Description
The Prix Galien Canada - Innovative Product Award will be presented to a drug, launched at least 12 months ago and no more than 60 months (5 years) ago, that has made the most significant overall contribution to patient care in Canada, according to the Jury of Prix Galien Canada.
The product must:
- be considered a "break-through" rather than a derivative of an already existing agent;
- have made a most significant overall contribution to patient care in Canada in terms of efficacy, safety, benefits, and innovation; and,
- have a major impact on standards of care.
Eligibility
The Prix Galien is open to any person or team who has been involved for at least the last five years in research leading, or making a substantial contribution to, the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of disease. Candidates from academia, health care institutions, research centers and industry are eligible.
For the purpose of Prix Galien Canada, the Jury will use the definition of "drug" in the Food and Drug Act. "Drug" includes any substance or mixture of substances manufactured, sold or represented for use in:
- The diagnosis, treatment, mitigation or prevention of a disease, a disorder, an abnormal physical state or the symptoms thereof, in humans and animals;
- Restoring, correcting or modifying organic functions in humans or animals;
- Disinfection in premises in which food is manufactured, prepared, or kept. To be considered, the drug product must bear a Drug Identification Number (DIN).
The Health Research Foundation (HRF), appointed organizer of the award, guarantees that all information will be held in strict confidentiality and will be available only to parties involved in the adjudication of the award.
Prize
The recipient of this distinguished award will receive a medal and a framed written recognition.

How to Apply
The Vice-President (Research & Innovation) encourages nominations for this prestigious award, and will serve as nominator for those nominees recommended by the Honours and Awards Advisory Committee. If you wish to nominate a colleague or to be considered for VPR nomination:
- We recommend discussing your interest in this award with your College Research Manager and Associate Dean (Research).
- Complete the Expression of Interest document.
- Send the completed Expression of Interest document and a CV to ailsakay@uoguelph.ca and copy your College Research Manager by the internal deadline.
Career interruptions due to parental leave, family care, extended illness, or community responsibilities will not negatively impact the committee’s assessment of a candidate’s research productivity. These will be taken into consideration when EOIs are assessed.
If your nomination will be submitted by a different nominee, and therefore does not require the Vice-President's endorsement, please submit a complete nomination and signed OR-5 to research.services@uoguelph.ca by the external deadline.
