As you know, CIHR funds a large number of research chairs in many areas through the Canada research chairs program, CRC, and the Canada excellence research chairs program. There are a large number of funded chairs in Canada currently.
CIHR funds very few specific research chairs because of these existing programs. We fund certain chairs in very specific areas in which we believe more capacity for research is needed and in which there are no Canada research chairs currently.
In the area of autism, there are two Canada research chairs in the field of the genetics of autism. That's the reason the research chair we will be funding will be more focused on applied research and treatment.
