AHFMR Polaris Award

The Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research (AHFMR) Polaris Award was established as a means to help Alberta universities recruit outstanding mid-career health researchers of exceptional international calibre to the province. Individuals supported via this program will be known as AHFMR Polaris Investigators. The goal of this Award is to accelerate research activity in key areas that are priorities for Albertans.

AHFMR will provide up to $1 million per year per award for up to ten years. This funding is to be at least matched by the institution nominating the AHFMR Polaris Investigator.
