RESULTS: 2026 CRIR Graduate Scolardships

 

The scientific direction of the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation of Greater Montreal (CRIR) is awarding 10 scholarships to CRIR student members for a total of $129,000.

The CRIR administration offers a limited number of scholarships each year. This year, scholarships were awarded to CRIR student members pursuing master’s degrees in research ($8,000) and doctoral degrees in research ($15,000).

As part of the 2026 competition, more than thirty applications were carefully assessed by the scientific evaluation committee, comprising 14 members of the CRIR (13 regular researchers and one postdoctoral fellow). The high standard of the applications received enabled the committee to recommend the award of 10 research grants.

CRIR’s Scientific Directorate is therefore pleased to present the 2026 recipients!
