CAMCCO-L bursary 2026

The CAMCCO-L bursary is part of the CAMCCO-L training cohort in perinatal research and maternal-fetal health. It is designed to support researchers in Canada who are building expertise in therapeutic research related to maternal, fetal, and infant health, including areas such as obstetric medicine, developmental or fetal toxicity, and teratology.

The programme is open to master's students, PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and early-career researchers affiliated with Canadian institutions. In addition to bursary funding, participants join a structured one-year transdisciplinary training programme that includes mentorship from international experts, webinars, journal clubs, scientific skills development, an in-person summer school, and participation in an annual scientific meeting. The virtual training component is offered free of charge.

Based on the referenced posting, bursary amounts vary by level: master's students may receive CAD 8,000, PhD students CAD 10,000, and postdoctoral fellows CAD 20,000. Specific bursaries are also noted for visible or ethnic minority individuals and for Canada's Indigenous peoples, with funding varying by degree level. A matching contribution of at least the same amount from the research director is required.

To be considered, applicants generally need to be enrolled at a Canadian university in a relevant graduate programme, be a postdoctoral fellow, or be an early-career researcher with a recent MSc, PhD, or MD and affiliation with a Canadian institution. Applicants should be conducting relevant therapeutic research in perinatal or maternal-fetal health fields. Candidates should consult the programme's current call materials and application instructions for the exact process and supporting documents.
