Tri-Agency Harmonization of the Canada Graduate Scholarships

(2013-01-28) As previously announced, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) have formed a Tri-Agency Harmonization Team to redesign the Canadian Graduate Scholarship (CGS) Master's and Doctoral components. This project is an opportunity for graduate students and post-secondary institutions to take full advantage of simpler application and adjudication procedures and processes. It also means that stakeholders will benefit from the clarity that comes with greater alignment across the agencies of the program's key characteristics, such as eligibility and selection criteria. We are pleased to announce the creation of the CGS Harmonization Web page. This page will be updated regularly highlighting project details and outreach opportunities.
