Harmonization of CIHR's Doctoral Research Awards

(2010-07-15) In June, CIHR was pleased to launch the fall 2010 open Doctoral Research Awards competition. In an effort to harmonize and promote funding equity among CIHR's doctoral awards programs, CIHR increased the value of all doctoral awards to $35,000 per year to align with the amount per award provided through the Canada Graduate Scholarship Doctoral Awards (CGS-D) program.

As part of this competition, CIHR is offering CGS-D awards and Doctoral Foreign Study Awards (DFSA). Although the awards are of equivalent value, the CGS-D is targeted to support top-ranked Canadian students studying within Canada, while the DFSA is targeted to support top-ranked students studying abroad.

Information regarding additional opportunities for funding through Priority Announcements on the Doctoral Research Award competitions will be available on the CIHR website in August 2010. For more information on CIHR's open Doctoral Research Awards program, please consult the Funding Opportunity.
