Friedman Award for Scholars in Health

The Friedman Award for Scholars in Health is open to any UBC graduate student or medical resident studying in the area of health. ‘Health’ is interpreted very broadly, and includes health promotion and disease prevention, mental health research, laboratory sciences related to medicine or health, public health, health services research, or any area intended to impact human health.  Applicants do not need to be studying in a health-related degree to be eligible to apply.

Awards of up to $50,000 each will be granted for 6 to 12 months of study outside of Western Canada.  Friedman Scholars are expected to travel to other areas of Canada and the world to seek new perspectives, initiate new collaborations with experts in their fields and be exposed to different cultures.  The award amount will be at the discretion of the adjudication committee.

The 19th Annual Crossroads Interdisciplinary Health Research Conference is happening on March 10-11, 2023 at the Halifax Central Library and Dalhousie University’s Collaborative Health Education Building (CHEB) in Halifax, NS. Crossroads is a student-led health research conference hosted by the School of Health and Human Performance Graduate Student Society. Over the course of the conference, two panel discussions will be held, covering the digitalization of health and breaking down systemic barriers for marginalized populations. There will also be the opportunity to participate in one of two interactive workshops on photovoice/photo elicitation research methods and trauma awareness. On the second day of the conference, students will have the opportunity to present their research in either an oral or poster format.

 

We will be accepting abstracts for poster and oral presentations from students working on any health-related project, at any stage (e.g., proposal, preliminary analysis, completed), and affiliated with any department (e.g., health professions, business, engineering, social sciences, etc.). Registration for the conference will open on January 3, 2023 and abstract submissions will close on January 6, 2023. For more information, or to submit an abstract, please visit our website: https://dalcrossroads.com/call-for-abstracts/submit-an-abstract/
