PRESS RELEASE: Exceptional funding for research at the CRIR!

Exceptional funding of more than $2 million for rehabilitation research at the CRIR

 

Montreal, June 27, 2023,

Six principal investigators, members of the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation of Greater Montreal (CRIR) of the Institut universitaire sur la réadaptation en déficience physique de Montréal (IURDPM), have been awarded more than $2 million by the LRH Foundation to fund three new innovative rehabilitation research programs to be carried out primarily at the Gingras Lindsay Rehabilitation Institute of Montreal (IRGLM) of the CIUSSS du Centre-Sud-de-l’Île-de-Montréal.

The CRIR is a unique research center. It is distinguished by the excellence, breadth, and diversity of its research in rehabilitation, as well as through its interdisciplinary, intersectoral and knowledge mobilization initiatives. These initiatives have a powerful impact in the clinical, scientific, public and community sectors.

Congratulations to all parties involved in these new research programs: our researchers who make CRIR blossom, the partner institutions (Institut universitaire sur la réadaptation en déficience physique de Montréal (IURDPM) of CIUSSS du Centre-Sud-de-l’Île-de-Montréal, Jewish Rehabilitation Hospital (JRH) of CISSS de Laval, Lethbridge-Layton-Mackay Rehabilitation Center (LLMRC) of CIUSSS West-Central Montreal), the 6 participating universities (Université de Montréal (UdeM), McGill University (McGill), Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), Université de Sherbrooke, Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR), École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS), as well as industrial, community, clinical and research partners.
