Student Research & Funding

Medical students at Dalhousie are known for producing excellent clinical and basic science research. Highlights of our research program include the availability of summer research grants for students in first and second year and the opportunity to conduct research during their electives throughout their medical education. Statistical support is also available for non-RIM (Research in Medicine) projects (see below). Dalhousie medicine provides students with the critical analysis and research skills to be successful and productive physician scientists and evidence based practitioners.

Research Support

Are you working on non-RIM related research with no help for data analysis?

If your project is ready for data analysis, fill out this form (below) to see if you are able to partner with an Honours student from the Dalhousie Division of Statistics.

The role of this Honours student would be to tackle the data analysis portion of your project with guidance from a supervisor (expert in statistical analysis). These students typically must complete their work by the end of the regular academic calendar.

You would be expected to coordinate with them to set expectations at the beginning such as:
  • Will the data analysis for your project be within the scope of their Honours program?
  • What will be the expected timeline?
  • How much of the analysis will they be expected to complete?
  • Publication authorship?
  • Etc.
