Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact Mitacs for an administrative pre-review and feedback of their proposal draft a minimum of 7 days before the deadline date.  If you are working with a Mitacs Business Development Director, they may review your draft.  If you are not working with a Mitacs representative, you may send your proposal draft to accelerate(at)mitacs.ca  for informal review and feedback. Please consult the program guide to determine if your university is eligible.

A Mitacs-Accelerate PhD fellowship application consists of the following documents:

  • The completed Mitacs proposal. Proposals should be written in plain language but should also include relevant technical detail. All proposals must be submitted as a saved PDF.
  • The memorandum signed by all partners (the intern, academic supervisor, partner supervisor and a representative from the Office of Research Services*). The memorandum must be submitted as a scanned PDF or other image document.
    • *Academic supervisors must request approval from their Office of Research Services, and the approval signature must be included on the memorandum submitted with the proposal.  Please ensure you contact them prior to the Call for Proposals deadline date to determine if there are specific internal deadlines for their review and approval.
  • A current CV of the proposed intern (CV template is available for download from the Mitacs website).
  • Conflict of Interest Declaration form if applicable.  If you believe you have a Conflict of Interest to declare, please contact Mitacs at accelerate@mitacs.ca prior to finalizing the proposal.
