Mitacs Plus: new portal available for Accelerate applications

Mitacs Plus (https://www.mitacs.ca/what-is-mitacs-plus/) is Mitacs' new self-serve application portal designed to improve how you submit and manage projects, access program funding, and collaborate with partners.

Built to support a more streamlined digital experience, the platform provides greater visibility into your applications, enables real-time status tracking, and simplifies how you manage changes and navigate each stage of the process.

At this stage, new Mitacs applications must meet the following criteria to be able to go through Mitacs Plus:

• Apply under the Mitacs Accelerate program, excluding Accelerate Entrepreneur and Accelerate Umbrellas

• Possess only a single academic supervisor

• Possess only a single partner organization (multiple contacts within the single partner are allowed)

• Be intended for interns who are actively registered at their institution; recent graduates are not currently supported on the portal

• Utilize a $15,000 CAD or $20,000 CAD per unit funding model. (The $20,000 CAD per unit funding model is only available to postdoctoral fellows)

• Can use the four-month or six-month internship unit (IU) model

• Not be intended as a joint application with other programs (e.g., NSERC)

• Applications can be submitted in English or French

Mitacs Plus will eventually expand to include all of our funding streams and program offerings.

All applicants must meet the basic eligibility criteria for the Mitacs Accelerate program to be eligible for funding. Please review this criteria prior to applying.
