New Investigator Operating Grant

The New Investigator Operating Grant program is a peer-reviewed competition designed to help launch the careers of outstanding researchers entering their first academic appointment phase. These grants support Manitoba’s early-career researchers to achieve the research productivity and track record necessary for obtaining longer-term, more sustainable funding.  This investment is integral to supporting local talent development and a strong Manitoba research ecosystem.

New Investigator Operating Grants are two years in duration with the following maximum amounts:

• Health - $130,000 ($65,000/year)
• Natural Sciences and Engineering - $50,000 ($25,000/year)
• Social Sciences and Humanities - $40,000 ($20,000/per year)
