Engaging the World

Anticipated deadline to MITACS current offer of enhanced leveraging is April 25, 2022. This is a provisional deadline based on the current demand, and it could change in case of high demand.

As a reminder, MITACS currently offers enhanced leveraging for its Accelerate program so that partner contributions are matched 3:1 by MITACS vs. the usual 1:1 match.

MITACS Accelerate https://www.mitacs.ca/en/programs/accelerate/proposal funding models for each 4-6 month internship are as follows:

• $10k option: $2,500 from the partner + $7,500 from Mitacs (full award paid to the intern)
• $15k option: $3,750 from the partner + $11,250 from Mitacs (intern receives $10k min, remainder available for research expenses)
• $20k option: $5,000 from the partner + $15,000 from Mitacs (intern receives $15k min, remainder available for research expenses)

Please note the following limitations of the enhanced leveraging:

• Partner organization (company or NFP) must have less than 500 employees to qualify
• While quantities last – deadline anticipated: April 25, 2022
• Interns must be named to qualify; discounts extend to TBD interns if they are named while the promotion is running

The enhanced leveraging applies to all internships that meet these criteria. 

If you have any questions about this opportunity, please contact Andrea Globa, MITACS Business Development Director, at agloba@mitacs.ca.
