A wave of health-related research is gaining momentum.
Studies exploring critical issues such as breast cancer, noise exposure, infertility and Alzheimer's pathology are among projects receiving $900,000 in support from the Newfoundland and Labrador Health Research Fund (NLHRF), which is provided by the provincial government.
The fund aims to help build a comprehensive multidisciplinary health research ecosystem in the province, while supporting research teams and health professionals in a variety of health-related disciplines.
An awards ceremony was held on Memorial's St. John's campus on April 30 to recognize emerging research supported through the fund, which is administered by the Faculty of Medicine. Graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and principal investigators based in the faculties of Science, Nursing and Medicine, the School of Human Kinetics and Recreation and Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services were recognized.
