*Contribute to the 2011 International Review of CIHR *
As part of its commitment to accountability and transparency toward
Canadians, CIHR's Governing Council is commissioning an International
Review of CIHR. This comprehensive review process will commence in
February 2011 with reviews of CIHR's Institutes and will conclude in March
2011 with a review of CIHR as a whole. The purpose of the review will be
to obtain rigorous, authoritative and objective advice on how effectively
CIHR is fulfilling its mandate.
The review will be conducted by a prestigious panel of international
experts, chaired by Dr. Elias Zerhouni, former Director of the US National
Institutes of Health. Various sources of evidence will inform the
International Review Panel deliberations, including internal assessments,
interviews with key stakeholders, and open and targeted surveys.
To voice your views and opinions on CIHR's performance, and to comment on
areas of improvement, we invite you to complete an *online open submission
questionnaire* to be accessible from our website starting *October 27th,
2010*. The website will be open until midnight on *November 23, 2010*,
Eastern Time.

In addition to the above questionnaire, CIHR is conducting a
comprehensive survey to assess its core business practices. This survey
will be sent to CIHR applicants, grantees, peer reviewers, Vice
Presidents and Directors of Research. Results from both surveys will be
provided to the International Review Panel. Your participation in either
one of these two surveys is critical for the International Review process.
For more information about the 2011 International Review, please visit our

Sincerely,
Alain Beaudet, M.D., Ph.D.
President of CIHR
