NSERC - Latest News - Launch of the new Harmonized Tri-agency Scholarship and Fellowship programs
As announced in Budget 2024, the scholarship and fellowship programs administered by the three federal research funding agencies – the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) – have been streamlined into a new harmonized talent program called the Canada Research Training Awards Suite (CRTAS) that will open for applications in summer 2025.

Amid academic chit-chat, a chilled glass of faluda is pure comfort. A delightful fusion of silky vermicelli, raisins, basil seeds, rose syrup, and creamy kulfi, garnished with nuts and strawberry sticks - both a dessert and a refreshment in one. Balancing academia with indulgence, one sip at a time.
