Training and Career Development at IHDCYH

Career Pathway

A key strategy for delivering on IHDCYH's Capacity Building priority is taking a holistic approach to supporting diverse career pathways in the fields of human development, child and youth health research. IHDCYH integrates training, mentorship, and career development into its funding initiatives and collaborates with CIHR and other Institutes to support researchers and trainees at all career stages.
