STIHR Fellowship

Posted
Cross-posted from: ktcanada/news/stihr-fellowship-2012

We are pleased to announce funding opportunities for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows in the field of Knowledge Translation (KT). With hospitals and community agencies, we have developed a multidisciplinary, collaborative Clinical Research Initiative (KT Canada) involving colleagues from 8 universities (Calgary, Alberta, Western, Ottawa, McMaster, Toronto, Laval, Prince Edward Island) across Canada to identify and study solutions to ensure that Canadians have tools and skills necessary for KT. In June 2009, KT Canada was awarded a Strategic Training in Health Research (STIHR) grant to create an internationally-recognised national training initiative to enhance capacity in KT and KT research.

As part of the KT Canada training program, trainees will participate in a monthly e-seminar series, research methodology e-seminars, an annual summer institute, and modular distance learning e-courses. Trainees will also secure a mentor from the KT Canada network, develop and revise an annual learning and objectives profile.
