RESULTS – 2023-2024 New Initiatives Program

Ten excellent projects were financed by the 2023-2024 New Initiatives Program!

 

       

 

A total of $100,000 was awarded to the winning teams by CRIR and its partners, Fonds de l’Institut Nazareth et Louis-Braille (CISSS de la Montérégie-Centre) and Fondation Habilitas (CIUSSS West-Central Montreal).

Our sincere thanks to our two partners!

In either case, the problem studied emerge from a clinical setting and/or have a direct impact on the clinical setting.
