The Quest

The Quest, the John Ruedy Award, honors the best of the best.

Each year the award is presented to the student researcher who demonstrates the greatest promise and potential for excellence in health research.

The winner is selected from among the applicants with the highest standings in all categories in the Nova Scotia Health Research Foundation's (NSHRF) annual grants competition. Among the criteria that will be used to determine the winner will be their future plans, long-term goals, career expectations, and prospective contribution to the field of health research.

In addition to receiving this prestigious recognition, Capital Health contributes an annual award of $5,000 to help the winner further his/her research.
