Des chercheurs de L’Hôpital d’Ottawa obtiennent 16 subventions de recherche d’une valeur de plus de 8 M$ des Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada


le 3 février 2025

Seize nouveaux projets financés par les Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada (IRSC) dans le cadre de leurs plus récents concours de subventions de fonctionnement sont menés par des chercheurs de L’Hôpital d’Ottawa.

Ces projets, d’une valeur supérieure à 8 millions de dollars, feront progresser la science et permettront d’améliorer la santé dans divers domaines comme les AVC, l’endométriose, le cancer de l’ovaire, le cancer du poumon, les cellules tueuses naturelles, l’engagement des patients, la schizophrénie, les thromboses associées au cancer, notamment les thromboses lors d’une chirurgie oncologique, la préadaptation, l’aldostéronisme primaire, les maladies rénales chroniques, les lésions rénales, les troubles neurodéveloppementaux, la consommation de tabac pendant la grossesse et les soins virtuels pour le traitement du cancer du sein.

Nos chercheurs codirigent également des subventions administrées par d’autres établissements d’un montant d’au moins 3 millions de dollars.

« Les subventions des IRSC demeurent essentielles à la recherche biomédicale au Canada. L’obtention d’un tel financement incarne la créativité, le professionnalisme et la collaboration de nos chercheurs et de toutes leurs équipes. Ces projets novateurs sont la pierre angulaire des avancées révolutionnaires dans le domaine des sciences biomédicales et nous permettent de concrétiser aujourd’hui les soins de demain, ici, à Ottawa et dans le monde entier », a déclaré la Dre Rebecca Auer, vice-présidente exécutive, Recherche et Innovation, à L’Hôpital d’Ottawa ainsi que de PDG et directrice scientifique de l’Institut de recherche de l’Hôpital d’Ottawa et professeure à l’Université d’Ottawa.

L’Institut de recherche de l’Hôpital d’Ottawa a obtenu un taux de succès de 27 % lors de ce concours, la moyenne nationale se situant à 21 %. L’Hôpital d’Ottawa se classe actuellement au 4e rang des hôpitaux financés par les IRSC au Canada.

Ces projets bénéficient de l’appui des ressources fondamentales en recherche à L’Hôpital d’Ottawa, comme le Centre de méthodologie d’Ottawa.
