Abstract:
Currently in its first phase (2015-22), the program awards grants for international collaborative health research involving researchers from Canada, Israel and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The aim is to advance research and discovery in the field of biomedical science; to encourage scientific collaboration between researchers and trainees in Canada and Israel; and to build capacity in LMICs by fostering scientific relations and collaborations between researchers and trainees. The survey and interviews indicate some expected outcomes and benefits are emerging: advances in scientific knowledge; development of technical skills; strengthened international partnerships; and expansion of professional networks
