early postdoctoral research training in all basic

Canada, or abroad and also to foreign citizens for

consider applicants who plan tenure of the
fellowship in the laboratory in which they have
already received extensive predoctoral or
postdoctoral training. The aim of the fellowship
is to broaden postdoctoral training and
experience, and a significant change of venue is
advisable. Since the number of available
fellowships is limited, the Foundation does not
make more than one award in any one year for
training with a given supervisor, and in addition,
will not support more than two fellows per
laboratory at one time.</span></div>

The selection of a commercial or industrial
laboratory for the training experience is not
acceptable.</span></div>
