APPLY NOW: Scotiabank Economic Resilience Research Fund

Mitacs has partnered with Scotiabank on a new initiative to help charities and not-for-profit organizations access our Accelerate program to fund research internships that increase the understanding of the factors that drive economic resilience in communities across Canada.

To further the understanding of economic resilience, Scotiabank and Mitacs have launched the the Scotiabank Economic Resilience Research Fund (SERRF). This $300,000 partnership over three years will support research to advance economic resilience in communities across Canada.

The SERRF has been launched to support research projects in three key focus areas that are central to the newly launched ScotiaRISE initiative:

Accelerate newcomer integration
Proposed research projects will target newcomers to Canada (in past three years) including immigrants, refugees, and temporary foreign workers to help fast track meaningful employment for newcomers to the country. Integration essentials might include: language, culture and life -skills, training help qualifying for and finding employment, and support networks.

Increase high school graduation and post-secondary participation in education
Proposed research projects will target disadvantaged populations, including Canadian Indigenous communities and at-risk youth to ultimately facilitate a higher rate of high school graduation and post-secondary participation. Post-secondary education is defined broadly, to include university, college, and trades program.

Remove barriers to career advancement
Proposed research projects will be targeted to support women, the BIPOC community (black, Indigenous and people of colour) and other equity- seeking groups (e.g., persons with disability, veterans, LGBTQ, etc.) to determine how to remove barriers to meaningful employment, reduce the gaps in leadership representation, and find solutions to career entry and advancement.

Successful projects will receive up to $16,250 in funding from Scotiabank and Mitacs to support a four to six month Mitacs Accelerate internship. This funding from the SERRF will reduce the required partner contribution to the project from $7,500 to $3,750.

Intern eligibility criteria

• Full-time graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at Mitacs partner colleges and universities in Canada
• Students must have a supervisor at their academic institution who is willing to supervise them on this project and administer the funds through the institution
• Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and international students over the age of 18
• All academic disciplines

This opportunity is time limited and interested projects must submit an Expression of Interest by February 11, 2021.
