Special Notes
Applications must be submitted by individuals, and not by their institutions (however, applicants must obtain their approval).
The head of research administration at your institution, or another authorized delegate, must approve your final submission to confirm the institution’s awareness of the proposed research and its willingness to administer the award according to the terms set out by the Killam Program. By endorsing the application, the university or research institute confirms that you are employed and remunerated for your work. The online application instructions include detailed information about the requirements and process related to institutional authorization.
