KBHN – Early Career Investigator & Mentorship Awards

Eligibility: 

Applicants must be:

  • A researcher holding an academic appointment at a Canadian University or research institute and eligible to receive funds from a federal granting agency (e.g., NCE, CIHR, NSERC, or SSHRC).
  • Actively working in neurodevelopmental disabilities research and within five years from the date of the first research-related appointment at the application deadline, minus eligible career delays. Research-related appointments are defined as those where the individual has the autonomy to hold grants and conduct independent research.
    • All eligible leaves (e.g., maternity, parental, medical, bereavement) are credited as career delays twice the time taken.
    • Professional leaves (e.g., training, sabbatical, administrative) are not credited as career delays.
    • As of March 1st, 2020, those holding early-career status will have their status extended by one year due to COVID-19-related impacts (for example, if the date of initial appointment was July 1st, 2016, the eligibility for this competition is extended to July 1st, 2022).
