*Cette session sera interpréter en direct de l’anglais vers le français.

The Canadian Institutes of Health Research provide trainee scholarships for Masters, Doctoral, and Postdoctoral level trainees. CIHR Trainee applications require a significant time investment and months of preparation. Moreover, while the instructions are available online, there is a lot of knowledge between the lines that come from decades of experience supporting and writing award-winning applications for CIHR. Join Dr. Rebecca Pillai Riddell for a frank conversation about applying for CIHR trainee awards, with unique considerations for individuals with lived experience with marginalization. Because applications should be a collaboration between trainees and supervisors, supervisors are also encouraged to attend.
