About Us

Two positions awarded annually. To commence in the 2009/2010 academic year.

We have moved to rolling applications, so please feel free to submit proposals at any time, though once funding has been allocated for a particular year, your proposal will have to be considered in the following year. Speaking with a member of the IPinCH team before writing a proposal may clarify whether your goals and objectives dovetail with IPinCH aims.

See the Terms of Reference to learn more about this category, and how to apply for it.

The same IPinCH Associate Annual Report Template is used for Graduate Student Associates, Post-doctoral Associates, and Scholar Associates.

The IPinCH Steering Committee is encouraging IPinCH Graduate Student Research Assistants, Fellows and Associates to attend academic conferences in their fields by awarding up to $250 towards travel costs.

As many as ten or more awards will be made annually.
