Mitacs Elevate

Solve your business challenges with a top-ranked research expert trained to address your business needs. Your financial contribution starts at $30,000 (standard Elevate)  per year or $40,000 (Thematic Elevate) per year. 

Mitacs Elevate is a postdoctoral fellowship with an exclusive professional development curriculum component. Fellows address complex challenges through:

• A two-year research project with a partner organization in need of high-level expertise
• A professional development curriculum that prepares Elevate fellows for success as leaders in research and industry

Fellows progress through the program in a cohort, giving them cross-disciplinary networking and peer-learning opportunities they might not have otherwise in their careers.

Over the two-year fellowship, fellows divide their time between their partner organization's project and academic institution-based research with their academic supervisor.

The Elevate Fall 2022 call will offer 2 award options: Standard ($60k) and Thematic ($80k).

• Mitacs Elevate is an attractive option for organizations seeking a recognized program to help them develop their research & development management capacity in-house with a minimal impact on their R&D budgets.
• By connecting organizations with a talented PhD graduate, the two-year fellowship encourages knowledge transfer of the fellow’s practical and professional skills to the organization.
• Concurrently, companies benefit from fellows’ creativity and fresh approach to current research challenges.
