CVRI - Cote Biomedical Research Studentship

 

The Cardiovascular Research Institute (CVRI) is pleased to announce an open studentship competition to support graduate students (masters or PhD students) and medical residents conducting cardiovascular-related research. 

Two awards are being offered and will be awarded based on scientific merit and relevance to building knowledge, innovation or advancement of clinical practice that ultimately may reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease. Depending on the number and quality of applications received, all efforts will be made to award one studentship to an individual working on a biomedical (pillar 1) project and one to a clinical/applied health (pillar 2, 3 or 4) project.  

These awards are made possible through the generous support of the Kenneth and Reta Cote and Joyce Cote Biomedical Research Endowment.

Eligibility:

  • Applicants, their supervisor and any co-supervisors must be members of the CVRI at the time of application (CVRI Membership Form). 
  • Applicants must be registered in a full-time, thesis-based graduate program (Masters or PhD) in a health-related discipline or medical residency at the University of Alberta.
  • Students must be actively working on the proposed research.

Note, MSc students beyond their 2nd year and PhD students beyond their 5th year (at the time of application) are not eligible to apply (excluding official leaves of absence).
