Financial Support
Every graduate student in Dentistry should have financial support if he or she does not have independent funds. This support can be acquired from a variety of sources such as fellowships and studentships, lab demonstratorships, or from the research supervisor’s grant funds.
Fellowship and studentship competitions are held annually and are awarded on the basis of academic merit. Most of the deadlines for the federal and provincial agencies are in the fall for tenure in the following year. The major funding agencies include CIHR, NSERC, FCAR, and FRSQ. It is important that all prospective students who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada explore all sources of aid available through public and private agencies.
Additional information about funding can be obtained from the Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies website.
International students admitted to McGill University must have financial support before coming to Montreal. Prospective students are urged to make every effort to secure fundsfrom sources other than McGill. Opportunities should be explored through established agencies in their own countries, as well as agencies that fund international students to travel abroad through competitions.
For example, the Commonwealth Scholarship Plan provides opportunities for students from Commonwealth countries to study in other Commonwealth countries. The World University Service of Canada (WUSC) provides funding through competition for students from many European countries. Possible funding from McGill includes the Graduate Faculty Awards competition and the McGill/CIDA competition for students from developing countries.

| Description | The International Dentist Advanced Placement Program (IDAPP ) is a special university program held over five months. After successful completion of this program students are fully integrated into the third year of our four year Doctor of Dental Surgery Program (DDS), leading to the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery. The program is intended for graduates of non-accredited dental programs, i.e. educational programs that have not been recognized by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada (CDAC) or the American Dental Association Commission on Dental Accreditation. Its purpose is to prepare students to take the examinations of the National Dental Examining Board of Canada (NDEB), the same examinations which graduates of accredited dental programs must take to obtain certification. Upon successful completion of the International Dentist Advanced Placement Program and the NDEB examinations, the candidate will be eligible for licensure/registration as a Dentist in all provinces in Canada. | ||

Summer Research Training Program (SRTP) for Medical Students
NEW: The Schulich Research Opportunities Program (SROP) has been merged into the SRTP. Students can submit an SRTP application for a one or two summer project.
Overview
The goal of the Summer Research Training Program (SRTP) is to encourage medical students to pursue their interests in medical research. SRTP enables first and second year medical students in Schulich Medicine & Dentistry to work under the supervision of a faculty member on a research project during the summer months, for one or two summers.
Program Objectives
- To allow medical students to gain exposure to research.
- To encourage students to develop a scholarly approach to the practice of medicine.
- To assist in choosing a career path after graduation.
Schedule
- December 6, 2021 – Project proposals due into Research Office from potential supervisors
- December 13, 2021 – List of SRTP Projects made available to the Medicine Class of 2024.
- December 2021 / January 2022 – Interested students review the available projects submitted by faculty members and contact potential supervisors.
- January 24, 2022 – Deadline for submission of completed application from students and supervisors.
- March 2022 – Students and supervisors are informed of the funding decisions.
Duration
Students participate in SRTP for ten weeks in the summer(s). SRTP requires a one or two summer commitment from both the student and supervisor. The project duration (one summer or two summers) must be specified in the project description and in the completed application. PLEASE NOTE: a one summer project cannot be extended to two summers at a later date.
Remuneration
Schulich Medicine & Dentistry provides funds for one or two summers, in the form of a stipend, to support STRP participants. Participants will be receive a stipend of $4,500 per summer. Participants are expected to work full-time for 10 weeks on their project.
Eligibility
Students enrolled in the first year of the MD program at Schulich Medicine & Dentistry may apply for SRTP. This includes students at both the London and Windsor sites. Students enrolled in Schulich Medicine & Dentistry’s MD/PhD program or students concurrently enrolled in a master’s program are not eligible for SRTP, nor are students who already hold a PhD. Students who already hold a master’s degree and wish to participate in SRTP may not work in the same laboratory where they received their graduate training.
Awards
Participants may be eligible for the following awards:
- Dr. L. DeWitt Wilcox Award is given to a student who has demonstrated initiative, drive, awareness of research and the ability to persevere in completing an SRTP project. The award is intended to recognize the student’s outstanding performance in research by permitting the student to present this research at the National Student Research Forum in Galveston, Texas.
- Dr. Glen S. Wither Award for Research is given for outstanding participation in SRTP.
- Horace and Clarice Wankel Memorial Award for Cardiovascular Research is awarded to a student demonstrating special interest in some area of research in cardiovascular diseases.
Conditions
Each year, approximately 25-40 students enter the first year of the program. If the number of applications exceeds the available funds, the SRTP Committee reserves the right to take into account the balance of disciplines and of types of projects in selecting participants. Students may only submit one SRTP application.
Participants are required to:
- Complete a research project, over one or two summers, under the supervision of a faculty member in Schulich Medicine & Dentistry.
- Present their project at the SRTP Seminar Series during the first summer and second summer (if applicable).
- Attend SRTP Seminar Series held in the morning of approximately six of the ten weeks during the summer.
- Submit report at the end of the first summer. For students in a project of two summers duration, this will be an interim report. For students in a project of one summer duration, this will be a final report.
- Submit a final report at the end of the second summer (if applicable) in competition for one of the three available prizes.
- Depending on the source of funds, participants may be required to provide additional information to a funding agency.
Program Funding
The Summer Research Training Program is supported with funds from sources including:
- Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry
- Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry clinical departments
- Lawson Health Research Institute
- Mach-Gaensslen Foundation of Canada
- Margaret A. McCullough Heart Research Fund
- Underwood Scholarship in Diabetes
Global Research Opportunities in Health (GROH)
International projects can be submitted through the Global Research Opportunities in Health (GROH) Program.
- GROH is part of the SRTP and the guidelines, procedure and deadline are the same.
- GROH projects will be expected to take place in a low to middle income country. Projects within Canada will be considered if they are based on research that is concerned with health matters that are without borders and involve marginalized or at-risk populations (eg. prison health, health of those experiencing homelessness, aboriginal health, refugee health, etc.). If you are unsure if a country and/or project meets GROH’s requirements, please email srtop-srtp@schulich.uwo.ca.
- GROH applications will be adjudicated using the same RIGOROUS criteria that is used for all SRTP applications.
- Virtual research placement may be an option for GROH applications in the event that mobility is not possible for the summer 2022. Please identify in your GROH application if your research project can be conducted virtually.
- All the successful GROH applicants will be required to contact the Schulich International Office (international@schulich.uwo.ca) to arrange for the mandatory pre-departure training, medical risk assessment, mask fitting, out-of-country follow-up plan and other logistics pertaining to the research placement.
