Tri-Agency - Special Response Fund for Trainees (Ukraine)
Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC)
The Special Response Fund for Trainees (Ukraine) is administered by Canada’s three federal research funding agencies – the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) – and provides relief and assistance to graduate students and postdoctoral researchers directly impacted* by the Russian regime’s invasion of Ukraine.
* Direct impact is defined as
- a trainee who was expected to return to Ukraine in 2022 but cannot because of the current crisis; or
- a trainee who cannot continue their planned course of studies or research in Ukraine because of the crisis and is now in Canada
