Mitacs Elevate Transitions to New Accelerate Model for Postdocs

By April 30, 2025No Comments

As part of our ongoing commitment to strengthen and better align organizational priorities with our postdoctoral offerings, Elevate as a standalone program has been replaced with a postdoctoral funding model within Accelerate as of March 31st, 2025. To better align with research and industry needs, we are streamlining access and improving the postdoctoral program experience.

A new funding approach was launched on April 1, 2025, through the Mitacs Accelerate program. Postdoctoral fellows will be eligible for a $20,000 internship unit, with the potential to access up to $60,000 in Mitacs funding annually. This new model offers greater support in collaborative research opportunities between academia and industry.

Existing Elevate projects will continue until completion without changes.
