CIHR Health System Impact (HSI) Fellowship

The CIHR Health System Impact (HSI) Fellowship provides highly qualified candidates support at the doctoral and post-doctoral level to help develop BC’s health policy research talent and build capacity for the integration of policy research into decision-making.

This program aims to enhance understanding and communication between health researchers and health system decision-makers to promote the uptake of evidence-informed policy and reinforce the importance of policy-relevant research.

By partnering with CIHR on this fellowship program, Health Research BC can support PhD trainees as well as post-doctoral fellows and leverage its funds to increase the number of successful applicants based at eligible BC host institutions and placed in BC-based host partner organizations.
