Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Chair
The science of sex and gender aims to better understand the interaction between biological and social influences and the effects of this interaction on health and disease. The purpose of this funding, Chair in Sex and Gender Science, is to support in-depth research in sex and gender science through a series of chairs in different disciplines to increase the visibility of the field and stimulate innovation. Chairholders will investigate sex and/or gender as a primary research question in their respective fields, while working to build capacity and communicate their findings within and beyond their research communities.
Chair of the Fonds de recherche du Québec - Société et culture
The creation of the Quebec Youth Research Network Chair (Network Chair) is part of the 2016-2021 Youth Action Strategy and is intended to be a structuring measure of government action in favour of young people. The work of the Network Chair will allow for a scientific, multidisciplinary and intersectoral look at the problems and issues described in the Quebec Youth Policy 2030. Access to relevant and up-to-date data concerning youth is fundamental to ensure the sustained exercise of governmental responsibility towards them. To this end, the sharing and transfer of knowledge must be promoted, on the one hand, to better inform the decision-making process and, on the other hand, to strengthen the action of the government and its partners with respect to youth.
