The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario (HSFO) and Toronto Dominion (TD) Bank Financial Group have partnered to provide Summer Medical Student Awards for the Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM) since 2006.<\/p>\n
In March 2008, Dr. Marco Di Buono, Director of Research at the HSFO said: \u00ab\u00a0We are building research capacity in the North by keeping bright,\u00a0young minds in the region. This will help us to meet our Mission of\u00a0eliminating heart disease and stroke and reducing their impact for future generations of Northern Ontarians. It is only through effective partnerships like this, made possible in part through the support of TD Bank Financial\u00a0Group, that we will meet the needs of the entire population of Ontario.\u00a0\u00bb\u009d<\/p>\n
This award competition is open to all second year NOSM medical students who have completed their Integrated Community Experience (ICE) placement. The idea is to have students returning to the communities over the summer\u00a0months (June -July) to continue the research work from their ICE placement. To be eligible to receive the award, applicants must be working on a research project related to cardiovascular or cerebrovascular\u00a0health under the supervision of a NOSM faculty member. The applicant\u00a0must have the support of the community leadership in the rural and\/or Aboriginal community within which the applicant’s placement will be\u00a0situated.<\/p>\n
The HSF\/TD awards are remunerated at $6,000 (for the summer) with an\u00a0additional $6,000 in travel funding.<\/p>\n
