MONTREAL, October 24, 2022 – CanVECTOR is now accepting applications for the Network's Fall 2022 Research Start-up Awards Competition with a submission deadline of November 25, 2022. 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).
For more information on the awards or past winners, see the list of trainee funded projects from past competitions.
