The Atlantic Indigenous Mentorship Network is aware that the current COVID-19 pandemic may be impacting our trainees and early career investigators in a variety of ways. This Emergency Relief Bursary is for trainees (this includes Undergraduates, Masters, PhD, and Post-Doc students), along with Early Career Investigators who have been impacted by the current COVID-19 Pandemic. Students who are already enrolled in a program or are accepted into a program for Winter 2021 are eligible to apply. Funding amounts between $500-$1,000 (amount awarded will depend on the number of applicants) are available for Indigenous trainees and early career investigators who express a need through the current pandemic. Priority will be given to individuals who are undertaking Indigenous health research that serves to benefit Indigenous communities in Atlantic Canada. Limited funds are available.

 

*This funding can be used for but is not limited to: necessities to support housing and subsistence, academic enrolment, home office or technology, childcare, acquiring and/or caring for a pet, registration costs for any personal support resources such as wellness, mental health, and physical activity workshops, or learning courses including traditional language or craft classes.
