What Fellows Do

Since May, fellows have participated in hands-on training covering:
  • Science communication
  • Knowledge mobilization
  • Social media
  • Presentation skills…and more! While learning, each team co-designs a project with their partner organization to bring research to life for real-world impact.

Program Benefits

Fellows earn a $3,000 stipend and receive full travel support for two key events:

  • DAC Workshop – May 2024

  • Diabetes Canada National Conference – Halifax, November 2024

2024 Partner Organizations
