Scholarship awards: a rich harvest in 2021
There is no shortage of emerging talent at IRCM. Several of them have been rewarded by scholarships awarded by generous donors and by our Foundation thanks to the IRCM Challenge. The Foundation is proud to be able to contribute to the training of a new generation of high-level researchers whose work at the IRCM contributes fully to the scientific advances made in the Institute's labs.

Dr. André Veillette, first recipient of the Outreach Award from the Clinical Research Institute of Montreal
The evening also saw the presentation of the new IRCM Outreach Award. The winner, Dr. André Veillette, was presented with the award by host and science journalist Sophie-Andrée Blondin.
This award recognizes the sustained efforts of a scientist to popularize, explain and clarify crucial scientific issues that have an impact on the health of citizens, particularly through the media.
‘’Since the beginning of the pandemic, Dr. Veillette has never ceased to share his knowledge and passion for health research with the public, exchanging daily with journalists of all levels and underlining the importance of health research in our lives," said Dr. Jean-François Côté, Scientific Director and Acting President of the IRCM.
Bravo, Dr. Veillette! Bravo to all of you!
