Post-Doctoral Fellowships in the Ethics of Health Research & Policy
-- Application Information
The training program, situated within the University
of British Columbia W. Maurice Young Centre for Applied Ethics and Dalhousie
University
Department of Bioethics and Department
of Philosophy, has supported Post-Doctoral Fellowships
in a multi-year training program, the Ethics of Health Research
and Policy, to train people
in new skills
and areas related to research ethics and health policy.
Sponsored by the Canadian Institutes for Health Research, the Michael
Smith Health Research Foundation and the Nova Scotia Health Research
Foundation, the Ethics of Health Research and Policy Training Program
has offered a limited number of Post-Doctoral Fellowships providing
a maximum of $40,000 (CDN) per year, less the value of other stipend-related
awards.
The objective of the program has been to train the
next generation of ethicists for public and private sector policy-making
bodies,
research institutions
and organizations, and universities. Through this program, fellows
have worked across disciplines engaged in health research
and policy, bringing an in-depth understanding of alternative ways
to frame ethical issues and the relevance of context to practical
decision-making.
The program is built around high-quality mentoring.
In addition to completing routine training components, successful
applicants
work closely with one or more of the program staff. Fellows
have access to regular seminars and activities in relevant areas.
Our intention has been to attract outstanding
applicants interested in training in the ethics of health research
and policy.
(Note: Due to the program's focus on training Canadian
bioethicists, foreign placements have been limited to applicants
demonstrating exceptional merit.)
The program has been open to applicants with a solid academic disciplinary
background in health care, science, social sciences, or humanities.
A strong emphasis is placed on academic rigor, methodological
competence in interdisciplinary research and communications skills.
