Description
The Canada Impact+ Research Training Awards are designed to attract top-tier international PhD students—those not currently affiliated with a Canadian institution—to the University of British Columbia (UBC) for doctoral research. The program targets priority research fields including advanced digital technologies, health and biotechnology, clean technology, environment, food and water security, democratic resilience, manufacturing, and defence technologies. The awards are part of a national initiative funded by Canada’s Tri-Agencies (CIHR, NSERC, SSHRC) and administered at UBC through Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.
