The Dr. J. A. Campbell Young Investigator Award supports students and recent graduates conducting research into celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity. Listed by UBC Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, the opportunity directs applicants to Celiac Canada’s research awards program. Its scope encompasses any kind of research into these conditions, rather than a specific research method.
Celiac Canada’s Young Investigator Grant particularly welcomes research addressing underrepresented and underserved populations, including Indigenous Peoples, newcomers, racialized communities, and other vulnerable or marginalized groups. Applications are not limited to this focus. The award forms part of the J. Alexander Campbell Research Fund, which honours Dr. Campbell’s contributions to nutrition science and the celiac community and supports investigation of celiac disease and the gluten-free diet.
