Important update: The CIHR Doctoral Research Awards Program is no longer accepting applications. Please refer to the Canada Graduate REsearch Scholarships - Doctoral webpage for information on the new harmonized program.
As part of a larger harmonization of Tri-Agency graduate and postdoctoral funding programs, the CIHR Doctoral Research Awards and Doctoral Foreign Study Award programs will be folded into the Canada Graduate Research Scholarship – Doctoral (CGRS D) program effective for the fall 2025 competition. A significant change is that eligibility has been expanded to include international students who are enrolled in a doctoral program of study at an eligible Canadian institution at the time of application.

The information below is from the previous competition, provided here for reference.
