Graduate Student Grant Writing Assistant Expression of Interest (EOI)
Deadline: March 15, 2024

The aim of this opportunity is to train and fund graduate students and graduate student alumni, who are within 1 year of graduating from their graduate program, interested in assisting researchers with their Tri-Agency research grant applications throughout the grant writing process.

Graduate Students who submit this EOI will be invited to attend the Graduate Grant Writing Assistant Training Program. When the training has been completed, participants meet with a Research Office Program Officer to demonstrate their understanding of the training curriculum. This program is mandatory and will need to be completed before a graduate student is matched with a researcher to support them in writing a grant. If matched, graduate students will start supporting the writing of a grant application in the Summer or Fall 2024, depending on the grant.

Graduate students will be paid up to $1,500 for up to 60 hours of work. This includes 15 - 20 hours of training.
