The Office of International Affairs (OIA) will coordinate the McMaster submissions in collaboration with the International Strategic Advisory Committee (ISAC). Interested McMaster faculty members are encouraged to follow the steps below. Joint applications from multiple McMaster Faculties are encouraged.
Global Affairs Canada has announced The Indo-Pacific Scholarships and Fellowships for Canadians, IPSFC, call for proposals to support eligible Canadian post-secondary academic institutions, university consortia and research organizations to award scholarships and research fellowships to graduate students, academics and researchers at their institutions to study or undertake research in the Indo-Pacific Region. The total funding available under this call for proposals is up to $10 million over three years, and individual projects may receive up to $520,000 in funding.
The IPSFC program will:
Study or research must be in line with Canada’s Indo-Pacific Strategy, including topics such as:
Indo-Pacific region
Host universities or research institutions must be based in one of the eligible countries and economies in the Indo-Pacific region, as defined by the Indo-Pacific Strategy:
McMaster University currently has existing agreements with Higher Education Institutions in the Indo-Pacific Region accessible here. If required, the OIA will support the establishment of new partnerships that are not already included in the list, identified by the applicants.
Note: Please consult the Government of Canada Travel advice and advisories (TAA) before applying as the list of eligible countries and economies may change as this program won’t fund proposals in countries or economies (or in regions of a country) where TAA advises to avoid all travel (red category) or non-essential travel in the country (orange category). For example, while included in the Indo-Pacific Strategy, this program will not fund travel to Myanmar or Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) due to current Government of Canada travel advisories.
Please note that the IPSFC will not fund scholarships or fellowships to the People’s Republic of China. For information on scholarship programs that include China, review the Canada-China Scholars Exchange Program.
