Description
The Canada Research Training Awards Suite – Research Travel Supplements (CRTAS-RTS) provide additional funding to active master’s and doctoral award holders to offset research travel costs for a defined period. Administered by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), the supplements support research activities that relate to and enhance the recipient’s graduate studies.
The broader awards suite supports the next generation of innovators through funding and high-quality research training that cultivates research skills and creativity. Travel proposals describe the research objectives, methodology, expected outcomes, benefits of working with the host institution and supervisor, and timelines. The program aims to help awardees contribute to Canada’s research ecosystem, economy, and prosperity.
