TESTIMONIALS
What New Brunswickers Think
“I'm very happy to inform you that my CIHR project grant was funded in this competition for 5 years. Thank you for your continued support, collaboration, and mentorship. I thank our funding stakeholders (ResearchNB, Dal Advancement, River Phillip Foundation, HSF-NB) for their continued support in helping me strengthen the grant with sustainability and bridge funding. This would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our research team, collaborators, department, faculty, institutional leadership, and MRDO office, which supported the application and saw it through over the last three CIHR grant cycles. ”
