摘要

As Chairs of the Research Committee, we are happy to announce the 2014 Canadian Liver Foundation (CLF) Operating Grant, Graduate studentship and Summer Studentship Recipients. We would also like to thank all of the reviewers for their time and effort for their quality evaluations and selection of the recipients. The CLF is the largest nonprofit funder of liver research in Canada and has invested more than $20 million in research since it was first founded. The Foundation offers funding in three grant categories Operating grants for senior and new researchers; Graduate studentships for PhD and Masters level researchers; and Summer Studentships for undergraduate students. The funds to support these research grants have heen provided through donations from individuals and corporations (non-pharmaceutical related) across Canada, which have been made directly to the CLF to support liver research in Canada. Each of these awards is highly competitive and all grant submissions undergo a rigorous review process by the Research Committee, comprised of established liver researchers from around the world, who rate the submissions based on scientific merit and relevance to the CLF's priorities. For further information regarding these grants and how the support of CLF is an important contribution to the development and advancement of research on liver diseases, please visit the Canadian Liver Foundation website at www.liver.ca
