Support for Graduate Students, Postdoctoral Researchers and Junior Faculty

One of the goals of the CHSRF is to expand the role of research on health and to develop health researchers whose work will influence policy development and application, and the daily management of health services. To support the goal, the Chair has money available to fund a limited number of post-doctoral fellows, conference presentations, research activities, and grant applications.

Proposals for funding under the Chair in CHSRF at York University must have as a central question the ways in which health services are gendered and have gendered consequences that may be different for women in different social, economic or physical locations. The content of the work must reflect the central question of how health services are gendered and have gendered consequences.

Linkage and Exchange

Since the purpose of these CHSRF Chairs is to influence health services policy and management, it must be clear from the beginning how the work will involve partners outside the university, and how the results of the work will be disseminated to policy makers and health services managers.
