chs/shire fellowship program

the chs/shire fellowship program for nurses and allied health care professionals was created to engage hemophilia program professionals/graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 from the disciplines of nursing, physiotherapy, social work and other related allied health disciplines in research focused on improving services and quality of life for people and families whose lives are affected by bleeding disorders.

this program will offer one or more fellowships not exceeding total funding of $20,000. 

depending upon the number and quality of applications, funding for different amounts may be possible, as is the offering of more than one fellowship, within the allotted total budget stated above.  

the major portion of each grant would be to cover the research time for the successful candidate(s). a small amount can be devoted to project expenses. applicants may send their proposals for any one of the following types of fellowships or a combination of these:

• ·         nursing fellowship
• ·         physiotherapy fellowship
• ·         social work fellowship

multidisciplinary collaboration

collaboration with multidisciplinary care providers and/or between two (2) or more hemophilia centres is accepted and encouraged. collaboration efforts may include, for example, social work, physical therapy and genetics. inter-regional applications will also be considered.

applications and deadline

a letter of intent should be submitted to the canadian hemophilia society by november 15, 2016. the letter, with a maximum of two pages, should identify the researcher, the organization and include a summary description of the intended area of research.

the chs peer review committee will invite a limited number of candidates to submit a more detailed proposal by january 9, 2017 in order to make a final selection. fellowships will be offered for a one-year period to begin in april 2017.

purpose

with the spark program, ontario genomics seeks to provide investigators with catalytic funding to enable them to initiate novel, high-impact, and innovative early-stage projects in the genomic sciences. the focus of this year’s competition is microbiomes.

the intent of the spark 2016 competition is to catalyze new research directions and support innovative genomics-based projects that have the potential to advance microbiome research, and improve our knowledge and understanding of this important field.  to maximize the potential benefits for ontario and increase the competitiveness of ontario research and its life sciences sector, the spark 2016: microbiome competition will be open to research projects involving human, plant, livestock and the environment including soil and water. successful proposal(s) will enhance our understanding of how microbial communities contribute to health and disease in humans, plants and livestock and also how these communities can influence their environment. the outcomes should generate knowledge which, in the long-term, could be transferred to those who have the ability to translate and use it, ultimately resulting in useful applications in areas such as health care, food production, and environmental remediation.

funding

ontario genomics will provide individual awards of up to $25,000 to be used for short duration (6-12 months) research projects. ontario genomics may fund up to four (4) research projects per year.
