Objectives
This program is designed to facilitate the recruitment of qualified researchers seeking to begin or continue an independent career in health-care research. With this program, the FRQS intends to promote continuity in health research in Québec and ensure that high-caliber scientists are available to meet the needs of universities, hospitals and industries. Applicants must hold a doctorate in research or a professional degree in a health-related field at the doctoral level and work as full-time researchers (at least 75% of their working hours). This program is divided into three research areas: 1) basic research; 2) clinical and epidemiological research; and 3) research on health and society. |
Program rules that prevail are those of the PDF version. |

RESEARCH AREAS
|
All applicants who hold a doctoral degree in research or a professional degree in the health sciences at the doctoral level are required to choose one of the following research areas: |
Basic science |
This includes the basic biological mechanisms of health at the molecular, cellular, tissue and integrative levels, including all research that uses intact animal organisms or their cellular components, cellular descendants, or human cells and tissues. Research that involves the participation of human subjects is included under this heading as long as it involves basic mechanisms. |
Clinical and epidemiological science |
In general, this includes all biological, medical and epidemiological research that involves the participation of human subjects. |
Health and society |
This includes research on individual, social and cultural factors and interactions among them that are linked to health status or behaviors. There are many social and cultural factors that are relevant to health: the organization and provision of health care, social and health-care policy, education, economics and employment, the media, ethical issues, the environment in which we live, and so on. It is possible to combine two areas of research; for example, basic science and clinical and epidemiological science may intersect in research projects that involve human subjects. |
|
After reviewing the Notices of Intent, the FRQS may recommend that an applicant redirect his or her application to the research area in which the Review Committee possesses the most appropriate expertise for reviewing the file. In doubt, applicants are invited to contact the FRQS. |

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
|
The FRQS will classify the applicant as a Junior 1, Junior 2 or Senior Researcher and notify the applicant of his or her classification. On receiving such notice, the applicant has 10 business days to request a review of his or her classification, specifying the reasons for the claim. Classification is based on a given reference year as of which applicants demonstrate their capacity for independent research. Within the meaning of the FRQS, this capacity is demonstrated or should have been demonstrated:
When one of these conditions is met, applicants are classified Junior 1 with 0 years of experience, and, as of this point, the number of years of experience is updated annually. Applicants with 4 to 7 years' experience are classified Junior 2, and those with 8 to 11 years' experience are classified Senior. For the FRQS, each year of experience is calculated at the effective starting date of the award (July 1st). In calculating years of experience, the FRQS may take into account particular situations that may cause applicants to temporarily put their research on hold (e.g. pregnancy, illness, professional activities not involving research: clinical, treatment, management, etc.) and may subtract such years when calculating years of experience. |

EVALUATION
Process |
All applications are reviewed by a peer-review committee made up of members representing various health disciplines and research methodologies. The applications will be categorized and assessed based on the research area (basic, clinical and epidemiological or health and society) and research experience (Junior 1, Junior 2 or Senior). The FRQS will recruit 5 review committees for the research scholars:
|
||||||||||||
Criteria |
Different criteria are used based on the area of research; its relative importance in the overall review by the peer-review committees may vary depending on the classification level - Junior 1, Junior 2 or Senior:
The evaluation criteria for each level are detailed in the Evaluation grids (in French) for Junior 1, Junior 2 and Senior. |

Approval |
The university approves applications and assumes the responsibilities listed below jointly with the head of the department with which the applicant is affiliated and the research centre where the research will be conducted (if applicable). |
Salary supplement |
University authorities supporting an application for a Research Scholar must ensure that the applicant will receive a salary supplement equal to the difference between the award and the remuneration that the applicant would receive from the university as a full-time professor, to the satisfaction of the FRQS. Should the applicant have a mixed affiliation involving a company, the university and the partner must jointly endorse the Research Scholar's application. Under such circumstances, the partners must ensure that the applicant will receive a salary supplement equal to the difference between the award and the remuneration that the applicant would receive from the university or from the partner as a full-time professor or employee. A protocol of agreement must be signed with the FRQS to cover this partnership. |
Confirmation of position – Senior Research Scholars |
For applications in the Senior Research Scholar competition:
|
Benefits and laboratory or research premises |
The applicant must be eligible to join the pension plan and enjoy other benefits available to full-time staff working at the university. These obligations imply that the researcher's salary will be administered by the university even if he or she works at a research centre. The host institution agrees to provide the functional laboratory or research premises and basic equipment the applicant requires for research purposes. |
Protected time for research |
University and host institution administrators must jointly ensure that the applicant is released from his/her administrative, clinical and teaching duties so that he/she may fulfill the obligation to devote at least half (75%) of his/her professional activities to research. |
