Description:

This Fellowship is intended to provide salary support for a new Ontario investigator, who has demonstrated the ability to successfully complete high impact knowledge translation research in the area of mental health. The Fellowship?s funds, dedicated to salary support, must protect at least 50% of the Fellow?s time to conduct such research.

This program offers two options for a funding timeline for salary support: A maximum of $150,000 per year for two years; OR A maximum of $100,000 per year for three years. Please note: the award is intended to protect at least 50% of the fellow?s time to undertake research, regardless of whether the award is taken over two or three years. Even though this program is primarily intended to offer salary support to protect research time the fellow may allocate up to 35% of the total award to undertake a research project. Each sponsoring institution may submit a maximum of two (2) applications for consideration in this funding stream. The Fellow may apply to PSI?s Health Research program for an operating grant.

Application Details:

The candidate for the Fellowship must be either: within ten (10) years of their first academic appointment and have demonstrated potential for high impact research work; dedicate at least 50% of a full-time schedule to the Fellowship; a practising physician having direct patient care responsibilities and an academic appointment, thus eligible to apply for her/his own research grants as an independent investigator OR a fellow who is a practising physician having direct patient care responsibilities, with a supervisor who has an academic appointment and provide the necessary research supervision and infrastructure (including administering the grant at the sponsoring institution). A letter of support from this supervisor must be included in the application.
