DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce an extension of the application peri
 od for the NSERC-CREATE Masters and PhD Training Programs in Integrated Se
 nsor Systems (ISS).  Applications for Fall 2013 AND Winter 2014 training\,
  awards and award extensions must be submitted in full by May 26th\, 2013.
   \nApplication forms and complete information can be found on the ISS web
 site (www.mcgill.ca/miam/iss).\nThe Program\nISS is an inter-university tr
 aining program designed to help motivated graduate students in the area of
  Integrated Sensor Systems prepare for successful careers in related indus
 tries. These can include sensors for biomedical and healthcare application
 s\, aerospace\, automotive\, agriculture and the environment. \nThe ISS Tr
 aining Program includes hands-on workshops\, seminars\, training in busine
 ss and management skills\, industry internships and international exchange
 s. We also provide all students in the program with Travel Awards of up to
  $5\,000 to facilitate the exchanges and internships.  Those who qualify m
 ay also be offered student funding awards. \nMost activities are held at t
 he downtown McGill campus\, but some workshops and event rotate to the oth
 er universities\, and we now offer online options for weekly \nISS Masters
  Awards and PhD Fellowship Awards\nNew Masters and PhD students may apply 
 for up to 2 years of funding of $8\,650 and $10\,500 respectively with 50%
  supervisor matching (i.e. $17\,000 or $21\,000 per year).  Students with 
 other awards may also receive top-up awards according to our External Awar
 ds policy.\nCurrent ISS Students without an award may apply for up to 1 ye
 ar of funding.  Likewise\, PhD students who have completed 2 years in the 
 program may apply for one additional year of funding.\nNote: All funding i
 s conditional on continued participation in ISS training activities and wo
 rkshops and on satisfactory standing in the student’s program.  \nISS Stud
 ents\nStudents may come from any department or faculty at McGill\, INRS\, 
 Université de Sherbrooke or Ecole Polytechnique.  Projects must include a 
 strong interdisciplinary and inter-laboratory approach.\nOur students have
  a wide range of backgrounds\, including physics\, chemistry\, mechanical\
 , electrical and biomedical engineering\, but are all working on sensors s
 ystems research. The Integrated Sensor Systems Training Program focuses on
  the design\, fabrication or testing of sensor devices\, the development o
 f materials that are required for sensors\, the processing of signals obta
 ined from sensors\, sensor integration and packaging. Special emphasis is 
 placed on the research involving minimization\, packaging and the use of m
 icro and nano technologies for sensing.\nThis program is a training progra
 m which is intended to assist students who are undertaking Masters or PhD 
 research in integrated sensor systems. We do not supervise research (since
  that is done by your existing supervisor) but rather provide hands-on tra
 ining in a range of different topics that support integrated sensor system
  research and professional development.\nSupervisors\nWe invite supervisor
 s who are working in areas related to integrated sensor systems to join th
 e ISS Network to have their names listed on the ISS website along with lin
 ks to their personal research to attract interested students.  We also lik
 e to encourage them to share their research and knowledge with the group a
 t our monthly Seminar series and to get involved with our developing indus
 try and academic network.\nFor more details please visit the ISS Website o
 r apply now at www.mcgill.ca/miam/iss/apply.\nPlease feel free to contact 
 us if you have any questions\,
