$400,000 Wounded Warriors Canada Doctoral Scholarship

EDMONTON – In May, Wounded Warriors Canada launched a doctoral scholarship in military and veterans’ mental health research. The Canadian Institute for Military and Veterans Health Research (CIMVHR), based at Queen’s University, and its 26 member universities are partners in the 10-year program.

â€œThe Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research is thrilled about this partnership with Wounded Warriors Canada and the legacy this gift will build for military, veteran and family health research in Canada,â€ says Alice Aiken (School of Rehabilitation Therapy), Director of the CIMVHR.

The $400,000 in new scholarships will fund doctoral students from universities across Canada as they research issues relevant to military members, veterans and families. Wounded Warriors Canada will also facilitate a meeting between the doctoral scholars and wounded veterans so they can understand the impact of their work.

On November 26^th, at the CIMVHR Forum in Edmonton, Wounded Warriors Canada, along with our National Patron the Hon. Romeo Dallaire, was proud to introduce the first recipient of the Wounded Warriors Doctoral Scholarship, Mr. Duncan Shields from the University of British Columbia.

The Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research (CIMVHR) was established by Queen’s and the Royal Military College of Canada to address the gap in military, veteran and family health research in Canada and to deal with the diverse set of physical, mental and social health issues that are faced by veterans, current soldiers, and their families. With a network of academic researchers from across Canada, CIMVHR serves as a focal point for more than 26 Canadian universities who have agreed to work together in addressing the health research requirements of this important segment of the Canadian population.
