Funding, News and Announcements

The Canada-Brazil Awards for Joint Research Projects, which are funded in Canada by the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade & Development (DFATD) and administered by the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE), have just launched a call for proposals for 2018-20.

This awards scheme supports exchanges of graduate students in the context of team-based bilateral research projects, in any field, between Canadian and Brazilian universities.  The awards are thus aimed at encouraging research collaboration as well as graduate student mobility.  Funding may be awarded for up to two years (with a possibility of an extension for a further year, in exceptional circumstances), and will support the exchange of Brazilian and Canadian PhD students and Canadian Master’s students (maximum of five per year, from each country).  Funds are also available for short-term faculty visits by the Canadian and Brazilian faculty project leaders.

Note that at the time of application, there must be a formal Memorandum of Understanding or similar agreement in place, between the Canadian and Brazilian institutions.

Full details of this awards scheme, and links to the application form, can be found online here.

Any Dalhousie researcher intending to apply is asked to contact the International Research Facilitator (jennifer.morawiecki@dal.ca), for more information and support in preparing an application.

Deadline: 11 October 2017
