Standout in Atlantic Canada: Dr. Robin Urquhart Receives $950,000+ from CIHR Foundation Grant Competition

Dr. Robin Urquhart

Congratulations to Dr. Robin Urquhart, NSHA/Dalhousie Department of Surgery, for receiving funding from CIHR’s 2016-2017 Foundation Grant Competition. 

CIHR’s mandate is to “excel, according to internationally accepted standards of scientific excellence, in the creation of new knowledge and its translation into improved health for Canadians, more effective health services and products and a strengthened Canadian health care system.” Dr. Urquhart will be using her $950,000+ award for her research program involving: “Follow-up care of cancer survivors: optimizing survivor and health system outcomes”. 

The Foundation Grant Competition saw 600 applications submitted across Canada, 14 of which were from Nova Scotia. Only 76 across Canada were funded and Dr. Urquhart’s was the only funded application in Atlantic Canada. Each application went through a 3 stage review process where only successful applicants advanced to the subsequent stage.

Dr. Urquhart is an Assistant Professor and Ramia Scientist in the Department of Surgery, with cross-appointments in the Department of Community Health and Epidemiology and Division of Medical Education. She is also a Senior Scientist with the Beatrice Hunter Cancer Research Institute and an Affiliate Scientist at NSHA.

NSHA Research Services has been proud to support and work with Robin-
Congratulations to Robin and her team!
