• Are employed at a Canadian research institution.

Note that Dorothy Killam Fellowship applications must now be preceded by a preliminary research abstract (150 words max.). The deadline for the preliminary research abstract is April 30, 2025.

Between 5 and 8 fellowships will be awarded annually.Ìý

It is key to note that Dorothy Killam Fellowship funding ($80k/yr. x 2 years). is not to be used to pay for the direct costs of executing the proposed program of research but must instead be used to release the pilipiliÂþ»­ful Fellow from all teaching and administrative responsibilities.
