• Inclusive collaborator
• Barrier breaker
• Research leader

The Dorothy Killam Fellowships support scholars who:

• Demonstrate commitment to building Canada鈥檚 future and alignment with Killam attributes
• Are mid-career researchers who usually completed their PhD no more than 15 years prior, though special circumstances may result in applicants being more or less than 15 years post-PhD.
• Are employed at a Canadian research institution.

Note that Dorothy Killam Fellowship applications must now be preceded by a preliminary research abstract (150 words max.). The deadline for the preliminary research abstract is April 30, 2025.

Between 5 and 8 fellowships will be awarded annually.听

It is key to note that Dorothy Killam Fellowship funding ($80k/yr. x 2 years). is not to be used to pay for the direct costs of executing the proposed program of research but must instead be used to release the successful Fellow from all teaching and administrative responsibilities.
