Normally, one (1) prize is awarded annually in each of five (5) disciplines. The Killam Prize is valued at $100,000 CAD.  They are awarded annually, on a competitive basis, for research done in any of the following disciplines:

• Engineering
• Health sciences
• Humanities
• Natural sciences
• Social sciences

The call has now opened for faculty proposals to the 2027 cohort of Mitacs Globalink Research Internships, with a June 10, 2026 deadline.  ALL DISCIPLINES are eligible. 

Mitacs GRI research internships are fully paid by Mitacs for top undergraduate students to participate in research with Canadian professors.  Placements must begin between May 1 and July 31 and run for 12 weeks.

The list of eligible countries for student applications has grown (newly added countries are bolded):  Austria, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Jordan, Mexico, Pakistan, Peru, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Tunisia, Ukraine, United Kingdom and the United States.

Student applications typically open in early August. Applicants select projects of interest and are matched with professors. If a researcher's project is approved, they will be invited to interview and rank the top applicants to their project. If researchers have collaborators in an eligible country/institution, they may encourage their undergrads to apply, however they will go through the same selection process as everyone else. 

Please see the call page and attached call announcement.  The application is submitted online, however here is attached a printout of the Proposal section so that researchers can preview the substantive part of the application. Researchers may submit more than one project, or even resubmit a previous year's project. 

If researchers have any questions, they can contact Jill Sherman, International Research Faciliator at intl.research@lakeheadu.ca

Our Fuel program is accepting applications for one more week! Apply now to receive up to $500,000 in funding and a suite of tailored acceleration services to support the development of transformative innovations in aging and brain health.

Fuel supports two streams:

• Healthcare + Research Organizations (HCROs) advancing evidence-based solutions ready for real-world validation

• Start-Up Companies with healthtech or biotech products ready for further development, testing, and validation

Successful applicants also gain access to acceleration services, end-user feedback, expert mentorship, and strategic networks.

The objective of Idea to Innovation (I2I) grants is to accelerate the pre-competitive development of promising technology originating from the university and college sector, and to promote its transfer to a new or established Canadian company. I2I grants provide funding to college and university faculty members to support research and development projects with recognized technology transfer potential. This is achieved through defined phases by providing crucial assistance in the early stages of technology validation and market connection.

The Killam NRC Paul Corkum Fellowship may support a specific collaborative project, a knowledge exchange initiative, a novel multidisciplinary collaboration, or other scholarly pursuits that advances knowledge.

The program will award up to three (3) fellowships each year, and each fellowship project must align with an NRC challenge program.

1. enable new and potentially disruptive technologies to be developed with industry, academics and government;
2. strengthen collaborations with industry, academia, and various levels of government to attain critical mass for addressing national issues of importance to the Canadian economy and quality of life for Canadians;
3. find solutions to some of the most serious public policy challenges; and
4. create stronger innovation ecosystems in specific sectors by enabling industry, academics, and government labs to partner with NRC researchers, leveraging NRC facilities and resources, and share knowledge.

Fellowships are valued at $100,000 CAD per year in the form of a grant that is paid to the institution of each Fellow to cover release time. An additional grant of up to $50,000 CAD is available to accommodate travel and knowledge dissemination costs of the Fellow, based on budget estimates provided in the proposal.  Therefore, as part of your application package submitted to the Office of Research Services for review, a complete release time request form would be required (as well as the usual Research Proposal Approval Form).
