IMH Marshall Fellows Program

The IMH Marshall Fellows Program supports the training of early career investigators in translational research, and aims to increase capacity in academic psychiatry.

The UBC Institute of Mental Health (UBC IMH), with the support of Sunny and Stewart Marshall, launched the IMH Marshall Fellows Program in Mental Health in 2019.

In line with the vision and commitment of the IMH and the donors, the Program invests in the training of young investigators, preparing them for careers dedicated to advancing understanding and treatment of psychiatric disorders.
