Summer Studentship Awards
The Foundation supports a limited number of trainees who wish to be involved in research under the mentorship of a faculty member with a primary appointment in the Dalhousie Department of Diagnostic Radiology.
Deadline: 10 business days prior to external matching competition deadline
Amount
Maximum award amount - $5,000. External funds will be matched as required (e.g., RSNA US $3,000).
Eligible Students
The student must have been enrolled full-time in a non-graduate program immediately prior to starting the studentship and must be planning to return to full-time studies in the fall.
The student must be supervised by a faculty member with a primary appointment in the Dalhousie Department of Diagnostic Radiology.
The student must apply for funding for the summer from an external funding agency (e.g., IWK, RSNA).
How to apply
Applicants are strongly encouraged to notify the Research Office of their intent to apply one month prior to the external application deadline.
The application should be submitted no less than 10 days prior to the external application deadline; this will allow the Research Office to obtain any Departmental and/or Institutional signatures required for the external application on behalf of the applicant.
Please send a copy of the original application submitted to the external agency as this will be considered as the student’s application. No additional application is required.
Applications must be submitted to radiology.research@dal.ca by 11:59pm on the due date.
Eligible Expenses
Funds may only be used to directly support the student (i.e., salary support).
Review
The applicant should forward the result of the application to the external funding agency to the Dalhousie Associate Head – Research. In order to make a recommendation, the Associate Head will consult with members of the Radiology Research Council as necessary. The Associate Head will then forward ranked recommendations to the Board Chair of the David Fraser Radiology Research Foundation within 4-6 weeks of the application due date. The Foundation reserves the right to restrict funding to the top-ranked applications.
Release of Funds
Flow of funds will be facilitated by the Dalhousie Department of Diagnostic Radiology Research Office as appropriate.
Local presentation
The recipient of the DFRRF funding will be required to present their work to the Department, before or after travel, in coordination with the Research Office.
Report
A final report must be submitted to the Dalhousie Radiology Research Office within 6 months of the end of the funding period.
Funding Acknowledgment
Funding from the Foundation must be acknowledged in all presentations and publications resulting from the project. Copies of all presentations and publications resulting from the project should be forwarded to the Dalhousie Radiology Research Office.
