The Canada Research Chairs Program (CRCP) stands at the centre of a national strategy to make Canada one of the world’s top countries in research and development. It invests approximately $311 million per year to attract and retain a diverse cadre of world-class researchers, to reinforce academic research and training excellence in Canadian postsecondary institutions.
Chairholders aim to achieve research excellence in engineering and the natural sciences, health sciences, humanities, and social sciences. They improve our depth of knowledge and quality of life, strengthen Canada’s international competitiveness, and help train the next generation of highly skilled people through student supervision, teaching, and the coordination of other researchers’ work.
All proposals are to be submitted via email to RIS (ris@mun.ca) and must be received by 4:00 pm on October 1, 2026. All applicants will normally be notified via email of the results within 4 -5 weeks of the internal deadline.
If you have any questions about this Call, please contact Research Initiatives & Services (RIS) at ris@mun.ca
