The Nursing Research Fellowship is an "in-training" award to support nurses intending to undertake independent research programs.

Research Training Awards are intended to enable highly qualified Masters and PhD students to undertake full-time research training with a focus on preventing and/or reducing occupational illness, injury and disability in British Columbia.  Research projects must address WorkSafeBC’s current research priorities to be eligible for consideration.

There are two sets of awards available to highly qualified graduate students at the master’s and doctoral level, who are undertaking full time research on the prevention and/or treatment of occupational illness, injury and disability:

1. WorkSafeBC Research Training Awards administered through the WorkSafeBC Research Secretariat,
2. MSFHR/WorkSafeBC Research Training Awards administered by the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research (MSFHR).

Please be reminded that the research project applications whose themes are related to health research and eligible for funding under the MSFHR/WorkSafeBC Research Training Awards should be submitted to MSFHR.  (Prospective applicants are advised to check the MSFHR website for information on its competition and deadlines.) WorkSafeBC’s Research Training Awards will only consider those projects whose themes are not eligible under MSFHR/WorkSafeBC Research Training Awards but still fall under the following research priorities:

The award is provided to undertake training projects in asthma research, across two main strands: basic research, which includes investigations into the causes of asthma and disease mechanisms; and clinical research, into treatments and management of asthma. This includes the psychosocial aspects of asthma and non-drug approaches to managing asthma.
