The Collaborative Research and Training Experience (CREATE) Program supports the training of teams of highly qualified students and postdoctoral fellows from Canada and abroad through the development of innovative training programs that:
- encourage collaborative and integrative approaches, and address significant scientific challenges associated with Canada?s research priorities; and
- facilitate the transition of new researchers from trainees to productive employees in the Canadian workforce. The training program's excellence in the full proposal will be assessed in relation to its: innovative, collaborative and integrative character; capacity to better prepare trainees for the workforce; and potential to support teams of outstanding students and postdoctoral fellows. |
