Grants and Awards

AHFMR Senior Scholar

Senior Scholars must have excellent track records of independent research. They are more senior than Scholars and have usually been previously supported via salary support awards (e.g. as an AHFMR Scholar, CIHR New Investigator, or equivalent). At time of implementation, candidates for a Senior Scholar award will typically have five to ten years experience as independent investigators and are expected to have attained an associate professor level faculty appointment.

Candidates for the Senior Scholar award must possess a M.D., D.D.S., D.V.M., Ph.D. or equivalent qualification. Furthermore, they must be eligible to hold a full-time faculty appointment with the sponsoring institution.

Please see the detailed guidelines for additional information on the independent investigator programs.
