The CIHR Training Grant in Health Law, Ethics
and Policy is a collaborative venture between the
University of Toronto, Dalhousie, Université de Sherbrooke, and
the University of Alberta. Funding for the program is received
from the CIHR (Institute of Health Services and Policy
Research). One of our key objectives is to address the shortage
of health law and policy researchers trained to embrace a
variety of disciplines. Under the training program, graduate
students will be exposed to multi-disciplinary learning
opportunities through a range of innovative programs.
Benefits of the program include:
-
A CIHR Training Stipend ($17,500) for those
applying for a funded position (some conditions apply)
-
A Boot Camp where outgoing graduate students
organize the sessions designed for incoming students each
September. The Boot Camp focuses on informing new students
about the theoretical principles and practical realities of
research ethics, knowledge translation, and
multidisciplinary approaches to research
-
An Annual Colloquium where CIHR Fellows
gather to present their work before an audience of leading
health law academics and government decision-makers
-
An annual Skills Workshop where CIHR Fellows
are given training in research grant writing, pedagogical
skills, and research methodologies.
-
An biennial National Health Law Conference
where students are exposed to important research and
research methodologies, and given the chance to network with
each other, senior scholars and decision-makers
-
The Health Law, Ethics and Policy Seminar
Series where students can interact with local, national,
international scholars and policy makers and discuss issues
related to the intersection of law with health care and
related ethical and social issues
-
Health Law and Policy Courses
-
Support on research projects from a variety
of trans-disciplinary mentors
-
Opportunities to apply for internships
within Health Canada, provincial ministries of health, and a
