Mitacs Elevate

Our Elevate program, open to all disciplines, provides critical career and skills training to postdoctoral fellows through real-world collaborations. 

As in prior years, postdoctoral fellows can apply for two years of funding valued at $60,000/year in any discipline.

Through Elevate, postdoctoral fellows get the opportunity to:

• Manage a long-term collaborative research project with a company or not-for-profit organization
• Receive exclusive professional development training in career fundamentals, interpersonal skills, communication, intrapreneurialism, leadership and management, and much more
• Cultivate cross-disciplinary networks and take advantage of peer-learning opportunities
• Receive a certificate of completion upon completing all program requirements

Plus, if you collaborate with an Indigenous partner organization, they contribute only 25% of the cost of the project!

Note: Postdoctoral fellows may apply for Mitacs Elevate fellowship if their date of graduation from a PhD program is no more than 5 years prior to the proposed start date the research project.
