BC Environmental and Occupational Health Research Network

CIHR’s Science to Business (S2B) program is designed to encourage individuals with PhDs in a health related field to pursue an MBA. It is anticipated that successful applicants to the program will go on to apply their management and scientific expertise by pursuing careers in fields that support commercialization and innovation in Canada such as management, regulatory affairs, finance, research, technology transfer, and public policy. The goal of this program is to develop a cadre of professionals knowledgeable in health research and management, and to foster an entrepreneurial culture within and around the research community.
CIHR’s S2B award is administered separately from MBA admissions processes at business schools and applying for or receiving the S2B scholarship will not necessarily facilitate acceptance into an MBA program.
