Nova Scotia Health Scientific Affiliate Appointment Application
The Nova Scotia Health Scientific Affiliate Program supports research partnerships that align with the organization’s strategic priorities. The Scientific Affiliate appointment provides eligible research partners not currently employed by Nova Scotia Health administrative privileges necessary to conduct research under the auspices of Nova Scotia Health. Such privileges include Nova Scotia Health user and network access, eligibility to submit to the Nova Scotia Health Research Ethics Board, and eligibility to apply for internal funding opportunities.
Scientific Affiliate Appointment Streams
The Scientific Affiliate Program currently offers two appointment streams. These streams are designed to reflect the level of integration and administrative responsibility associated with the applicant's research activities at Nova Scotia Health:
Embedded Scientific Affiliates
- May pursue independent research as Principal Investigator or serve as a sub-investigator on Nova Scotia Health studies.
- Work in partnership with a Nova Scotia Health department or program relevant to project that requires an appointment.
- Do not hold research funds under their own name at Nova Scotia Health. Exceptions may apply when justified and approved.
Independent Scientific Affiliates
- Independent affiliates maintain a more autonomous research arrangement with Nova Scotia Health. Their research must still align with NSH priorities.
- They may hold and manage research funds in their own name at NSH.
- Independent affiliates are responsible for the administration of these funds in accordance with institutional requirements.
- Independent appointments are only granted under special circumstances, and require a letter of support from a Director, Senior Director, or Vice President.
