CANADIAN NETWORK FOR INTERNATIONAL SURGERY INJURY CONTROL AWARD
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The Canadian Network for International Surgery is a Canadian
non-governmental organisation (NGO) formed in 1995. Its goal is to
facilitate, promote, and sustain the health of people in developing
countries through increased access to essential surgery available though
regional doctors and health workers.

Current projects include (among others) the operation of the Injury Control
Centre - Uganda (ICCU). The newly-established Centre is based at Makerere
University's New Mulago Hospital in Kampala. Research aims of the Centre
span clinical, epidemiological, and public health-related areas, including
measurement of trauma incidence and severity in the local population,
establishment and assessment of preventative measures, and safety education
among others.

The award will be given annually to a Canadian medical student who wishes to
undertake research at the ICCU.  Research projects will be developed jointly
by the student and Centre investigators, or students can work on ongoing
projects already underway. Applicants should be
in their final year of medical school and a minimum of 8 weeks elective time
is preferred, although a shorter time can be considered.
The award consists of 1000$CDN for personal expenses and a research grant of
500$CDN.

The (flexible) application deadline is April 30, 2000.

Please email me or visit our website at http://www.web.net/~cnis if this is
of interest to you.  Thanks!
