DESCRIPTION:Please note that as of April 16th\, 2025\, Mitacs and NSERC hav
 e made modifications to the Alliance-Mitacs Accelerate Joint Program. Thes
 e include the immediate introduction of a new 2-part streamlined joint app
 lication process and changes to the funding model for 2026. Further detail
 s are provided below.\n\nMore information and guidance will be shared at t
 he Mitacs-led information session being held on Thursday June 5th from 3:0
 0-4:00 p.m. (E.T.) \n\nRegister Here\n\n \n\n1) Application Process\n\nKey
  points of the new application process:\n\n\n	Applications must follow the 
 new 2-part process.\n	Part 1 of the new application must be submitted along
 side the NSERC Alliance application\, with Mitacs accessing and validating
  the materials during the NSERC review stage.\n	Part 1 will include the gen
 eral project information and details on the internships and hiring strateg
 y\, but it will no longer encompass the technical content of the proposal
 \n	If approved for funding by NSERC\, applicants will need to submit to Mit
 acs an unedited copy of the Mitacs Part 1 along with a copy of the NSERC n
 otice of award.\n	Part 2 of the process will include a technical proposal t
 o be submitted to Mitacs for review and approval. The intern activation ca
 n only proceed after NSERC has approved the project for funding.\n	New appl
 ication forms will be used for both Part 1 and Part 2 of the application p
 rocess.\n\n\nWe strongly encourage applicants planning joint NSERC + Mitac
 s projects in the coming year to contact their Mitacs Advisor early to und
 erstand the new process and obtain the updated forms.\n\n2) Funding Model
 \n\nEffective as of April 1\, 2026\, partner funds can no longer be used t
 o meet the matching requirements of both Mitacs and NSERC for new applicat
 ions. Partners will be required to provide funds separately towards both M
 itacs and NSERC programs. Ongoing internship units approved before the dea
 dlines for submission of Part 1 and Part 2 with this new process will not 
 be impacted by this funding change.\n\nFor researchers willing to submit a
  proposal under the current funding model\, please take into account some 
 important dates determined by Mitacs:\n\n\n	December 19\, 2025: Deadline to
  submit to Mitacs the NSERC notice of award and the unedited Part 1 using 
 current funding rules (joint cost-sharing).\n	March 4\, 2026: Deadline to s
 ubmit Part 2 (intern activation) under current funding model.\n\n\n \n\nMc
