The Terry Fox Foundation and the Canadian Institute of Health Research (CIHR) are funding a strategic training program to train the next generation of transdisciplinary health investigators. Our program has been designed to provide graduate students and postdoctoral fellows the skills essential to conduct innovative research in Radiation Medicine with the leadership, management, collaboration, and communication proficiencies necessary to define them as the future leaders of Canada's scientific community.
The Terry Fox Foundation Strategic Initiative for Excellence in Radiation Research for the 21st Century (EIRR21) at CIHR offers unique opportunities for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows (post-PhD, or post-MD) in:
- Molecular Radiation Research
- Human Tumour Translational Studies
- Precision Radiation Therapy Delivery
- Computational Biology
- Clinical Trials
- Population-Based Health Services and Health Outcomes Research
Our goal is to recruit and train innovative radiation medicine researchers who develop and implement an integrated perspective that encompasses novel diagnostic, therapeutic, and evaluative approaches to radiation therapy in Canada. Trainees are also given the opportunity to visit other international institutions affiliated with the program via an application process.
The Terry Fox Foundation Strategic Initiative for Excellence in Radiation Research for the 21st Century (EIRR21) at CIHR is supported by a diverse and international multidisciplinary group encompassing physicians, molecular radiation biologists, physicists, and bio-informaticians.
