Immunologists in the Immunodeficiency Canada Network are eligible to receive a grant of up to $5,000 Canadian. These funds are specifically restricted for physician education (conferences, rounds, lectures, symposiums, meetings and events) or for the development of a process for the diagnosis and testing of patients, (a proposal must be submitted for review). Funding is not available for actual testing costs. For physician education expenses such as conference facilities, audio-visual, printed material, coffee breaks, lunches, etc. can be funded under this program. Expenses for travel, hotel accommodations, honoraria, and personnel are discouraged.
Applicants will be advised of approval within 60 days from the date of submission through a letter outlining conditions for the grant and requirements of a short final report. Subsequent grants will only be considered after a summary report for the current activity has been received.
