CAMCCO-L bursary

Call for applications for the CAMCCO-L 2026–2027 cohort, a one-year transdisciplinary training program in perinatal research and maternal–fetal health.

This opportunity is aimed at MSc students, PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and early-career researchers working in maternal health, fetal health, infant health, obstetric medicine, developmental toxicology, or related therapeutic research areas.

The program includes a structured 1-year curriculum (October 2026–2027), mentorship from international experts, webinars, journal clubs, scientific training, an in-person summer school, and participation in the annual scientific meeting. It is designed to strengthen research capacity and support collaboration in perinatal science.

CAMCCO-L also offers bursaries for the cohort: CAD 8,000 for master's students, CAD 10,000 for PhD students, CAD 20,000 for postdoctoral fellows, and CAD 8,000–20,000 for visible or ethnic minority individuals and Canada's Indigenous peoples, with a mandatory matching contribution from the research director. The virtual courses are free of charge.

Eligibility is limited to applicants enrolled in a Canadian university graduate program (MSc/PhD), postdoctoral fellows, or early-career researchers affiliated with a Canadian institution, and applicants must be conducting therapeutic research in the specified perinatal and maternal-fetal fields. Applicants must also commit to the full curriculum requirements, including required modules, live attendance, journal club, self-evaluation portfolio, and conference presentation.
