Internal Sources of Funding to the University of Toronto
CIP trainees receive salary support via sources internal to the University of Toronto and via competitive external salary awards. Funding of CIP trainees is the responsibility of Clinical Departments. Residents should contact their Department to learn more about research training and funding opportunities.
Clinical Departments fund CIP trainees via:
