Funding, News and Announcements

Dalhousie University is invited to nominate candidates for the Bank of Canada's 2016 Fellowship Program.

The Bank makes two financial awards available each year to support high quality Canadian academic research related to its core responsibilities: monetary policy, currency, the financial system and funds management.

• The Fellowship Award provides annual funding of up to $90,000 to leading academic researchers for a term of up to five years.
• The Governor's Award provides annual funding of $25,000 for distinguished up-and-coming university researchers for a term of up to two years.

The Bank of Canada's goal for the program is to foster research excellence in key financial and economic topics in Canada, by promoting academic collaboration between the Bank and leading post-secondary institutions, and contributing to the education and development of Canada's researchers.

Universities may nominate one candidate per faculty or school (e.g., one nominee from the Business School and one from the Economics Department) for either of the awards. As it is common for recipients to be nominated several times before being selected, institutions are encouraged to consider re-nominating candidates whose applications were previously unsuccessful.

Highlights of the program are available in pdf format here.
Please see the Bank of Canada website for full details on eligibility requirements and the nomination process.

Nominations must be received by the Bank of Canada by 13 November 2015; award recipients will be announced in early April 2016.

The Bank of Canada values its relationship with academic institutions like yours. We look forward to receiving one or more nominations from you or your colleagues for these prestigious awards.
