Research Collaboration Fellowship

Poster for YCAR Research Collaboration Fellowship

The YCAR Research Collaboration Fellowship is aimed to promote intensive collaboration between a Faculty Associate of the Centre and a research collaborator at another research institution (university, NGO, etc.). The fellowship provides support for a collaborator, usually from Asia, to visit Toronto for the specific purpose of jointly working on a research proposal, project or publication.

The fellowship provides up to a maximum of C$15,000 in reimbursement for travel and accommodation expenses incurred by the research collaborator. Visiting researcher will usually spend one to three months in Toronto. YCAR provides the visitor with a desk and library access for the Fellowship’s duration. Preference may be given to applicants with existing collaborations at the time of application. 

Applications for a proposed visitor in the 2024–25 academic year are accepted until Monday, 03 June 2024 at 16:00 EDT and should be submitted by the YCAR Faculty Associate making the nomination, not the proposed visitor.

A complete application will consist of:

1) Current CV of both the Applicant and Research Collaborator (PDF)
2) A document (Word or PDF) that includes the following:

  • statement outlining the proposed collaborative work
  • details of the planned output that will result from the Fellowship
  • timeline of the proposed visit and output
