Since 2013, the CIHR-funded CDTRP - Canadian Donation and Transplantation Research Program has been increasing organ and tissue donation and improving the health of Canadians living with a transplant.

Have you or a loved one been impacted by dementia?
To support healthier brain aging, the Government of Canada, through CIHR and funding partners, are investing $44.8M in dementia research. This funding supports:
✅ 16 new research teams and an operations centre
✅ national research training platform
✅ 1 knowledge mobilization hub
This will build capacity, mobilize research results and help ensure a healthier future for all Canadians.

Imagine being prescribed music as pain medication. New research from McGill University suggests this could become a reality one day.
Drs. Roy and Palmer found that music matching the tempo of a patient’s internal rhythm has the potential to relieve chronic pain. Music as medicine is a low-cost intervention with no negative side effects.
This discovery could be a big relief for the approximately 20% of Canadians experiencing chronic pain.

A new discovery could help people stay stronger, longer! 🦴💪❤️
With support from CIHR, scientists found that treatments originally meant for bones can also help repair muscles and protect the heart.
In lab studies, it reversed muscle damage and prevented heart problems in mice with muscular dystrophy.
This could lead to new treatments that help older adults and people with muscle-wasting diseases stay stronger, more independent, and less at risk of falls and frailty.

Congratulations to the Chair of CIHR’s Governing Council, Dr. Marie-Josée Hébert, who was recently appointed a Chevalier in the Order of Academic Palms, one of France’s oldest and most distinguished civilian honours, for her exceptional leadership, commitment to excellence, and contributions in the field of transplantation.
This honour recognizes distinguished academics in France and abroad who contribute to the influence of the French language and the expansion of French culture throughout the world.
Bravo, Dr. Hébert!
