Research & Funding Opportunities with DLRI
DLRI is proud to be at the forefront of research in rural medicine. We do this by conducting and supporting our own research studies, but also by helping to fund the projects being created by our many partners across the country.
Funding Opportunities Available
Every year, DLRI has funding opportunities available for our rural preceptors and researchers.
Simulation & Equipment Funding Competition
We are excited to announce that for 2021-2022, DLRI has $30,000 available from Alberta Health to support medical education training in rural and regional communities.
We are currently looking for proposals from clinics and residency training programs looking to enhance the curriculums and learning supports of their undergraduate and postgraduate learners using simulations.
