Description: |
Clinician-scientists are health professionals who pursue a career that includes both patient care and
research. These individuals play a critical role in shaping research projects that respond to
hypotheses and questions that arise in practice settings and also in translating the findings of
research into clinical practice. Clinician-scientists are individuals who can link diabetes research to
prevention and management of this disease.This award provides a contribution to the salary of the awardee in the amount of $55,000 per year for up to five years. The Canadian Diabetes Association Clinician Scientist Award is intended to support
the development and retention of highly qualified clinician-scientists in the early stages of their
careers in diabetes research in Canada. Health care clinicians, including but not limited to
physicians, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, and social workers that have demonstrated an ability
to engage and are pursuing a career in diabetes research will be encouraged to apply for this
award. The purpose of this award
is to assist these individuals by securing the majority of their time (greater than 75%) for
research, thereby enabling them to establish themselves as respected independent investigators
in diabetes research in Canada. |
