Accelerate Research Internships

Mitacs is pleased to announce that the Accelerate research internship program is now open to both for-profit businesses and not-for-profit (NFP) organizations (e.g., industry associations, charitable organizations and economic development organizations). An NFP partner can participate if its proposed project has a demonstrable economic or productivity orientation (e.g., creating new jobs; reducing costs of goods and services; increasing productivity in a process or industry).

Our standard funding model requires a partner contribution starting at $7,500 CAD per internship (4 or 6 months) which results in a $15,000 CAD research award. Of this award, the intern must receive a minimum $10,000 CAD stipend or salary.

Our Postdoctoral researcher funding model requires a contribution of $10,000 CAD per internship (4 or 6 months) which results in a $20,000 CAD research award. This funding model is only available to postdoctoral interns.
