MONTREAL, September 9, 2020 – Today, CanVECTOR launched its Fall 2020 Research Start-Up Awards Competitions with a submission deadline of Friday, October 30, 2020. The purpose of the Research Start-up Awards is to help trainees achieve their research objectives through start-up operating funds for a research project or preliminary / pilot work to strengthen their research, including services, materials, or supplies.
This funding is not intended to provide salary support for trainees and the requested funds must not overlap with funding that’s available from other sources. Research start-up funding is not intended to provide support for travel relating to any academic experiences (e.g. presentation of research work at a scientific conference).
In the past year, the network has awarded eight Research Start-up Awards. For more information on past winners, visit the Trainee, Mentoring, & Early Career Development page of the website.
