What is the Bridge Program?

The Bridge Program is a multidisciplinary graduate fellowship program whose goal is to develop creative evidence-based strategies to solve public, environmental and occupational health problems.The focus is on prevention of disease and injury (rather than medical care), using approaches that link the public health, engineering and policy realms.The Program provides funding to graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, visiting scholars and professionals, and brings them together with faculty mentors in an interactive environment.

The program is sponsored by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.
