Canada Impact+ Research Training Awards (CIRTA) Wave 2 ? Deadline May 13, 2026 Date: April 23, 2026 at 1:43:11?PM ADT To: Sandy Bennett ~ Sent on behalf of Graham Gagnon, Vice President Research and Innovation: Dear Colleagues, Please distribute the following call to your faculty members. The Tri-agencies have launched Wave 2 of the Canada Impact+ Research Training Awards (CIRTA) program to recruit top doctoral students and postdoctoral scholars to Canadian institutions. This is a one-time program with two intakes. This initiative supports talent development in strategic research areas critical to Canada?s innovation and growth. Dalhousie has been allocated 4 doctoral and 3 postdoctoral nominations. To maximize our allocation and ensure strong submissions, we are inviting faculty members to identify eligible candidates and submit nomination packages through ROMEO, for receipt by ORS on or before May 13, 2026. Researchers are reminded to please consider the time required for Department/Faculty approvals to ensure the submission is received by ORS by the May 13 deadline. An interdisciplinary committee will review submissions and select nominations to forward to the Tri-agencies by the first intake deadline of June 4, 2026. Program Highlights * Award Values: * Doctoral: $40,000/year for up to 3 years * Postdoctoral: $70,000/year for up to 2 years * Eligibility: * Nominators: Must be the PI of an active eligible Tri-agency grant (April 2025?March 2027) and be eligible to supervise doctoral students and/or postdocs. * Nominees: Must currently be outside Canada and not affiliated with a Canadian institution. * Important: All Canada Impact+ Research Training Awards must be activated by March 31, 2027. * Full eligibility details can be found on the CIRTA program Q&A page. * Priority Research Areas: These awards will support research in the following priority areas: * Advanced digital technologies (AI, quantum, cybersecurity) * Health, including biotechnology * Clean technology and resource value chains * Environment, climate resilience, and the Arctic * Food and water security * Democratic and community resilience * Manufacturing and advanced materials * Defence and dual-use technologies Internal Process * Deadline for Dalhousie submission: May 13, 2026 (via ROMEO) * One nomination per faculty member (PhD or Postdoc) * Researchers who were awarded a nomination in Wave 1 are not eligible for Wave 2. * Researchers who have requested to carry over a nomination from the February CIRTA intake are not eligible to submit an additional nomination. * Required documents: * Nominator: Completed intake form (attached). The form must identify an eligible Tri-agency grant, outline the trainee research plan, indicate alignment with priority areas, and include a statement of nominator support. * Nominee: CV, proof of PhD completion (postdoctoral nominees) or transcript (doctoral nominees). Please upload all required attachments as a single pdf to ROMEO. An interdisciplinary committee will select nominations to forward to the Tri-agencies by June 4, 2026. Please note that early engagement with Research Security is required for this competition. Research Security and Immigration Considerations Before identifying nominees, please review the following: * Research Security: If your research is subject to the STRAC policy or involves sensitive technology areas, nominees must comply with federal requirements. Candidates with active affiliations or support from Named Research Organizations must terminate these relationships before joining any research team supported by grants under STRAC. Dalhousie?s Research Security team will review all nominees for compliance. Questions can be directed to responsibleresearch at dal.ca. * Immigration Timelines: While Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) aims to process PhD study permits within 14 days, additional security screening can significantly extend timelines. This risk is higher for research in sensitive areas or candidates with prior affiliations to institutions on the Named Research Organizations list. Early planning and awareness are essential to avoid delays. Next Steps: * Identify a prospective PhD student or postdoctoral scholar who meets the eligibility criteria. * Prepare and submit the nomination package (see attached form) via ROMEO for receipt by ORS on or before May 13, 2026.
