CIHR Fellowship Program – Deadline change and reminder about moving to one competition per year

(2013-07-17) This serves as a reminder that beginning in the Fall 2013, CIHR will only be offering one Fellowship competition per year. Despite this change, the number of fellowships awarded will be maintained at approximately 170 per year and the overall budget allocated to this program will remain unchanged at $21M over five years.

To ensure the successful implementation of this change, the CIHR Fellowship awards competition deadline will be moving to November 15, 2013 (rather than October 1) and the anticipated notice of decision will be on April 30, 2014. Although the deadline date is delayed for this competition, eligibility of candidates will not be impacted for this year as, exceptionally for this competition, applicants' eligibility will be calculated as of October 1, 2013.

Should you have questions, we encourage you to consult the CIHR website for details regarding the program and how to apply, or to contact the program delivery team at fellowships@cihr-irsc.gc.ca.
