Resident Trainee 91ÒùĸÊÓƵ Grant (RTRG)

Important Links

Overview

The purpose of the RTRG award is to provide resources and support for eligible trainees to gain experience in the components of completing a research grant from start to finish, including developing research skills and tools that may be helpful in the future.

Applicants can apply for up to $500.00 (plus up to $780.00 for biostatistical support) to support their research. This award may be held for a period not exceeding the trainee’s actual program end date. It is expected that all awardees will complete the research project as outlined in the approved application, under the guidance of their mentor(s).

Applications must be submitted in the first year of the General Pediatric Residency Program and prior to the onset of the research. By submitting applications before research projects are underway, applicants can incorporate feedback from external reviewers, which enhances the methodological quality and scientific rigor of their proposed research. Only in exceptional circumstances will an application be considered eligible for funding if it is submitted after the project has started. Mentors are expected to play an active and engaged role in the development of the application and implementation of the research project.

  • Be registered in the General Pediatrics residency program at the 91ÒùĸÊÓƵ.
