Partner contribution starts at $7,500 per internship unit (4-6 months), which results in a $15,000 research award. Of the $15,000 award, the intern will receive a minimum $10,000 stipend/salary.

Description

Optimize your budget, grow your R&D, and tap into the expertise of highly skilled students, graduate students, recent grads, and postdocs to solve your research challenges and achieve your innovation goals. Open to for-profit and not-for-profit corporations, the program pairs  partner organizations with top-level research talent, who can help achieve business and innovation goals, execute initiatives, identify new markets, commercialize results, and more. Projects start at four months in duration and can be scaled up as needed.

Eligible Applicants

  • Students and postdoctoral fellows at Mitacs partner colleges and universities in Canada. Postdoctoral fellows are eligible if the date of graduation from a PhD program is less than five years to the proposed start date of the project. Exceptions are available for extenuating circumstances such as parental leave or military service. Fellows must not have been employed full-time at the partner organization prior to applying.
  • Recent graduates (must be within two years of graduation at the start of their project), and non-degree students (diploma, certificate, etc) are eligible at the academic institution’s discretion (any interested applicants should check with their institution to first determine whether they are able to support other types of university students before drafting an application)
  • Full-time graduate students in select Mitacs partner countries (visit Accelerate International for more details)
  • Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and international students over the age of 18
  • All academic disciplines
  • For-profit corporations and eligible not-for-profit corporations, municipalities, and hospitals in Canada
  • For-profit businesses operating outside of Canada (please see Accelerate International)

Eligible Expenses

Partner contribution starts at $7,500 per internship unit (4-6 months), which results in a $15,000 research award. Of the $15,000 award, the intern will receive a minimum $10,000 stipend/salary.

If a project has 6 or more internship units with 3 or more interns, it is possible for the partner organization to contribute $6,000 per internship unit instead. This will receive a $13,300 research award with a $10,000 minimum stipend to the intern.
