Masters Research Award Funding Opportunity

The Canadian Foundation for Dental Hygiene Research and Education (CFDHRE) and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) jointly announce a Masters award. In comparison with other CIHR awards, this award greatly increases your chances of a successful application, since you will compete with a small number of dental hygienists, not a large group of other health professionals! This reduced pool of applicants decreases the competition and brings dental hygiene research to the forefront with new secured funding.

Value of Grant

The maximum amount awarded for a single award is up to $17,500 for a 1-year term.

Eligibility

To be eligible for consideration, applicants must be Registered Dental Hygienists, and the award must be held in Canada. This Priority Announcement will require the completion of a Relevance Form.

Application Deadline

1 February 2011
