Description
The overall goal of the Molly Towell Perinatal Research Foundation is to encourage perinatal research in Canada. According to Dr. Towell’s direction, the Foundation will support original and innovative research, which she defined as the pursuit of new information derived from basic biomedical or clinical research. High priority is given to projects that concern fetal development, but any studies that involve original research in fetal or neonatal medicine will be considered. However, purely epidemiological research or clinical trials will not be considered. Also excluded are retrospective and cross-sectional surveys and chart or record reviews, database explorations of all types, population epidemiology, economic studies, health services research, opinion/preference surveys, and anthropological studies. Depending on application pressure, the quality of the applications and the performance of the endowment investments, additional or fewer awards may be given.
MTPRF provides salary support for clinical or basic science, post-doctorals with a MD, PhD or equivalent degree who wish to acquire further training and experience in basic biomedical research in preparation for a career in academic medicine.
