Population Health Research Institute is offering a paid studentship for up to two students to undertake a research project in peace through health. One of these studentships will be available to Canadian students, and the other to students from other countries (preferably from a war zone), to pursue a project in peace through health.



The final product of the student's research should include a report for publication in the Peace through Health website. The amount available for each studentship is up to CDN$2,500. This amount could be used to support travel or living expenses when the student is away or can be used towards the costs of the project.

The project must be undertaken within 6 months of the award and is expected to last 4 to 6 weeks. A report is to be completed within 6 months of completion of the project.

The final form of the student's research should both contribute to the development of the career of the student and in advancing the peace through health discipline. Possibilities include research work in a war-affected country; design of a research project; a systematic review article; or a critical analysis of a relevant area. Possible topics include but are not limited to: peace-through-health; health impact of war and armed conflict; small arms/light weapons; health impact of militarism; women and children's health (impact of media violence, war toys).

Submit a 1-2 page proposal, your CV and at least one reference to PHRI by July 1st of each year. The proposal should outline the research topic, methodology, topic's relevance to peace through health and outline what form the final product will take. The students should also indicate how they see the project enhancing their personal career goals. Please submit by email to: phri@ccc.mcmaster.ca
