Mitacs has recently issued a rapid call for the Mitacs Research Training Award. The award will provide opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to undertake a short-term, paid research training internship under the supervision of a faculty member. The award is valued at $6,000.
To be eligible, research projects must be designed and led by students. Projects must be conducted in a remote working environment and cannot involve face-to-face interactions. They must run for 12 to 16 weeks between June and September 2020. See further details below.
Laurier will be restricted in the number of applications we can submit to Mitacs. If demand exceeds the number of applications we are permitted to forward, applications will be adjudicated internally by the Office of Research Services. They will be assessed on:
a) how the award will benefit the student’s academic studies and research career; and
b) the potential of the project and research activities to contribute to industry, the not-for-profit community, society, and/or Canada.
To apply, please contact your supervisor. Your supervisor can reach out to mwymanmccarthy@wlu.ca to request an application form. Applications must be completed and submitted by Monday, May 18, 2020.
