Canada Postdoctoral Research Award (CPRA) Application Lab: Writing a Compelling Research Proposal

​Planning to apply for the Canada Postdoctoral Research Award (SSHRC, NSERC, or CIHR)? Join this two-hour hybrid interactive workshop designed to help postdoctoral scholars develop strong, competitive proposals. We’ll break down the key components of a successful application, offer targeted strategies tailored to each agency, and explore what reviewers are really looking for. The session includes hands-on exercises and peer feedback to help you refine your project narrative, strengthen your research rationale, and clearly convey its impact.

​Whether you're just getting started or finalizing a draft, you’ll leave with practical tools, writing tips, and fresh insights to enhance your proposal.

​*While this workshop will focus on CPRA applications, the grant writing strategies and advice provided are applicable to a broad range of grants and fellowship opportunities. All postdocs preparing grant applications are welcome to attend
