Purpose

The Temerty Faculty of Medicine receives an annual allocation of University of Toronto Excellence Awards (UTEAs) funded by the central University. These awards flow from the central research office to the departments via Temerty Medicine's Office of Research & Health Science Education (RHSE).  UTEAs are categorized into three subtypes based on the classification of the research project to be conducted by the student (i.e., under which tri-agency mandate it falls).

University of Toronto Excellence Awards Subtype Research Project Classification Tri-Agency Mandate
HLS Health and Life Science  CIHR
NSE Natural Science and Engineering NSERC
SSH Social Science and Humanities SSHRC

Allocations of each award subtype to a department will vary from year to year. Because these awards are funded by the central University, there are additional procedures regarding confirmation of eligibility and transfer of funds which are described below (coming soon).
