Do you have an applied research project that could benefit from the support of an innovative intern, at a subsidized rate?

  • As a nonprofit national research organization with funding from the Government of Canada, provincial and territorial governments, participant organizations, academic partners and academic member fees, Mitacs injects funding, skilled talent, and collaborative partnerships into Canada’s innovation ecosystem. Mitacs offers a variety of different programs, but the two we will highlight include Accelerate and Elevate.
  1. Mitacs Accelerate

If you are a for-profit corporation, eligible not-for-profit corporation, municipality or hospital in Middlesex County looking for an eligible undergrad or graduate student or post-doctoral fellow to work on a research project, then the Mitacs Accelerate program might be for you. Accelerate allows you the opportunity to “solve your research challenges with academic expertise, leveraged funding, and one-to-one support from Mitacs. Internships start at four months and can scale up as much as you need”. For a four-month project, an organization’s financial contribution starts at $7,500, which Mitacs will match.
