Innovate BC is pleased to partner with Mitacs to support talent and business in BC. Innovate BC is investing $375,000 towards 100 Mitacs internships for COVID-19-specific projects. The funding infusion from Innovate BC coupled with Mitacs’s leveraged funds offsets the standard company-partner contribution towards the intern’s stipend and increases access to research during this pandemic.
This funding will be distributed through the Mitacs Accelerate program and will provide eligible projects with $15,000 in total funding to support the intern’s stipend. Each employer is eligible for one Innovate BC grant valued at $3,750
