The Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships Program will be distinguished from existing postdoctoral fellowships programs by its emphasis on: the synergy between an applicant's individual merit and potential to launch a successful research-intensive career; and the host institution's commitment to the research program and environment with which the applicant is to be affiliated. An applicant's application to the Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships Program must be completed in full collaboration with the proposed host institution.

In other cases, host institutions will initiate this conversation with a potential applicant. Application process is initiated through the ResearchNet Application System with the CV data components created using the Common CV system.

Application Details:

Seventy fellowships will be awarded each year, divided evenly between Canada's three federal research granting councils, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. When the program is fully implemented, there will be 140 awards active at any one time. Canadian citizens, permanent residents of Canada and foreign citizens are eligible to apply to the Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships Program.

All applicants are encouraged to read carefully the eligibility section of the Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships Program Description to ensure that they meet the eligibility requirements before proceeding with an application to the program.
