Canadian Student Health Research Forum
if anyone believes that s/he is eligible to apply for this award ASAP. Thank you, Basia
The 2014 Canadian Student Health Research Forum (CSHRF) will be held June 10-12, 2014 in Winnipeg. The aim of the CSHRF is to provide a venue for the networking, research exposure and recognition of Canada’s most promising research trainees in the health sciences.
We expect that we will be invited to nominate our top 5% of PhD students in health sciences for participation in the forum, with a limited number of them receiving approximately $1,000 in the form of a travel award from CIHR. Travel funding is also available from UBC via the Graduate Student Travel Fund: https://www.grad.ubc.ca/awards/graduate-student-travel-fund
Upon receiving the official competition announcement, we expect the following to be the competition details (please note that the Graduate Studies website will not be updated for this competition until we have the official details):
“The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies will collect nominations on behalf of UBC to forward to the CSHRF Coordinator. Graduate programs are invited to nominate their top PhD students in health sciences to the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Graduate programs may nominate up to 5% of their PhD students in health sciences (for instance, if a program has 40 PhD students in health sciences, it could submit up to 2 nominees). Appropriate selection criteria are to be determined by the graduate programs. Please note that the symposium theme rotates from year to year and should not bias student selection.
