Accelerate Global Excellence Award

The Mitacs Accelerate Global Excellence Award is an exciting funding opportunity targeting individuals who will relocate to Canada for a collaborative, industrial-based research project at an eligible Canadian academic institution and with a Mitacs-eligible partner (private company, not-for-profit organization, municipality, or hospital).

Jointly funded by Mitacs and industry partners, this award ensures strong collaboration and impact and will provide an enhanced funding package to support the costs of research as well as relocation.

Each two-year project will be valued at $170,000, broken down as follows:

• $85,000 annual award, with $42,500 + tax per year provided by the partner organization (full contribution for the first year will be invoiced upon project approval)
• Minimum of $70,000 allocated to stipend and up to $15,000 available for research and relocation expenses

Projects are collaborations between a postdoctoral fellow, a partner organization, and an academic supervisor.
