Clinical Research Fellowship Program (CRFP)

Applications are being solicited for the SEAMO Clinical Research Fellowship Program (CRFP) award competition.

The CRFP supports the establishment of new clinical research fellow positions by providing compensation funding to departments. CRFP awardees must devote at least 80 per cent of their time to research and must be supervised, or co-supervised, by a SEAMO physician.

Awards are for one year and are renewable once. The value of an award is $50K per annum and a Department may, at its discretion, supplement the awards.

Endowed Scholarship and Education Fund

The fund supports projects of up to $15,000. The projects must be intended to add value to the continuum of medical education offered through Queen’s School of Medicine e.g. undergraduate medical education, postgraduate training programs or continuing professional development. Please be aware that individual CTAQ members are limited to a maximum of two successful applications.

Established Researcher / Educational Scholar Fund (ER/ESF)

The Established Researcher/Educational Scholar Fund (ER/ESF) supports SEAMO’s objectives to build an academy of SEAMO physician researchers, educational leaders and scholars with a critical mass sufficient to enable the continuous implementation of best principles and leading practices in research and medical education and innovation.

SEAMO-funded established researchers are eligible to receive a maximum of $50,000 per year, for a three-year period to support the development and/or enhancement of research.
