The British Academy in partnership with The Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR) has announced a call for applications to the CIFAR Global Scholars Program. This is a two-year opportunity (2026-2028) to collaborate and receive mentorship within a close-knit, interdisciplinary network of leading global researchers in a CIFAR research programme. One relevant programme is Child and Brain Development, where policy leaders in early childhood and health and CIFAR fellows in the programme are developing public policies and intervention programmes that address health disparities and improve children’s development, health, and well-being.

  • Amount: The Global Scholars Program provides 100,000 CAD in unrestricted research support. These funds can be used for research expenses, teaching release, student or postdoc support, conference travel, and more.
  • Deadline: 5 November 2025
