Thanks to a multi-year partnership, many of our studentships and fellowships are co-funded by Mitacs.

We run 1-3 funding cycles for studentships per year (this schedule may vary annually):

  • An Early-Year call (between February and May):

    • For general mental health projects starting in May or September.

  • A Truth and Reconciliation Day call (September 30th):

    • For Indigenous mental health projects, led by Indigenous researchers.

  • Additional targeted calls (throughout the year):

    • For mental health projects with a focus on specific research focus areas, population groups and/or geographic regions.
