There are three PEI Health Research Institute membership categories:
- Full Member,
- Affiliate Member, and
- Graduate/Postdoc Member.
There is no membership fee to join the PEI HRI.
FULL MEMBER: Full members are independent or primary investigators conducting health research or with an interest in conducting health research on PEI. A primary or independent investigator is defined as a researcher who, independently or as part of a research team, is eligible to receive grant funds from research funding organizations and whose salary is not dependent on support from grant funds. Criteria for continuing active involvement in health research may be included as the PEI HRI develops. Full members are eligible to receive support from the PEI HRI as outlined in accompanying documents. Full members are permitted and expected to acknowledge association with the PEI HRI in publications and to acknowledge any financial support. Full members are expected to participate in the activities and functions of the PEI HRI
AFFILIATE MEMBER: Affiliate Membership is available for individuals or organizations who do not meet the requirements for full membership or who are not actively engaged in health research, but who are interested in supporting health research on PEI and in being kept informed of PEI HRI activities. Affiliate members are encouraged to participate in PEI HRI activities and to have input into the direction and activities of the HRI.
GRADUATE/POSTDOCTORAL MEMBER: This category is open to all graduate students and postdoctoral fellows whose supervisors are members of the PEI HRI. All recipients of support from the PEI HRI are expected to be members. Graduate/postdoctoral members are eligible to participate in the activities of the PEI HRI.
