The OHTN recognizes the need to support a broader range of research, and encourages applicants from the interpretive/critical social sciences, humanities, and other fields to apply to this request for applications. The OHTN also strongly encourages applications from trainees conducting community-based research (CBR), multidisciplinary or transdisciplinary research.

Special consideration should be given to community engagement criteria as outlined in section 5 of the General Program Information and Guidelines. Community engagement is an essential component of the OHTN process. The OHTN reserves the right to refuse to review any application that does not adhere to these Guidelines for Submission.

Application Details:

OHTN Career Scientist Awards (SCI) are open to investigators who have established a reputation for excellence in research and possess a strong record of publication and success in obtaining competitive grant funding. The purpose of these awards is to enable the investigator to secure protected time to implement a program of research that would not otherwise be available. Candidates for Career Scientist Awards (SCI) must hold either a PhD or a health professional degree (or equivalent) such as medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, optometry, or nursing and must either be conducting or intending to conduct research in an Ontario hospital, university or other institutional setting.

Letters are required from three individuals with whom you have worked, and who are in a position to give an assessment of your suitability for the Career Scientist Award. These letters should be submitted electronically to the OHTN (jmajor@ohtn.on.ca) by the referee, or by mail in separate envelopes, signed over the seal by the individuals providing the testimonials. All Career Scientist Award applications must be submitted electronically via https://www.grantrequest.com/SID_920/ by the application deadline. The OHTN also requires 1 original hard copy of the application, post-marked by the application deadline, and couriered to the OHTN. Candidates who are seeking a renewal of a Career Scientist Award must submit a progress report on what has been accomplished during the prior award period.
