Postdoctoral Award Database

AGE-WELL Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Awards in Technology and Aging provide partial funding to highly qualified master’s, doctoral and postdoctoral candidates and provide them with access to training and mentorship opportunities through the AGE-WELL Network of Centres of Excellence. AGE-WELL aims to provide a unique training environment that exposes trainees to multi-disciplinary research environments and to its industry and community partners.

AGE-WELL is committed to attracting, developing, and retaining outstanding Highly Qualified Personnel (HQP) in Canada. Eligible applicants are full-time graduate students and postdoctoral fellows enrolled at Canadian institutions.

The vision of ALS Canada is to achieve “a future without ALS”, and the vision of Brain Canada is “Bold science for brain health”. Both partners have a strong belief that it is crucial that promising doctoral and post-doctoral trainees are nurtured in the early stages of their careers, so they might strive to promote discovery and advancement. Attracting the brightest minds to ALS research will contribute to a succession plan for the Canadian ALS research community and will nurture and support innovative ideas and compelling breakthroughs across the spectrum of brain-related disease.

Qualifying trainees currently hold or have secured a postdoctoral position under the supervision of an investigator who holds an academic position at a qualifying Canadian institution, defined according to CIHR guidelines. Non-Canadians training in Canadian labs are eligible to apply, but if awarded, would need to demonstrate they are eligible to work/study in Canada for the duration of the requested funding. At the time of application, applicants should be transitioning from graduate work to a postdoctoral position or be within the first two years of postdoctoral studies. 

The Alzheimer Society Research Program is one of Canada's most innovative hubs for dementia research, helping the brightest minds in the field spark their work from idea to impact. Since 1989, we have invested over $83 million in grants and awards toward innovative dementia research nationally. The research must be conducted entirely in a Canadian university or affiliated institution. In other words, the investigator does not have to be a Canadian citizen, but the research must be done on Canadian soil.

The AACR-Sontag Foundation Brain Cancer Research Fellowship represents a joint effort to encourage and support a postdoctoral or clinical research fellow to conduct brain cancer research and to establish a successful career path in this field. The proposed project may be basic, clinical, translational, or epidemiological in nature and must have direct applicability and relevance to brain cancer.

The AACR Fellowships represent a joint effort to encourage and support postdoctoral or clinical research fellows to conduct cancer research and to establish a successful career path in the research fields of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, immuno-oncology, sarcoma, cancer disparities and more.

Basic Research Fellowships are two-year, $100,000 mentored grants supporting postdoctoral fellows who are conducting laboratory or field-based research projects that focus on brain tumors.

Fellows must have a lead mentor who currently conducts brain tumor research at the same academic institution. The mentor will help with scientific management and other research guidance to foster the applicant’s career advancement.

The purpose of the award is to promote the professional career development of postdoctoral fellows in the field of mass spectrometry. Applicants must be a member of ASMS.

Since 1985, the ASH Scholar Award has helped ease the transition between training and the establishment of an independent career in hematology research by providing partial salary or other support during that critical period. Applicants must submit proposals to conduct research in hematology. Be an ASH member in good standing at the time of the letter of intent deadline and plan to maintain membership for the duration of the award term.

Open to individuals with an academic appointment of fellow at accredited schools of medicine in the U.S. and Canada who propose to perform research in tropical infectious diseases. Designed to stimulate or sustain interest in research in tropical infectious diseases, this unique fellowship provides funding for physician-scientists to conduct research focused on infectious diseases of low and low-middle income countries.

Open to Full-time postdoctoral fellows (PhD, MD, DVM, degrees or the equivalent) with positions at accredited U.S. or Canadian institutions. ASTMH accepts applications from physicians and scientists for this international career opportunity focused on benefiting underserved populations in locations in the world where the burden of disease is high. The recipient will receive $25,000 in support for a six-month research experience in the tropics.
