CIHR Canada Graduate Scholarship Doctoral

Eligibility

• You must be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada or a Protected Person.
• You must have completed no more than 24 months of full-time study in your doctoral program by December 31 of the calendar year of application (no more than 36 months if transferred directly from a bachelor’s to a PhD or enrolled in a joint program).
• You should not have already received a doctoral-level scholarship or fellowship from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) or the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).

Application

* Concordia has an internal application deadline. Students registered in a Canadian university – including Concordia – during the calendar year (Jan 1 to Dec 31) of the application must apply by the internal deadline.

To apply to the CIHR Canada Graduate Scholarships (CGS D) program, you must create a CIHR PIN and complete and submit an electronic application on ResearchNET. You must identify Concordia University as your ‘Organization to award the degree’. Concordia's internal adjudication committee pre-selects applications to be forwarded to the national competition.

Disbursement process

The Tri-Agency Award Holder’s Guide requires that you remain registered and in good academic standing in your graduate program. Once Concordia University confirms this, recipients of Tri-Agency scholarships and awards will have their payments deposited to their student account five working days after DNE deadline each term.
