The Western Regional Training Centre for Health Services Research (WRTC) is an innovative and collaborative program designed to support the training of applied health services researchers across disciplines, sectors, and institutions, and equip them to address the research needs of a wide range of health-care policy makers. The application deadline for full stipends ($17,850) is February 28, 2010; whereas, the application deadline for affiliate stipends ($5,000) is May 1, 2010.
Students may receive support from the WRTC for a total period of up to 2 years. To be eligible for a second year of funding, all students must submit a progress report to the WRTC. Students must be judged to have fulfilled all training requirements (training requirements found on website) to be awarded a second year of funding, and this is at the sole discretion of the WRTC Admissions Committee.
