[@julielajoie13 @julielajoie13]

Most of the trainees are being paid by PI CIHR grant in Canada. However, in the two latest competition awarded grant were cut by 23% across board. This makes it incredibly difficult to do the research and be able to increase the stipend for the trainee.

[@julielajoie13 @julielajoie13]

Scholarships for graduate trainees went up in the last budget and it is time!! But without a significant increase in operating funding there is gonna be an important gap between trainees. We all recognize it is essential to increase stipend for trainees but funding need to match.

[Lee-Hwa Tai, PhD @Tai_ImmunoLab]

Dear @PierrePoilievre: The Trudeau govt only addressed the tip of the iceberg in supporting biomedical research. While increased student stipends are vital, a greater impact for all lies in boosting CIHR project grants. See my @Nature article for more: https://t.co/ejbjXyRU8i

[Lee-Hwa Tai, PhD @Tai_ImmunoLab]

The funding disparity for research trainees is even worse in Quebec, where students face greater financial struggles, as highlighted in @LP_LaPresse.

🚨 New correspondence in Nature! 🚨I argue for bigger increases to CIHR investigator-initiated grants, because bigger operating budgets = better stipends for research trainees across 🇨🇦.

@spash039 @oncopole @USherbrooke @_CRCHUS Sorry for my late response. For now, we are hosting only Quebec trainees. This is because our funding sources are provincial. Depending on interest, I am open to collaborations with other Canadian institutes.
