CanVECTOR Research Training Awards (fellowship, studentship) provide salary support for highly qualified, promising trainees or fellows to allow them to pursue research training in thromboembolism at a Canadian centre. The network and its partners have committed additional funding to provide operating and travel funding to trainees who are doing research training and conduct this under the supervision or mentorship of CanVECTOR members. These funds are intended to support the trainee’s research endeavours and provide travel funds for academic experiences that will enhance their research training.
Inquiries about these awards can be directed to Lauren Lewis by email: info@canvector.ca.
The network has dedicated funding to support individual trainees’ research activities. These funds are intended to help trainees to achieve their research objectives. To this end, the funds may be used for start-up operating funds for a research project or preliminary/pilot work to strengthen their research, including services, materials, or supplies. This funding is not intended to provide salary support for trainees and the requested funds must not overlap with funding that’s available from other sources. Research start-up funding is not intended to provide support for travel relating to any academic experiences (e.g. presentation of research work at a scientific conference).
