Internship Research Fund

The UCVM Internship Research Fund (IRF) is offered by the University of Calgary Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (UCVM) through the Research Office. Competitions for this funding program are held once per year.


The purpose of the UCVM Internship Research Fund is to support original clinical research at UCVM and its partnered internship practices, the Distributed Veterinary Teaching Hospitals (DVTH), and to enhance the research training experience for interns.

Applications will be judged on the basis of:

  • Quality of the proposed research plan including a likelihood of resulting in a peer reviewed publication
  • Feasibility of the research proposal
  • Training opportunities provided by the project (knowledge, skills, expertise and project management experience)
