Kanadísk stjórnvöld auglýstu nýverið nýja styrki fyrir doktorsnema undir yfirskriftinni Canada Global Impact+ Research Talent Initiative. Styrkjunum er ætlað að laða fleira vísindafólk til Kanada.

Hér fyrir neðan má lesa nánar um styrkina og umsóknarfresti:

• The Canada Impact+ Research Chairs competition. This funding opportunity will enable universities and research hospitals to attract exceptional researchers from abroad, supporting up to 100 Research Chairs, who will each receive either $8 million or $4 million over eight years, including a potential four-year extension at 50% of the initial award value.
• The Canada Impact+ Emerging Leaders program. This initiative will enable universities and research hospitals to recruit and support up to 100 internationally based early career researchers, who will each receive $100,000 per year for six years, with a potential continuation of funding for an additional six years at $100,000 per year.
