Dr. Nancy Edwards, Scientific Director of CIHR's Institute of Population and Public Health (IPPH), will give a public presentation on funding initiatives and opportunities available for PEI researchers through the IPPH on Wednesday, September 17, at the University of Prince Edward Island.

The CIHR, or Canadian Institutes of Health Research, is Canada's major federal funding agency for health research, and is comprised of a number of institutes, one of which is the IPPH. The IPPH supports research into the complex interactions (biological, social, cultural, environmental) which determine the health of individuals, communities, and global populations; and into the application of that knowledge to improve the health of both populations and individuals.
In association with Edwards' visit, the seminar will also feature presentations by students Megan MacLellan, Family and Nutritional Sciences, and Angela Bryan, Nursing, both of whom received 2008 CIHR Health Professional Summer Research Awards.
