Post-doctoral and clinical
research fellowships

Postdoctoral bursaries and clinical research fellowship bursaries of the SAVOY FOUNDATION are available to Canadian and
foreign candidates for research conducted in Canada.

The fellow with the highest mark will additionally receive the prestigious Steriade-Savoy award worth $1,500.

Fellows funded by the Savoy Foundation must not cumulate two major awards during the term of his fellowship. Fellowship applications are eligible only if submitted within five years of obtaining a PhD, unless the career interruption can be justified.

A research laboratory cannot submit the same project for both a salary award and a research grant.
