Conditions for granting the bursary
It is understood that the bursaries awarded to students by the Program are not aimed at supporting their current studies, but rather to allow them to
receive an added value to their training. Consequently, the bursaries will be awarded to eligible candidates who meet the following requirements :
- Enrolled in the micro program at Université Laval for the following courses. N.B. If needed, students from different universities can use the credits from this micro program for their required number of credits.
- Cellular and Molecular Biology of the Lung (3 credits), Course supervisor: Dr. Elyse Bissonnette
- Clinical Aspects of Research in Respiratory Diseases (3 credits), Course supervisor: Dr. Kevin Schwartzman
- Transverse competencies in research (3 credits), Course supervisor: Dr. Yves Berthiaume
Once the Micro program is successfully completed, the Registrar of l'Université Laval will present the student with a certificate of studies.
N.B. Certain postdoctoral fellows only have a work permit in Canada. To attend the courses, they need a study permit issued by Immigration Canada.
The granting of the bursary to eligible postdoctoral fellows may be differed by four months in order to enable them to complete the formalities required for their inclusion in the micro program.
After enrollment in the micro program, any recipient of the bursary who does not follow one of the above 3 courses will result in payment of the bursary being halted.
- Are committed to declaring any other bursary which you hold or obtain while you are a recipient of a Training Program bursary.
If you are already a recipient of another bursary from a peer review agency, example: the FRQS, CIHR, etc. at the time when we announce to you the granting of the Program bursary,
the Training Program bursary is no longer valid.
If while you have the Training Program bursary, you obtain another bursary from a peer review organization, example: the FRQS, CIHR, etc.,
the Training Program bursary is no longer valid. The payments henceforth cease.
- Are committed to participating to the workshops, when they take place.
- Are committed to supplying all of the reports requested within the program.
The following stipends will be allocated:
- Research resident, postdoctoral fellow (MD or PhD) : $45,000 / year
- Doctoral student : $20,000 / year
- Masters student : $18,000 / year
Training program bursaries will be awarded for one year only and will be granted only once during the trainee's studies.
A candidate may be admitted to the program without the bursary. However, the source of current funding must be indicated.
With the consent of his/her supervisor and on condition that the work does not interfere with his/her research activities, the grantee is allowed to have a paid employment
or another scholarship provided that the total amount of such income does not exceed 50% of the bursary granted by the Program.
