The CIHR Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health (CIHR-ICRH) and the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) have partnered on an annual Mid-Career Lecturer Award in Cardiovascular Sciences in recognition of an individual's outstanding contribution to the advancement of cardiovascular sciences in Canada at the mid-point of their career. The award will be presented to the selected candidate at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress (CCC) – October 24-27, 2024 in Vancouver, where the recipient will be invited to participate in a session as part of the scientific program. CCC is the largest gathering of cardiovascular and allied health professionals in Canada.

The selected candidate will be an outstanding mid-career investigator (at the time of application, has assumed their independent research position 5-15 years ago) who has conducted the majority of their research in Canada and contributed significantly to the advancement of cardiovascular sciences. For the 2024 competition only, the eligibility time frame is adjusted by 1 year to account for productivity losses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, the eligibility time frame is from 6-16 years ago. For all competitions, we will account for all disclosed leaves (i.e. parental, medical, and family responsibility leave) when calculating career stage.
