Description:

The Globalink Research Award (GRA) program has reopened fully in Ontario starting November 3, 2022.

The GRA program provides opportunities for Canadian senior undergraduate and graduate students (Master’s or PhD), and Postdoctoral Fellows to gain international research experience through a collaborative research experience with universities located in Mitacs partner and eligible countries, and for international senior undergraduate, Master’s or PhD students and Postdoctoral Fellows to gain research experience with eligible Canadian universities.

New proposals submitted to Mitacs will be reviewed and approvals will be determined per Mitacs’ standard course of business. Within 12 weeks of submission Mitacs will contact participants about the outcome of the application, with funding start dates expected beginning from April 1, 2023. All award approvals are subject to funding availability. Therefore, 2023 travel should be planned for late spring, early summer or later and must take place within a year from the funding decision date.

Each project supported by the Program should not only support the priority research areas and objectives of McMaster, as outlined the summary of Research for a Brighter World: McMaster University’s Strategic Plan for Research 2018-2023 (https://macdrive.mcmaster.ca/f/80f1e8b26ee34e5f9d52/?dl=1), but also provide benefits for Canada.

• Stream 1 – unlimited number of Inbound and Outbound applications with Mitacs international partner institutions; Please see the “International Partners Information “ tab.
• Stream 2 – fixed allocation of 22 Inbound and Outbound applications with institutions from Mitacs-eligible countries/regions Eligible Countries. The current listing for eligible countries/regions.
