CAMRT Research Grants

Research plays a critical role in advancing healthcare and strengthening our profession. It fills knowledge gaps, optimizes patient care, enhances how MRTs work, and ensures MRTs are recognized as leaders within an increasingly complex healthcare system. As we strive to shape both an association and a profession ready for the future, we know that evidence, knowledge and research are essential to success.

Over the years, CAMRT has built research supports to encourage the widespread use of evidence and align patient care with evidence-informed practices. Research grants are a natural extension of this strategy — an investment in research conducted for MRTs, by MRTs, on topics of strategic importance to the growth of the profession.

Research Fellowship Grant

The CAMRT Research Fellowship Grant program is a national competition that supports MRTs pursuing research projects of broad significance and widespread interest within the medical radiation sciences. The program is intended to provide successful applicants (Research Fellows) with research environments conducive to innovation and knowledge creation, while strengthening partnerships between CAMRT and the MRT research community.
