The P.S.I. Foundation and CSCI/CIHR Resident Research Awards provide five prizes of $2,000.00 each for excellence in resident research with the CSCI given to the resident whose research paper is deemed most outstanding from amongst the five PSI Award winners. Residents registered with the Postgraduate Medical Education Office in one of Western University postgraduate training programs or the CIP Program are eligible to apply. Excellence in research papers will be the sole criterion for selection of prize winners. To qualify, the research must have been conducted during residency (PGY1-6) at Western University. Fellows are not eligible for these prizes.

Residents who have conducted research, presented a paper or submitted research for publication during their residency training PGY1-6, should submit four hard copies of that paper or text of the presentation, as well as four hard copies of a one page "lay summary" to provide a brief explanation of the research project and its significance to:

The papers or text will not be returned to the resident. Abstracts will not suffice. The submission must be accompanied by a statement from the resident’s supervisor outlining the resident’s role in the design, conduct and reporting of the research. Please provide this office with four hard copies of this statement. Electronic submissions will not be received. Only one submission per resident will be accepted each year and the same paper is not eligible in subsequent years. Each resident will be eligible for only one P.S.I. or CSCI prize during their residency training; past winners may not apply again. There will be no limit on any single program. Award winners will be announced at the end of June 2012. Please direct any questions regarding these awards to the PGME Office at 519.661.2019.
