Scientists
Scientists have PhDs, MDs or both and devote at least 40 per cent of their time to research (but typically more than 75 per cent). All our Scientists also hold appointments at the University of Ottawa and many are active clinicians at The Ottawa Hospital. Scientists generally hold major peer-reviewed research grants and work with a team of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, technicians and coordinators.

Investigators
Clinician Investigators are generally physicians, nurses, or other health professionals at The Ottawa Hospital who devote between 5 and 40 per cent of their time to clinical research. They often also hold appointments at the University of Ottawa. Investigators are generally PhD researchers with several years of postdoctoral training who devote between 20 and 50 per cent of their time to research.
