Conference Registration Information

Space at the conference venue is limited.
We recommend that you register as early as possible.

CHSPR set aside a maximum of 50 spaces for students and independent, non-profit community groups at a price of $175 for the full conference. These reserved spaces were assigned on a first-come, first-served basis as proof of eligibility was provided. .

Students must provide proof of current full-time enrollment. Representatives of community groups must provide a declaration indicating that they and their organization(s) receive no financial support from any for-profit corporations in the health care sector. (Maximum two (2) reduced fee registrations per community group.)

Possible Travel Funding Opportunity

Students and new investigators wishing to travel to the CHSPR Annual Policy Conference (particularly those presenting posters at the event) may wish to consider applying for travel support from the CIHR Institute of Health Services and Policy Research (IHSPR). Please see the Institute Community Support (ICS) Program on the IHSPR website for information about this program, which is designed to support community development, research and knowledge translation activities where the circumstances fall outside CIHR’s programs.
