Established in 2024, a partnership between the Azrieli Research Centre of CHU Sainte-Justine and The Institute has led to the creation of the Fonds de la recherche de la Fondation J. Armand Bombardier en santé mère-enfant (“J. Armand Bombardier Foundation Research Fund in Mother and Child Health”). This initiative was made possible through a generous donation from the Fondation J. Armand Bombardier, in collaboration with the Fondation CHU Sainte-Justine and The Montreal Children's Hospital Foundation.
The competition aims to provide seed funding for innovative collaborative projects between researchers from both institutions in maternal, fetal, and child health.
This year, three outstanding projects were funded as part of the very first edition of this competition. Congratulations to the winning teams!
