Description
Bleeding Disorders Canada offers these summer studentships through its Dream of a Cure Research Program. The organization, formerly the Canadian Hemophilia Society, supports medical and undergraduate science students undertaking supervised research relevant to inherited bleeding disorders. Relevant fields include hemophilia A and B, von Willebrand disease, rare factor deficiencies, and platelet function disorders.
The studentships aim to advance research that improves health and quality of life for people with these conditions and ultimately helps find a cure. The 2026–2027 funding cycle supports research during summer 2027. The program also communicates funded research to the bleeding disorders community through accessible research summaries and final reports intended for publications and medical and scientific symposiums.
