Description

In 2010 the Government of Canada allocated $45 million over five years to deliver the high-profile, prestigious Postdoctoral Fellowships Program.

The fellowships will be known as the Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships, in memory of Sir Frederick Banting, the Canadian physician, researcher, Nobel laureate and war hero who, together with his assistant Dr. Charles Best, is credited with the discovery of insulin. The program is jointly administered by Canada’s three federal granting agencies: the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). CIHR has been designated as the operational lead for the implementation of the program.

Unique Application Requirements

The Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships Program is distinguished from existing postdoctoral fellowships programs by its emphasis on the synergy between an applicant’s individual merit and potential to launch a successful research-intensive career and the host institution’s commitment to the research program and environment with which the applicant is to be affiliated. As such, an application to the Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships Program must be completed in full collaboration with the proposed host institution.

Funds Available

• The total amount available for this funding opportunity is $3,220,000, enough to fund approximately 23 new awards.
• The maximum amount per award is $70,000 (taxable) per year for up to 2 years.  This funding is non-renewable.
