Canadian Blood Services Graduate Fellowship Program provides stipend support for young investigators who want to initiate or continue training in the field of transfusion science. Graduate students undertaking full-time research training in a Canadian institution are invited to apply. Students may be supported for a maximum of four years, with a requirement for successful renewal halfway through the fellowship. Proposed projects for the Graduate Fellowship Program must be aligned with one or more of the research priorities identified below. Proposals that are not relevant to any of these priorities will not be considered for funding. Research Priorities include: Promoting appropriate blood product utilization; Ensuring an adequate blood product supply; Minimizing the adverse effects of blood product transfusion; and Optimizing blood product quality. Applicants must be engaged in full-time training in research in a graduate program at a Canadian university leading to a Ph.D. or combined health professional Ph.D. program. Priority will be given to applicants enrolled in a Ph.D. program. However, applications from trainees enrolled in a Master's program will be considered, if, at their institution, it is not possible to register directly in the Ph.D. stream and they intend to transfer to the Ph.D. program. The Fellowship is open to Canadians and citizens of other countries. Applicants must be enrolled in a training program that includes actual involvement in research and not only courses in research methods. Letters of support from three referees are required.
