Dr. Andrea Jones (Neurology) and Dr. Ana Hernandez Cordero (Respiratory Medicine) are recipients of the first ever CIHR Research Excellence, Diversity, and Independence (REDI) Early Career Transition Award.
CIHR is committed to supporting the career development of the next generation of health researchers. First launched in 2022, the CIHR Research Excellence, Diversity, and Independence (REDI) Early Career Transition Award is available to post-doctoral researchers, clinicians, and research associates from specific underrepresented groups to help them launch their research faculty careers in Canada.
The CIHR REDI program will help Canada capitalize on the full extent of its tremendous scientific talent by addressing gaps in training and support and by fostering diversity. As such, it will contribute to the creation and use of health-related knowledge to improve the health of Canadians.
