Funding/Scholarships
Funding from CIHR
The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), in partnership with the Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research and the Nova Scotia Health Research Foundation, will provide graduate fellowships of up to $17,850 Canadian per year, per student to selected LL.M. students at the University of Alberta who are pursuing graduate research and writing in the area of health law and policy. The CIHR training grant provides support for an innovative interdisciplinary program that facilitates interactions between students and faculty in a number of different disciplines in three different institutions (University of Alberta, Dalhousie University and the University of Toronto). In addition to providing fellowship funding, the CIHR program supports interdisciplinary seminars at all three institutions and an annual colloquium for graduate students and health law teachers. CIHR-funded graduate students may also have opportunities to apply for placements or internships with organizations such as Health Canada, provincial ministries of health and health care organizations. All graduate applicants interested in the CIHR fellowship, must apply directly to the CIHR Training Program in Health Law and Policy, in addition to applying to any or all of the three universities for admission to their graduate program.
