Please note the CRTP Award competition changes for 2024:
- Awards for 2024 will be for one year only, subject to the availability of funds and the trainee’s fulfillment of the award requirements.
- A supervisor may supplement the value of the trainee award from their grant support. BHCRI recommends that supervisors contribute to trainee awards to ensure trainees receive a living wage, if possible.
- For the 2024 competition, trainees can hold a CRTP Award or another award but may not hold both.
The CRTP Award application deadline is 4:00pm ADT on 4 April 2024. Funding for approved awards will begin on 1 September 2024.
