Recent Changes Initiated by the Canada Research Chairs Program – May 11, 2026
The Canada Research Chairs Program (CRCP) has implemented the following change relating to Tier 2 Canada Research Chairs eligibility.   The 10-year window of eligibility of candidates is now set from the date of the nominee’s first independent research post, rather than the date they gained their highest degree.  This rule came into effect after the April 2026 CRC submission deadline.   There is a 12-month transition period where applicants, who have applied to a CRC position prior to April 2026, may be considered under existing eligibility requirements or the new eligibility requirement.
