Overview
A KRESCENT program Post-Doctoral Fellowship is an “in-training” award intended for applicants with a PhD, MD or equivalent degree. The objective is to attract and foster young investigators to initiate and/or continue training in kidney research.
An awardee may not be in receipt of another major personnel award at the same time as holding the Post-Doctoral Fellowship 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
Awards for a Post-Doctoral Fellowship 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. Applicants enrolled in programs oriented primarily toward professional specialty training are normally ineligible for the Post-Doctoral Fellowship.
Candidates with more than four years of Post-PhD research training by the competition deadline are not eligible to apply for this award. Any interruption in a candidate’s Post-PhD research training will be taken into account in determining eligibility.
Applicants with a MD degree must hold license in Canada or be enrolled in a program leading to certification in Canada at the time of applying for this award. Applicants may propose a program of research leading to a Master’s or PhD degree; however, registration in a graduate program is not a requirement.
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.
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 having been accepted by a university department or affiliated institution acceptable to the KRESCENT program.
The tenure of the Post-Doctoral Fellowship is generally held at a Canadian university or affiliated research institutions.
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 the Core Curriculum will lead to withdrawal of ongoing funding support from the KRESCENT program
Tenure
The duration of the Post-Doctoral Fellowship will be either two or three years, preference may be given to 3 year Post-Doctoral Fellowship 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% to the purpose of the award in research. 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 Post-Doctoral Fellowship salary scales (amounts in Canadian dollars):
The stipend for those holding a MD or equivalent degree is $65,000 per year.
The stipend for those holding a PhD without a MD or equivalent degree is $55,000 per year.
Payment of Stipend
Awards will be paid to the institution where the award is held in quarterly installments.
