Five McMaster researchers are the recipients of Health Career Awards from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), and the National Health Research and Development Program (NHRDP). McMaster researchers claimed three of 10 available senior investigator awards.

A total of 10 Senior Investigator Awards and 15 Investigator Awards were conferred. Each of the awards is $70,000 per year for five years.

7 Stephen Walter, professor of clinical epidemiology & biostatistics

Investigator Awards recipients:
