Membership
About
There are two classes of membership for the Centre for Applied Health Research (CAHR): 1) full member, and 2) associate member. Full members comprise full-time and part-time employees of SJCG (consultants are not considered employees). All SJCG employees conducting research are required to be members of the CAHR. Associate members comprise researchers outside SJCG but whose research interests coincides with those of the organization. To apply to become a CAHR member, fill out our online application, or contact us.
Benefits
Members (full and associate) are eligible:
to apply for internal seed funding when available;
(if applicable) for Lakehead University graduate students they supervise to apply to the SJCG Awards in Applied Health Research;
(if applicable) for Northwestern Ontario post-secondary students they supervise to apply for the CAHR Learner Award (i.e., best student poster) at the annual Showcase of Health Research, and
to request access to other forms of support (e.g., project consultation, statistical service) when possible.
Obligations
Members are required to report their research activities to the CAHR on an annual basis (by the second Friday in February each year). This information and membership details will be used to create a database including researchers’ interests, projects, and output (e.g., publications) and to describe research activities at SJCG. Members are also expected to abide by policies regulating research activities including Research Ethics Board approval.
