Canopy Research Scholarship 2026

The Canopy Research Scholarship is a Canada-based research support opportunity for graduate students whose work focuses on One Health and emerging zoonoses. Based on the referenced posting, the programme is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and is designed to help build a strong interdisciplinary community of practice around complex health issues that connect humans, animals, and environments.

This scholarship is intended for students who are currently enrolled in a Masters or PhD programme in Canada. It welcomes applicants from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds, including natural sciences, health sciences, public health, social sciences, policy, Indigenous knowledge systems, humanities, and the arts, provided their research relates to One Health and emerging zoonoses.

The award offers a research grant of 5,000 Canadian dollars together with non-financial benefits such as specialized One Health training, mentorship, and networking opportunities. The referenced information does not indicate that it includes tuition coverage or a full living stipend, so students should view it primarily as a research support and professional development scholarship rather than a full-cost award.

Priority consideration is given to Indigenous applicants, including First Nations, Inuit, and Métis students, reflecting the programme’s commitment to inclusion and diverse knowledge systems. The scholarship is suitable for students undertaking interdisciplinary research that addresses zoonotic disease challenges through collaborative and cross-sectoral approaches.

Applications are generally submitted through the programme’s own process when calls open for a new cohort. Interested students should monitor official Canopy or partner announcements and prepare evidence of current Canadian graduate enrolment, research alignment with One Health and emerging zoonoses, and any supporting materials requested in the call.
