2011 - 2012 Scientific Review Committees

home < about the MHRC > committees      

 

It would be impossible to conduct our Grants and Awards competition without the volunteer time received from researchers who serve on our Scientific Review Committees. The Manitoba Health Research Council has six panels that evaluate the applications for funding.

Review Committee members, including the chair, generally serve for a term of three years.
