Background<\/h3>\n

The objective of this scholarship program is to support team-oriented research projects between Canadian and Brazilian universities in key areas of mutual cooperation.<\/p>\n

Opportunity<\/h3>\n

The Canada-Brazil Awards-Joint Research Projects provide scholarships for exchanges of researchers and graduate students in support of reciprocal, team-based research projects between Canadian and Brazilian universities in key areas of mutual cooperation.<\/p>\n

Canadian professors who will take on the role of Project Lead are invited to submit applications for projects that engage in collaborative research in key academic areas of bilateral cooperation leading to an eventual publication.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian Project Lead will need to apply directly to CAPES, using the application forms and program guidelines issued by their government. This same competition is also expected to be launched in Brazil shortly. Interested Canadian institutions are encouraged to contact potential Brazilian partners before the end of December to establish communication before the Brazilian summer.<\/p>\n

The partners must complete the two-stage online application process by the stated deadline.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Canadian lead-professor must complete and submit the\u00a0DFATD\u00a0online application form and upload the supporting documents as requested.<\/li>\n
  2. The Brazilian lead-professor must complete and submit the\u00a0application to the Federal Agency for Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education (CAPES) per its requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Eligibility<\/h3>\n

    This competition is open to research teams from Canadian and Brazilian universities. The coordination of the project will be the responsibility of both the Canadian and Brazilian Project Leads and the teams will consist of graduate project members from Canadian institutions and PhD project members from Brazilian institutions.<\/p>\n
