Resident Research Prizes

In 1987 the program of P.S.I.F. Resident Research Prizes for Excellence in Research Papers was established. Since 1987 the prizes have been awarded annually to residents, judged by a committee at each medical school to have presented the best papers on research being carried out by residents. The prizes of $2,000 each are awarded to five residents at each of the five Ontario medical schools.

The main granting interest of the Foundation continues to be clinically related research and it is the Foundation’s wish that these prizes recognize the different disciplines or specialties, including family practice. The Foundation, of course, is mindful of the fact that excellence in research must be the first criteria in awarding these prizes.

NOTE: This program is not administered directly by the Foundation and applications or information should be obtained by contacting the Department of Postgraduate Medical Education, Faculty of Medicine, at each of the medical schools in Ontario.
