Survey to facilitate research working groups

The Windsor Cancer Research Group (WCRG) is calling on campus researchers of all disciplines to participate in a five-minute survey which aims at bringing researchers together to facilitate collaborative grant submissions.

The survey is the first step in identifying areas of expertise and organizing productive working group clusters focused around strategically selected topics aligning with the Canadian Institute for Health Research (CIHR) signature initiatives (CIHR).

“These research clusters are meant to bring together ideas and expertise from diverse backgrounds,” says WCRG Assistant Director, Karen Metcalfe.

“WCRG’s first goal will be to organize a few multi-disciplinary group projects that will be submitted for funding through the CIHR project competition in January 2016.”

Following this submission, WCRG intends to continue seeking future funding opportunities, and based on survey results, will invite participating researchers to meetings of particular interest to them.

Responses to the survey are requested by July 31.
