CIHR Local/Regional Knowledge Translation Award

The CIHR Knowledge Translation Award recognizes merit in an exceptional individual or team currently involved in a collaborative health research or development project that aims to advance and expand the understanding of knowledge translation and also leads to improved health for Canadians, more effective health services and products and a strengthened health-care system.

Congratulations to Dr. Heather McKay, Director at the Centre for Hip Health and Mobility in receiving this award.  On November 19, 2008 CIHR hosted its Seventh Annual Canadian Health Research Awards. The celebrations formally recognized Canada's best and brightest health researchers and lead supporters of health research for their outstanding contributions to improving the health of Canadians, our health care system and the knowledge-based economy.  Learn what Canada's top researchers are doing by visiting http://www.cihr.ca/e/37915.html.
