I was still on paternity leave when I received the good news by email:
I got my FRSQ (now FRQS) Research Scholar Junior 1 !
For your information, below is the description of this career award:
“This program is designed to facilitate the recruitment of qualified researchers who would like to begin or continue an independent career in health-care research. The FRSQ hopes in this way to promote continuity in health research in Québec and ensure that high-calibre scientists are available to meet the needs of universities, hospitals and industries”
I will thus be able to start my new research program in cerebrovascular physiology. Yay!
That was the good news…
You already know that I did not get the CIHR’s grant related to that new research program. In addition, my collaborators and I recently (read: in the last two weeks) received negative answers for 5 grant applications submitted to Danone Institute, Canadian Diabetes Assocation and CIHR…
Sigh…
