The Canadian Studies Doctoral Research Fellowship is designed to assist full-time graduate students at degree-granting institutions of higher education, whose dissertations are related in substantial part to Canada, to undertake doctoral research about Canada. The award provides assistance towards international airfare and a monthly flat rate allowance for up to a maximum of six months spent in Canada.
The policy effect: Although applications are welcomed from all disciplines, awards are granted mainly for research particularly in projects that have policy relevance for Canada and Canada’s foreign policy.
Value: The maximum value of the award will consist of a contribution towards international airfare, an allowance of 1,200 CDN$ per complete month towards expenses while in Canada up to a maximum of six months and an allocation of a hold-back upon submission to the Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute of a final report on the award. Smaller awards may also be made.
