Funding Your Research

Internal Funding Opportunities

Earlier this year, the OVPRI launched a revised suite of internal funding programs to support faculty in advancing their research and pursuing external funding opportunities.

These programs are the result of a recent review of our internal funding portfolio. The aim of the new suite of programs is to create a more streamlined and accessible suite of supports that will be easier to navigate and will better align with evolving faculty needs and UTM's broader research and innovation priorities.

These should be considered pilot programs, and after the completion of the first cycle we will be seeking feedback from faculty to help us refine and improve them. Click through for details about each program, including eligibility and application timelines.

Should you have any questions about these programs, please contact our team at funding.ovpri.utm@utoronto.ca.
