Based on the generous support of the network's public, academic, and industry partners, CanVECTOR provides four main funding streams through annual competitions.
Learn more about each of the funding streams.
The purpose of the Pilot Study Competition is to build research capacity related to VTE and to enable CanVECTOR scientists and research teams to collect pilot data that will inform the conduct of larger multicentre clinical trials and increase the ability to attract external peer-reviewed funding.
The Pilot Study competition is held annually in the fall and administered by the network's Clinical Trials & Shared Platforms.
Status: We are currently accepting applications for the 2024 Pilot Study Funding Opportunity.
Deadline: January 20, 2025.
The purpose of the CanVECTOR Research Training Awards: Fellowship Stream is to provide financial support for highly qualified, promising fellows to allow them to pursue research training in thromboembolism at a Canadian centre.
The area of training must: 1) align with CanVECTOR priorities, 2) be research focused, and 3) be supervised by a CanVECTOR member
The Fellowship Awards competition is held annually in the fall and administrated by the network's Training, Mentoring, & Early Career Development Platform.
Eligible candidates: MDs that aim to become clinician scientists or clinician investigators in venous thromboembolism (VTE).
