Mitacs-CALAREO Globalink Research Award

The Mitacs-CALAREO Globalink Research Award (GRA) offers $6000 to students or postdocs for short-term research visits to or from the following Latin American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico. Carleton faculty can either send or host visiting researchers, as this is both an inbound and outbound program. For more information please visit the following page on our website: https://carleton.ca/ci/mitacs-calareo-globalink-research-award-gra/. This is an open call but the number of awards is limited.

Please note that as Carleton’s visiting researcher program remains suspended and travel for research is restricted, applications for this program are being accepted and reviewed with the understanding that travel will not take place until restrictions are lifted.
