Small Project Grants

Purpose

To assist graduates in the Health Sciences to initiate research studies or complete research projects which form part of higher qualification requirements (these awards are not intended for the existing programs of full-time PhD students);
To fund a study that is complete in itself and not merely part of a major study.
