Description
The Globalink Research Award (GRA) enables full-time senior undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows to undertake collaborative research projects either abroad or in Canada. The program is designed to foster international research partnerships under the joint supervision of a home and host professor, with a focus on building global innovation capacity and enhancing researcher skills. The GRA offers two streams: the Allocation stream (with a set number of internships per participating Canadian university) and the Quantum stream (open to all Canadian universities for quantum research projects, with no project limit).
