Summer.

Sorry
FamilyVille


This is actually very good news:

CIHR is the federal government's  'Canadian Institutes of Health Research' that funds the operational aspects of the great majority of biomedical research in this country.

When the pandemic hit the CIHR cancelled their spring 'project grant' competition that had received more than two thousand grant applications from all over the country.

That put a whole lot of academic research labs under intense financial strain and worry.

Now, however, it's game (back) on.

Which means grant reviews for me in the dog days of summer this year (usually we're done all the reviewing, and arguing and ranking for the spring competition by now).

But I'm not complaining (although, I will likely be apologizing to my family, again, come August).

Many of us in the trenches are convinced that the reversal wouldn't have happened without the efforts of this guy.
