Canada Research Training Awards Suite Research Travel Supplements

The Canada Research Training Awards Suite - Research Travel Supplements (CRTAS-RTS) provide additional funding to active Tri-Agency master’s and doctoral award holders to help offset the costs of undertaking research travel within Canada or outside Canada for a defined period.

The CRTAS is administered by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and aims to support the next generation of innovators by providing funding and high-quality research training, cultivating research skills, fostering creativity and empowering awardees to make significant contributions to Canada’s research ecosystem, economy and prosperity.

Travelling outside of Canada: When students are planning travel outside of Canada for university purposes, they have obligations under UBC’s Student Safety Abroad Policy (SC12). Students are required to have adequate travel medical insurance, to register their travel on UBC’s Safety Abroad Registry, and to use the resources provided by UBC to support safe travel planning and risk management. In locations where the Government of Canada has official travel advisories in place, students are required to request High-Risk Authorization before travelling.  For more information, see: https://safetyabroad.ubc.ca/ or email safety.abroad@ubc.ca.
