Description:

These awards, which are administered by the Canada Council for the Arts, provide support to scholars of exceptional ability who are engaged in research projects of broad significance and widespread interest. Killam Research Fellowships are intended for established scholars who have demonstrated outstanding research ability and who have published the results of their research in substantial publications in their field. Typically, the recipient of a Killam Research Fellowship is a full professor in a Canadian university.

Applicants must present a coherent project with a clearly stated objective and well-defined plan for reaching that objective. The award is not intended as a subsidy for the overall research or teaching program of a department, institute or centre, and it is not offered for work undertaken as part of a degree program.

Application Details:

The Killam Research Fellowships are awarded annually, on a competitive basis, to support scholars doing research in any of the following fields: - humanities - social sciences - natural sciences - health sciences - engineering - studies linking any of the disciplines within these fields.

There are no hard copy application forms: applicants must submit their requests through the Canada Council's online application system (killam.canadacouncil.ca). To gain access to the Internet form, applicants must send an email to the Killam Program (to killam@canadacouncil.ca) requesting a user name, password and personal identification number (PIN). (The Killam Program has the right to verify a potential applicant's eligibility before issuing a user name, password and PIN.) Applicants must submit their curriculum vitae through the Common CV website (www.commoncv.net). Applicants will be guided through this process when using the Killam Program online application system. The Canada Council will not accept bound materials (for example, stapled, cerlox bound or spiral bound) because they are difficult to copy and mail to selection committee members.

INDIRECT COSTS ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY THIS PROGRAM.

NOTE: Letters of Intent and Full Applications are to be processed through Research Development Services for institutional signatures, and are to be accompanied by a completed RDAF form (bearing applicant, Chair and Dean signatures). Requests for Institutional signatures should be received no less than 3 days prior to the posted Sponsor deadline.
