The Henry G. Friesen International Prize in Health Research was established in 2005 by Friends of CIHR in recognition of Dr. Friesen\u2019s distinguished leadership, vision and innovative contributions to health research and health research policy.<\/p>\n

The award, announced each spring, supports an annual fall lecture or series of lectures by a worthy and accomplished speaker of international stature on topics related to the advancement of health research and its evolving contributions to society. The Lecture endeavours to reach the broadest possible audience at major centres across Canada. Additional institutional visits ensure national impact.<\/p>\n

The Prize was initiated by FCIHR and provides a cash award of $35,000 CAD with a framed Citation, and covers the Honouree\u2019s travel and hospitality costs associated with the Public Forum and the address to the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences Annual Meeting or other appropriate organizations.<\/p>\n

The Prize, when originally launched, was a collaborative project of Friends of CIHR with the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences. It is financed through a fund established for that purpose. Broadcast partner is CBC Radio One.<\/p>\n
