OMOD/CIHR Biomedical and Rehabilitation Research Award

Established in 2002 through a partnership with the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the OMOD/CIHR Biomedical and Rehabilitation Research Award supports a new or significant contribution to science or medicine in the alleviation or prevention of a disabling condition.

Eligible research for the fellowship relates to the alleviation of physical disabilities, particularly work with the intended result of enabling adults with physical disabilities to participate more fully in community life.

Two inaugural awards were presented in 2004, each consisting of an annual stipend of $38,000, plus a $3,500 research allowance per annum, for the maximum three-year period of support.

The awards are financed in part through the Rt. Hon. Paul Martin Sr. Biomedical and Rehabilitation Research Endowment Fund.
