Call for Applications: Jacobs CIFAR Research Fellowship, 2027-29, Deadline for submission: 2 February 2026 at 12 p.m. EDT
The Jacobs Foundation is pleased to announce the 2027-2029 Call for Applications for the Jacobs CIFAR Research Fellowship, a partnership between the Jacobs Foundation and the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR).
Formerly known as the Jacobs Research Fellowship, the program has been rebranded to reflect this new partnership, bringing together two global leaders in research and innovation.
This globally competitive program supports early- and mid-career researchers whose work advances understanding of how children and youth learn and develop across contexts and systems. Fellowships are awarded to highly talented and innovative scholars who have received their PhD within the past 10 years and who demonstrate the potential to bridge disciplines and connect research to practice and policy.
Funding is awarded directly to the fellow’s host institution and may be used over a three-year period to cover a portion of salary and support for research activities, such as personnel, equipment, professional travel, or trainee support. In addition to independent research funding, fellows benefit from a dynamic community of peers and mentors. The program offers unique opportunities for collaboration within the Jacobs Foundation’s global network and through CIFAR’s international research leadership programs.
Deadline for submission: 2 February 2026 at 12 p.m. EDT
