Description
The Pursuit Awards recognize PhD students and recent alumni from around the world for outstanding contributions to and achievements in childhood disability research. Featured by UBC Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, the awards focus on doctoral research in pediatric disability and offer first-, second-, and third-prize recognition. Further award information is available through the Bloorview Research Institute at Holland Bloorview.
Recognition centres on the research itself: the significance of its results, the strength of its methodology and empirical content, and its impact and relevance to childhood disability research. The competition therefore highlights both the quality of the evidence and the contribution that findings make to the field.
