New award launched for IBET fellows
The Indigenous and Black Engineering and Technology PhD Project (IBET), led by Waterloo chemical engineering professor Dr. Tizazu Mekonnen, is expanding its partnership with Mitacs to give Indigenous and Black PhD students the opportunity to conduct research at another Canadian IBET partner institution.
The IBET Connect Award, valued at $90,000, will be offered exclusively to IBET fellows by Mitacs. Up to 10 fellows will receive a stipend to travel to and conduct a two- to four-month research or innovation-based project at an IBET partner academic institution.
