Other Funding

Other funding is also available for Canadian research and thesis projects from:

• Northern Scientific Training Program Administered with funds from the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, Ottawa which can be used for Sociocultural and linguistic research. The program supports scientific training provided by Canadian universities which gives advanced students professional experience in the North and encourages them to develop a commitment to northern work. The program aims to increase the number of graduate and senior undergraduate students in Canadian universities who have specialized in some aspect of northern scientific studies and who have northern research experience.
