Overview
The KRESCENT program Allied Health Doctoral Award is an “in-training” award intended for applicants taking academic preparation in the area of allied health kidney research. This award is directed towards preparing allied health professionals who intend to undertake independent research programs. Applicants must be enrolled in a PhD program at a Canadian academic institution.
An awardee may not be in receipt of another major personnel award at the same time as holding the Doctoral Award from the KRESCENT program. However, the KRESCENT program will consider approving supplemental funding if a minor stipend has been provided from a local or provincial funding agency.
Eligibility
Allied Health Doctoral Awards are tenable under the supervision of investigators holding an academic appointment and in areas of investigation where it is clear that the research has direct relevance to kidney disease. The training program must include involvement in actual research, and not only courses in research methods.
Applications for training in clinical research will be considered only if it is clear from the application that at least 80% of the applicant’s time and effort will be devoted to the research project(s) and clinical activities upon which the research project(s) is immediately dependent.
Allied Health Professions include but are not limited to, nurses, psychologists, social workers, dialysis technicians, dieticians, physiotherapists, pharmacists and occupational therapists.
Each application is considered to be a joint submission by the applicant and the proposed supervisor. The research plan should be written in full consultation and agreement between the supervisor and the applicant.
Conditions of Support
Each applicant must show evidence of full-time admission to an approved Canadian academic institution which must be forwarded to the KRESCENT program before any funds are released.
The awardee must participate and successfully complete the KRESCENT Core Curriculum (for details see KRESCENT Curriculum document). Failure to participate in and successfully complete the required elements of Core Curriculum will lead to withdrawal of ongoing funding support from the KRESCENT program
Tenure
The duration of the Doctoral Award will be either two or three years, preference may be given to 3 year Doctoral Award applications.
The award will normally commence on July 1 and will run for the eligible duration.
During tenure of the award the awardee shall devote 80% of their time to research which is the purpose of the award. The awardee may, with the approval of the supervisor, engage in and receive remuneration for departmental activities, including undergraduate teaching, that contribute to his/her development as a researcher. However, these activities must not interfere with the primary purpose of the award. Notification of any consideration for extra remuneration should be forwarded to the Chair of the Program Steering Committee of the KRESCENT program.
An award may be terminated at any time for good cause by the awardee, the sponsoring institution or the KRESCENT program.
Stipend
The amount of the award is determined by the following Doctoral Award salary scales (amounts in Canadian dollars):
0 - 2 years full time work experience as an Allied Health Professional $35,000
2 + years of full time work experience as an Allied Health Professional $40,000
Payment of Stipend
Awards will be paid to the institution, where the award is held, in quarterly installments.
