Canadian Child Health Clinician Scientist Program (CCHCSP)
CFRI partners with CCHCSP to support highly qualified child health clinician candidates (physicians and other child health care practitioners trained in a child health clinical discipline) to develop their knowledge and skills for a career as an independent scientist in child health research.

Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research (MSFHR)
CFRI partners with MSFHR to fund graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. In 2009, CFRI and the Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) partnered with the MSFHR to fund four postdoctoral fellowships.
NeuroDevNet
CFRI and NeuroDevNet are partnering to provide funding opportunities for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows for training in research related to brain development and neurodevelopmental disorders. NeuroDevNet is a newly established Network of Centres of Excellence in Canada, and its vision is to accelerate the pace of understanding the causes of developmental neurological deficits through research, training, and community outreach initiatives.

UBC MD/PhD Program
CFRI has contributed to the UBC MD/PhD Program since 2007 to provide funding for MD/PhD student stipends. The primary mission of the UBC MD/PhD Program is to train and nurture future clinician-scientists who excel both in clinical medicine and basic sciences. The PhD component of the Program is coordinated in conjunction with various host departments and research programs within the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Faculty of Medicine.
