2010‐2011 CIHR Canadian HIV Trials Network (CTN) Postdoctoral Fellowship Awards Program

Overview

The CIHR Canadian HIV Trials Network (CTN) is pleased to announce the 2010‐2011 competition for the CTN Postdoctoral Fellowship Awards Program. Fellowship awards will be available thanks to the contributions of CANFAR and OHTN. Past sponsors for the fellowship include BMS, GSK, Merck and Roche Canada. One special fellowship, in cooperation with the OHTN, will be available for a candidate living and training in Ontario. Each award is worth $50,000 plus up to $5,000 in a travel allowance on expenses claimed.

New This year we are offering one International Postdoctoral Fellowship to train a scientist who is committed to developing ad conducting HIV treatment or prevention research studies in a resource‐limited country. The amount of this award will be consistent with local rates and will include travel to semi‐annual meetings in Canada. Please refer to the specific guidelines for this fellowship.

The CTN Postdoctoral Fellowship Awards Program facilitates HIV and co‐infections research by providing funding to candidates who wish to write a clinical trial protocol, research program, and develop and run their trial.


Who is eligible

We invite applications from MDs who either have completed or are enrolled in an accredited medical residency rogram or PhDs who have completed their PhD. In addition, Biostatisticians with a PhD and working in a HIV or coinfections group are also eligible to apply for a CTN Postdoctoral Fellowship Award. Fellowship holders remain eligible for operating grants from other organizations (CIHR, CANFAR, etc.). With 75 percent of their work schedule dedicated to the CTN project, fellows also have the option to allocate some of their time to other projects. Furthermore, if the fellow's research is in collaboration with an institution in a developing country, up to 50 percent of the fellow's time may be spent at the institution.

Deadline

The application deadline for the 2010‐2011 competition is January 31, 2010.

Please note that the OHTN application and the International Postdoctoral have special requirements. Details are available online at the CTN website: www.hivnet.ubc.ca.

Please disseminate to interested parties. Questions should be directed to jackie@hivnet.ubc.ca.
