Would You Fund It?: Fellowship Application Review

Would You Fund It? is finished for this academic year.

Funding your graduate program is stressful for many graduate students, but we have tools to help you succeed!

Would you Fund it? gives you the opportunity to have your project summary for your tri-agency (NSERC, CIHR, SSHRC) or provincial (FQRSC, FQRSNT, FQRSC) award application reviewed by a McGill professor. They will scan the document and provide feedback on structure, relevance, and language accuracy with suggestions on how to strengthen your draft. You have 25 minutes for a one-on-one consultation.

This year, consultations will be conducted in person on the following dates:

Space is very limited - first-come, first-served basis

• DATES TO BE ANNOUNCED FOR 2025

Reviewers will use the Research Proposal Checklist as a general guideline to evaluate your 2-page research proposal.

 WYFI is not a proofreading or editorial consultation. Thus, we would expect your proposal to be completed and reviewed by your supervisor before registering.
