How to partner with CIHR

Partnering with CIHR starts with a conversation. Together, we can determine how to partner in a way that meets our shared goals and objectives. This may include:

• launching a new funding opportunity in collaboration with CIHR
• partnering through one of CIHR's initiatives

Partnership Playbook - An Overview to Partnering on CIHR’s Funding Opportunities
While partnering with CIHR can take many forms, the Partnership Playbook focuses on competition partnerships – how partners can collaborate with CIHR to co-fund health research. This document takes partners through the principles that guide CIHR's engagement approach, our key parameters for partnering, and the steps involved in the overall competition partnership process.
