Overview
The Canada Graduate Scholarships Master's Awards administered by CIHR are intended to provide special recognition and support to students who are pursuing a Master's degree in a health related field in Canada. These candidates are expected to have an exceptionally high potential for future research achievement and productivity.
*** NOTE: This program is largely a university nomination-based program, therefore please refer to your current institution to confirm the institution application deadline which will be BEFORE the CIHR application deadline noted above. Most institutions will manage a pre-selection process to select which of their students' applications will be put forward to CIHR on the CIHR deadline date. Only applicants that are not registered at a university for the Fall semester prior to the CIHR application deadline will submit their applications directly to CIHR by the above deadline.
Funds Available
CIHR's contribution to the amount available for this initiative is subject to availability of funds voted annually to CIHR by parliamentary appropriations, and the conditions that may be attached to them.
Applications are invited in all areas of health research.
For this competition, applications will be accepted in all areas of health research.
The maximum amount awarded for a single award is $17,500 for up to one year:
•Trainee stipend: $17,500 per annum.
•This award is non-renewable.
