Bank of Canada 2021 Fellowship Program

We are pleased to invite you, on behalf of your university, to nominate candidates for the Bank of Canada’s 2021 Fellowship Program awards.

The Fellowship Program awards support high-quality Canadian academic research related to the Bank’s core functions. There are two types of financial awards:

• The Fellowship Award provides annual funding of up to $90,000 to leading academic researchers for a term of up to five years.
• The Governor’s Award consists of an annual research grant of $30,000 for distinguished, up-and-coming university researchers for a term of up to two years.

Our goal for the Fellowship Program is to foster excellence in economic and financial research in Canada and to support collaboration between Bank staff and leading academics at Canadian post-secondary institutions.

There is no limit to the number of candidates a university can nominate for either of the awards and we encourage you to re-nominate candidates nominated in previous years. Full details on eligibility requirements and the nomination process can be found on the Bank’s website.

The deadline for 2021 nominations is November 30, 2020. The award recipients will be announced in March of 2021.

The Bank of Canada values its relationships with academic institutions. We look forward to receiving one or more nominations from you or your colleagues for these prestigious awards!
