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

We run three primary funding cycles for studentships per year (although this schedule may vary annually):

  • An April/May call for FALL projects (for projects starting in September) and winter projects (for projects starting in January)

  • A September/October call for SUMMER projects (for projects starting in April/May)

  • A Truth and Reconciliation Day call for INDIGENOUS projects (for Indigenous researchers working to advance mental health in Indigenous communities)

Please check back in around those times and keep an eye on our social media for announcements of new opportunities.

For more information, email us at grants@mhrc.ca.
