Peter Gilgan Canada Gairdner Momentum Awards

The Peter Gilgan Canada Gairdner Momentum Award annually recognizes two mid-career investigators (typically 10-15 years past their first independent research appointment) working in Canada who in their last six active years have produced exceptional scientific research contributions with continued potential for impact on human health. The Gairdner Foundation welcomes submissions from all areas of health research including but not limited to discovery, clinical, global health, and population science and translational research.

Successful nominees will have produced a focused, cohesive body of scientific research which has made a significant impact in health research. Consideration will also be given to a nominee’s contributions to the growth and enrichment of the Canadian research community. 

 

Submissions can be made by the nominee, nominator, or institution.  

Quality nominations are essential to the evaluation process for this award. Nominations are valid only for the year in which they are submitted and must be resubmitted in subsequent years to remain under consideration. Two awards are granted annually, and each award is intended for a single recipient.
