CAHR Announces Exciting Studentship Opportunities for Canadian Research Trainees
2009-07-03The Canadian Association of HIV Research (CAHR) invites Canadian training programs that have been funded through the CIHR’s STIHR initiative to nominate candidates for the following awards:
- The CAHR Studentship in HIV Basic Research,
- The CAHR Studentship in HIV Clinical Research,
- The CAHR Studentship in HIV Social Science Research,
- The CAHR Studentship in HIV Epidemiology and Population Health Research.
The purpose of the CAHR Research Studentship Program is to support the training of new scientists who are committed to developing and conducting HIV research in Canada. It will do this by providing students with ‘hands on’ experience in research that is relevant to CAHR’s mission and goals. This new initiative will be conducted in conjunction with existing National Training Programs that have been funded through the CIHR’s STIHR initiative. This will ensure that the CAHR-supported trainees will receive all the benefits of the comprehensive training environments provided by these nationally peer-reviewed, innovative training centres.
The value of each award is $20,000 (CAD) for one year, with the possibility of reapplying for a second year. The deadline for receiving applications is October 23, 2009. (Late or incomplete applications cannot be considered.) The recipients of the awards will be announced on December 1.
