The Pathways to Prosperity Student and Postdoctoral Exchange Program – 2018

Call for Expressions of Interest from Students/Postdoctoral Fellows and Those Who Would Be Willing to Host Them

The P2P exchange program provides relocation travel funding so that students and post-doctoral fellows have opportunities to participate in new research or broaden the scope and breadth of research they already have underway; collect and/or analyze data at another university, at a settlement agency, or at a government department; and take courses at another university while also conducting research there. Descriptions of previous exchanges can be found on page 8 of the April 2018 eBulletin and starting on page 6 of the May 2017 eBulletin.

 

The Details:

We will provide travel funding of up to $2500 to four individuals this year, with placements to begin in the Fall or Winter of 2018-2019. This arrangement might also be eligible for additional funding through the Mitacs Accelerate program, for which the Pathways to Prosperity has pre-approval.

The due date for applications is May 28, 2018. By applying to the exchange program, you are giving us permission to circulate your application to interested applicants or hosts. We will facilitate discussions and negotiations between applicants and hosts, with the goal of ensuring that when a successful match is made and funded, there is clear agreement about the duration and responsibilities of both parties.

 

Application Process for Interested Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Fellows Who Would Like to Participate in the Exchange:
