RESULTS – 2025 New Initiatives Program

The CRIR, in collaboration with its partners the Habilitas Foundation and the CIUSSS West-Central Montreal, is proud to announce the awarding of $70,000 to seven CRIR research teams as part of the “New Initiatives” competition.

The CRIR extends its warmest thanks to the Habilitas Foundation, whose continued support empowers the mobilization of clinical and scientific expertise for the benefit of the population.

As a reminder, this program encourage the formulation of a project, either for drafting a research protocol on an original problem or for the start-up of a new research team working on an original problem. In either case, the problem studied emerge from a clinical setting and/or have a direct impact on the clinical setting.
