Visiting Scientist Awards - March 2007 Competition
The AHFMR Visiting Scientist Program brings excellent Alberta-based scientists together with expertise not currently available in provincial institutions. The program's objective is to promote the development of collaborative research and knowledge exchange between the applicant and the host scientist with the expectation of long-term research benefits as a result.
The AHFMR Visiting Scientist grant is a peer-reviewed, competitive award. The Foundation received a total of four applications for the March 2007 competition.
