Funding Road Map

Name of Funding Organization:
The Arctic Institute of North America

Name of Grant/Scholarship/Program (if applicable):
AINA Grants-in-Aid

Type of Funding:
Grants to augment research.

Description:
“In 1994 a binational committee was established to administer the newly reinstated AINA Grant-in-Aid program. The committee accepts proposals for awards of $1000.00. Awards are aimed at young investigators, especially graduate students, to provide funding to augment their research.”

Funding may be used for travel, supplies, equipment and services but not for salary or wages.

Eligibility:
There is no specific eligibility criteria, except that you must be involved in research, either as a young investigator or graduate student. The AINA encourages applications that focus on the natural and social sciences in the North.

Specific focus on global health research?
The focus is on natural or social science research in the North, but certainly Indigenous health research is eligible for this award.

Application Process:
(Please see the AINA website for more detailed application information.)
You are asked to submit a proposal to the AINA (see the address below). It should not be longer than four pages, double-spaced, and should include introduction, objectives, methodology, proposed use for the award. An estimated budget should also be provided, and should include other potential and committed sources and amounts of funding.

Deadline:
February 1, but please check with the AINA to make sure that this hasn’t changed in future years.
