D2R | DNA to RNA, the research initiative at McGill University that is taking an inclusive Canadian approach to genomic-based RNA therapeutics is offering two new funding opportunities:
Registration for the 10th and final HBHL Graduate Student Fellowships Program is now open!
Since 2017, HBHL has awarded over $6.7M to fund 321 Fellowships across nine competitions. The HBHL Graduate Student Fellowships Program seeks to attract, train and retain top graduate students from diverse disciplines and around the world to participate in interdisciplinary research training opportunities in brain and mental health research, knowledge translation/mobilization and innovation.
Approximately 32 fellowships (PhD and Master's combined) will be awarded:
Unlock the potential for new interdisciplinary collaborations in Cognitive Neuroscience research! CONNECT is back with funding to support your innovative ideas and research partnerships, regardless of project stage.
Request for Applications (RFA):
This year's edition of the HBHL Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Fellowships Program has recognized the dedication and promise of 37 exceptional students. Master's students are awarded $10,000, while those pursuing their PhDs receive $15,000, providing crucial support for their research endeavors throughout the upcoming year.
The Research Group in Constitutional Studies is hoping to build a permanent endowment that will provide long-term funding for students.

Given the current situation around COVID-19, the McGill initiative in Computational Medicine (MiCM) Summer Scholars Program will be moving forward with some modifications. Students will only be hired if remote, work-from-home activity can also be supported. Moreover, we plan to deliver a modified version of our workshop series as an online series. Please anticipate some potential delays in start dates as new processes are deployed.
As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, please note that further changes to offers and programming may be forthcoming.
Launched in March 2019 with a call for initial proposals, the ResearchMatch program of the McGill initiative in Computational Medicine (MiCM) was developed in an effort to better connect life science and clinical researchers with colleagues focused on data sciences.
The McGill Sustainability Systems Initiative is looking for big ideas in sustainability research from McGill faculty members based in the social sciences and humanities.
Solutions to sustainability challenges require much more than technological innovation, as viable plans to achieve sustainability must also address social and economic factors and conditions. For example, shifting society towards a more sustainable path will necessitate new norms, attitudes, habits, laws, economic incentives or instruments and public policies.
With a total funding envelope of $1.65 million, the new HBHL International Partnerships Program supports large-scale, multi-year projects that build and advance partnerships with leading institutions that will help McGill University to:
- Compete with the best in the world for talent, for partnership opportunities, and to make breakthrough discoveries
- Seize emerging opportunities and strategically advance its greatest strengths on the global stage
- Implement large-scale, transformational and forward-thinking institutional strategies
Healthy Brains for Healthy Lives (HBHL) is pleased to announce the second round of its Innovative Ideas competition. The Innovative Ideas Program supports the exploration of novel ideas with the potential for breakthrough science. At least 8 projects will be awarded up to $200,000 over 2 years.
The deadline for submitting a Letter of Intent (LOI) is November 23, 2018, 5:00 pm EST
Consult the program description for more details.
Healthy Brains for Healthy Lives (HBHL), in conjunction with Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (GPS), is pleased to announce the launch of its Postdoctoral Fellowship Competition.
This competition aims to attract, train and retain top students at the postdoctoral level from across disciplines and around the world to participate in interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral research training opportunities related to brain and mental health research, knowledge translation/mobilization and innovation.
