CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholars Program

In plain language

Two-year, $100K unrestricted research award for early-career investigators (globally eligible, including Canada). Competition opens each fall with an early-November deadline. More than the money, scholars gain full access to CIFAR's interdisciplinary research programs (think-tank-style networks that shaped AI, quantum, etc. in Canada). MUN tenure-track faculty within the eligibility window should treat this as a high-prestige credential move, not just a grant.

Who qualifies

What you'll have to report

Participation in 2–3 CIFAR research program meetings per year; end-of-term outcomes report; knowledge mobilization activities.
