Call for CC SCN Undergraduate Summer Studentship Applications Due

Notification of Awards 

• BACKGROUND 
   

  The Critical Care Strategic Clinical Network Summer Studentship Award (CC SCN-SSA) is designed to foster research interest in critical care medicine and related disciplines among students at the undergraduate level of study. It is the CC SCN goal that this experience will stimulate an interest in critical care research or clinical practice in critical care medicine (i.e., nurse, physician, allied health professional) and related disciplines (e.g., public health, social sciences, etc.). The award will fund $7,500 per student over 4 months between May and August 2021. 

  This CC SCN-SSA competition will serve to build research capacity within various domains of critical care medicine (e.g., medicine, nursing, pediatric critical care medicine, health services delivery, social determinants of health, pandemic planning, allied health professionals). Through the results of the proposed research projects conducted by the students, this initiative will improve the quality of critical care medicine care delivery within the Health Quality Council of Alberta’s six domains of quality: appropriateness, accessibility, effectiveness, efficiency, safety, and acceptability.
