Postdoctoral Fellowship Awards Program
The CTN+ Postdoctoral Fellows Program offers prospective researchers the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the clinical research setting, under supervision of experienced Canadian researchers.
Building the Next Generation of Researchers
The Program facilitates research in HIV, hepatitis C, and other STBBIs and related health conditions by providing funding to candidates who wish to write a trial protocol, research program, and develop and run their own trial. Former CTN+ postdoctoral fellows from the last three decades include some of Canada’s leading HIV clinical investigators today.
Program Details
Each award is worth $70,000 plus up to $5,000 in travel allowance on expenses claimed. The fellowships provide career support and are renewable for up to two years.
