What
does it cover? The
total grant for each PhD student is $90,000 over 3 years and the partner
organization must contribute a minimum of $36,000 over 3 years. Contributions
from the partner organization must be sent to Mitacs annually ($12,000 per
annum). If requested on the proposal form, up to 2 invoices for $6,000 per year
may be granted. Upon Mitacs receipt of the annual partner contribution,
the grant will be delivered annually as a research grant to the fellow’s
academic supervisor. The $30,000 annual grant must support a $25,000
annual stipend for the PhD student, with $5,000 per year available to support
research costs related to the approved project. For projects with high
research support costs, the stipend may be reduced on an exception basis,
to a minimum of $20,000 with supporting information in the proposal. The
same PhD student must receive the stipend for all three years, as the
award is non-transferable and cannot be shared amongst multiple students. Award
funds are limited to supporting the direct costs of research as directed by
NSERC.
