Health Data Research Network (HDRN) Canada is now accepting applications for its Pragmatic Trials Training Program.
This 2-year, virtual, pan-Canadian program will provide training to advanced learners across 3 streams: (1) future trial leaders (faculty-level trainees), (2) postdoctoral fellows, and (3) highly qualified personnel employed in the public and private sectors. Funding will be made available to successful applicants across all 3 streams to facilitate their engagement in the program.
Applications will be accepted until Friday, December 22, 2023. The program will commence on April 15, 2024.
There will be an emphasis on experiential learning for future trial leaders and postdoctoral fellows in the program through the development of a pragmatic trial protocol. Moreover, the program is aiming for highly qualified personnel employed by HDRN Canada member organizations to be involved, when possible, in a project-based learning experience. These projects will further HDRN Canada’s ability to support pragmatic trials research in the long term. (Note, however, that the highly qualified personnel stream is not restricted to applicants from HDRN Canada.)
