Hi Everyone,

I am writing to share details of the 2024 Mitacs Globalink Research Award (GRA) program, which recently opened a call for applications. I am hoping that you can share this opportunity with researchers and students in your networks.

Under the joint supervision of a home and host professor at a university in Canada and an institution affiliated with one of Mitacs’ international partners, senior undergraduate and graduate students as well as postdoctoral fellows included in successful applications will receive a $6,000 research award to conduct a 12- to 24-week research project in the other country. This funding can be used to both send UM students to international host labs, as well as bring in visiting students from international partner institutions.

Eligibility criteria may vary between participating international partners.  All internship units are subject to funding availability by Mitacs and the international partner.

No Institutional co-funding is required for this GRA thematic call.

The 2024 call for GRA applications will remain open from September 12th, 2024 to November 20th, 2024.
