Here is a provisional agenda:
 
1. An update on ongoing challenges at CIHR
2. Finding funding beyond CIHR and SSHRC
3. Indirect approaches to funding
4. Open session to discuss challenges and solutions 
 
We want to hear about your challenges and successes to provide you with our best support. Please email nserc.research@lakeheadu.ca if you would like to attend.  Feel free to suggest topics that you would like to discuss.
