The Canadian Association of Gastroenterology, in partnership with Takeda, Shire, Warner Chilcott and Aptalis, are pleased to announce the availability of 10, 2012 Resident Research Training Awards (Takeda-5, Shire-2, Warner Chilcott-1, Aptalis-2). These awards are designed to encourage research during clinical training and provide a foundation for research activities after gastroenterology training has been completed. The long-term goal is to stimulate research interests (basic science or clinical) in gastroenterology residents and also promote full-time faculty involvement in the research training of residents. The value of the award is $5,000. The award is to support the research project and is not a stipend.

The 2012 competition is now closed. The 2013 competition will open September 2012 with a deadline for applications being January 31st.
