The Mitacs Globalink Research Award provides $6,000 to conduct research projects at universities overseas (partner countries). Eligible research projects are to be conducted over a 12-24 week duration. Successful applications will include a strong statement on the 'benefits to Canada'.

Queen's may submit a limited number of applications to this program per year. Consequently the application is very competitive. All applications must be received by internal deadlines and receive institutional approval before submission to Mitacs.

Please contact Kelly Manuel (km270@queensu.ca) for details on Queen's deadlines, related processes, and anticipated costs.
