ICES brings together the best and brightest scientific talent. Many of our scientists are internationally recognized in their fields and receive national and international awards and recognition for their important work.
2011: Presented to Dr. Linda McGillis Hall by the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN). This award recognizes the individual accomplishments of a faculty member of CASN who demonstrates sustained research activity in a substantive area of relevance to nursing practice, education, and research or policy development, along with the ability to succeed in obtaining intramural and extramural funding for research activities.
2011 – 2014: Awarded to Dr. Liz Darling by CIHR for her research project "The impact of the implementation of the Canadian Paediatric Society's guidelines on the detection, management and prevention of hyperbilirubinemia: a population health perspective"

2011 – 2012: Awarded to Dr. Robert Fowler for "Comparing Intensity of Care Received at the End of Life in the United States and Canada" which looked to quantify differences in intensity and costs of end-of-life care for Americans and Canadians over age 65. His measures included hospital admissions, number of physicians seen, admission to the intensive care unit, provision of mechanical ventilation, and receipt of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. He conducted a population-based cohort study of all decedents in the U.S. and Canada, using a retrospective, 2-year look-back design between 2003 and 2011.
2010: Awarded to Dr. Maria Velez. This award recognizes emerging researchers in reproductive health research.
2010: Dr. Linda McGillis Hall was inducted as a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (FCAHS) on September 30, 2010. The CAHS recognizes individuals of great accomplishment and achievement in the academic health sciences in Canada.
2010: Awarded to Dr. Louise Rose for effective care and health outcomes.
