Health Research Exchange Competition 2025

While the winners of the first edition of the competition will be announced soon, you can still submit your application for internships beginning between January 1st, 2026 and December 31, 2026 to the 2025 Health Research Exchange Competition. The competition invites trainees and early career investigators to propose collaborative research projects in the areas of cardiometabolic health, diabetes and obesity, with the goal of complementing their training path with experiential learning opportunities in another research group (i.e. in another centre located in Canada or internationally). The deadline is October 1st, 2025.

RISE-LMS temporary shutdown

To enhance our ability to manage programs and courses more effectively, while also improving overall user experience, the RISE-LMS platform will migrate to a new hosting environment. To facilitate this migration, RISE-LMS will undergo a temporary shutdown, resulting in a blackout period of approximately one month, from June 9th, 2025 to July 15th 2025. No changes to the user interface and experience are expected as we migrate RISE-LMS. You should be able to access the site like before at my.riselms.ca.
