This would include Adjunct positions in a research track for which the applicant is eligible to write a Grant-in-Aid (as a Principal Investigator). Must hold a PhD or equivalent degree.

Indirect Costs
0%
Project Duration
Four years and cannot be renewed for a second term.
Special Notes
A National New Investigator may not be in receipt of another major Personnel award (i.e. from another national funding agency) at the same time as holding a Personnel Award from HSF. Likewise, an awardee may not concurrently hold a Canada Research Chair and a HSF New Investigator award. In addition, an awardee may not hold two HSF Personnel Awards (national and provincial) concurrently. However, an awardee may accept supplemental funding (no greater than 50% of the value of the HSF award), if it is from a local or provincial funding source, providing it is not a HSF Provincial award.
Deadlines
If College-level review is required, your College will communicate its earlier internal deadlines.
