Description
The Killam Research Fellowships are release time awards that provide support to scholars of exceptional ability who are engaged in research projects of broad significance and widespread interest within the disciplines of the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, health sciences, engineering, or studies linking any of these disciplines. The Canada Council does not wish to specify or exclude any areas of research at this time.

Killam Research Fellows are expected to continue contribution to the Canadian research community after they have completed their fellowship project. To be eligible, the applicant must be a Canadian citizen or have permanent resident status, as defined by Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
