Presentation Award Program for Quebec Scientific Event
Created in April 2012 by the Fonds de Recherche du Québec – secteur Santé (FRQ), the mission of the CardioMetabolic Health, Diabetes and Obesity Research Network is to pursue the development of research into metabolic and cardiovascular health, diabetes and obesity, and to transfer and mobilize knowledge to promote sustainable health among Quebecers.
The network is launching its Presentation Award Program for students, residents and postdoctoral fellows for the year 2025 – 2026. The program invites researchers who are regular members of the network and who are organizing a scientific event in Quebec to seek financial support so as to offer presentation awards to students, residents and postdoctoral fellows who are presenting their research related to cardiometabolic health, diabetes and/or obesity in the context of the scientific event. Fifteen presentation award grants will be offered among all applications received for each of the two annual competitions. The eligibility criteria and method of evaluation are described in the guide. Events demonstrating excellent scientific quality, major outreach opportunities and a structuring effect on research within the network will be funded up to $500 per presentation award. There is no maximum number of awards that can be requested per scientific event. However, the evaluation committee reserves the right to determine the final number of awards allocated for the event.
Scientific events for which award(s) will be granted will have to take place within the period specified for each competition.
Solicitations deadlines are:
1) February 10 of each year for scientific events taking place in the following months of April to October.
2) September 10 of each year for events taking place in the following months of November to March.
Women, Aboriginal people, visible minorities, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities and people from the 2SLBGTQIA+ community are encouraged to apply for funding. For evaluation purposes, we strive to recruit a diverse committee that reflects the profiles of the applicants and ensure an evaluation process that takes into account the particular situations of the applicants, including atypical trajectories.
Applications submitted late, incomplete or do not meet the eligibility criteria will not be evaluated.
