The Banting application deadline will be September 19, 2018. As per the University’s internal process for previous Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships program competitions, there will be an internal deadline to allow for a more thorough selection process and additional time to help develop strong applications. This internal deadline has been set as JULY 25, 2018. By this deadline, all sections of the application must be completed with the exception of the Letter of Endorsement attachment, which will be completed only for those applications selected to be submitted to the competition following internal review by an expert panel. For those applicants invited to submit a full application to the Banting program, all sections of the revisedapplication taking into consideration the panel members comments along with the FAAF, must be completed and submitted to the Office of Research Services by September 13, 2018. Researchers are encouraged to visit the Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships Website (www.banting.fellowships-bourses.gc.ca<http://www.banting.fellowships-bourses.gc.ca/>) to review the program guidelines and eligibility criteria to identify possible candidates for this prestigious award.
