In an effort to ease the burden of the conflict in Ukraine and provide support to Ukrainian and other impacted researchers, Genome Canada is offering a Ukraine Research Trainee Relief Program.
This new program will initiate or maintain the support of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers working on Genome Canada-funded projects who are directly impacted by the crisis in Ukraine. Please see the program website for details on funding amounts, eligibility, application process and application forms.
To apply, eligible Project Leaders must complete the application form and have it signed by the relevant institutional representative prior to submitting it to their regional Genome Centre. The regional Genome Centre will then review and sign the form before submitting to Genome Canada. If the Project Leader has—or expects to have—more than one graduate student or postdoctoral researcher supported by this relief program, one form should be submitted for each impacted individual.
Please contact Jordan Thomson, Vice-President, Strategic Partnerships and Programs, with any questions.
