Strategic Training Fellow Travel Fund:
Deadline date:  Applications will be accepted throughout the year.

 

All Strategic Training Fellows in the CPHR Training Program are encouraged to participate in professional and international scientific conferences and workshops, particularly those events which are specifically related to their area of research. The CPHR Training Program believes that participation in such events is an important element in the training of population health researchers. The Strategic Training Fellow Travel Fund has been established to assist trainees with costs incurred to attend conferences and scientific meetings.

 

Applications to this fund are made, in writing, to the CPHR Training Program Coordinator at the University of Saskatchewan and must include the following information:

• Conference information (title, location, dates);

• Paper/abstract title;

• Format of presentation;

• Amount requested (include an estimated budget);

• What the travel funds will be used for; and

• How the funds will benefit the STF's research.

A copy of the paper or abstract which has been accepted for presentation and a copy of the confirmation that the paper or abstract has been accepted must accompany the application for funding.

 

For more detailed information, see the STF Travel Fund Guidelines 2008 and STF Travel Fund Terms of Reference 2008.

 

 

CPHR Internship Program/Award:

 

The CPHR Internship Program is a funding pool created for STFs who wish to locate their research within a Community-Based Organization (CBO). Internships will be used to cover STFs' costs in conducting research (e.g., for equipment or supplies; costs associated with collecting or analyzing data; dissemination of research results with CBO staff and community members). At the end of the internship program the STF is required to complete a final report in collaboration with the CBO (guidelines are provided).

Funding for this internship program will only be granted for proposals that are not in process or completed. If required, each applicant is responsible for obtaining ethics approval for the internship which must occur before the internship commences.

The application (the original and five copies) must be submitted to the CPHR Training Program Coordinator. Applications are free form and should conform to the following standards:

• Use standard letter-quality type (e.g., Times New Roman, 12-point font) and maintain page margins of one inch on standard 8 1/2" x 11' paper;
• Single spacing may be used but at no more than 6 lines per inch; and
• Copy double-sided wherever possible.

Submit the application to:

CPHR Training Program Coordinator
SPHERU, University of Saskatchewan
