The Tri-Agency announced in March 2025 that the current Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships (results announced mid-February 2025) will be the final competition cycle for the program. A new, harmonized postdoctoral fellowship program called the Canada Research Training Awards Suite (CRTAS) will replace pre-existing postdoctoral programs.

The CRTAS programs will be open to domestic and international applicants. Up to 20% of all postdoctoral awards will be awarded to international applicants.

More information about the fellowship programs will be made available to institutions and applicants in summer 2025. For more information, please see the Tri-Agency’s press release.
