Mitacs has given the ULethbridge the opportunity to enhance the international mobility of its students and postdoctoral fellows by increasing the GRA program allocation from 5 to 8 internship units for the current fiscal year 2025-26 (ending March 31, 2026). Each intern will receive $6,000 per internship unit (IU): * $6,000 research award to conduct one 12- to 24-week research project in the other country. This is one internship unit (IU). * $12,000 research award to conduct one 24- to 48-week research project or two 12- to 24-week research projects in the other country. This is two internship units (IUs). The internship may be hosted by you in Canada (inbound) or involve sending your student abroad (outbound). Please note that for inbound mobility, all countries are eligible except for Russia and North Korea. A first-come, first-served basis will apply to the eight units. If you are interested in taking advantage of this opportunity, please email oris.pcc(a)uleth.ca promptly, as this allocation terminates in March 2026. All the best in your research.
