Faculty of Medicine researchers receive Health Research BC awards to shape the future of health

By Qian Chow | September 13, 2023

UBC Faculty of Medicine researchers have received Michael Smith Health Research BC 2023 Scholar awards for their work to improve the health of people in British Columbia and beyond.

The Scholar program supports early-career health researchers, helping them form their own research teams, train the next generation of scientists and develop world-leading research programs in the province.

Since 2001, the program has granted more than 460 Scholar awards to develop, attract and retain B.C.’s best and brightest health researchers and support the advancement of world-class health research in B.C. To date, more than 85 per cent of Scholars are employed across B.C. where they train an average of 12 next generation researchers.
