Establishment

Establishment grants are intended to allow recently recruited faculty members in the Province of Manitoba to focus on research and to establish their research programs.

These awards will provide up to $100,000 to be used within a three year period, subject to Council approval, for a variety of purposes such as the purchase of equipment and supplies, buy-out of teaching time, and salaries of research personnel (other than the applicant's salary), etc.
