One of our central missions is the support of research method training for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. In 2025 the Centre received 5 applications for methods training support and awarded 4 Methods Training Grants totalling $12,575. The CSDC continues to offer grants for 2026 to attend intensive methods training programs. They may also support participation in non-methodological summer schools if the applicant can demonstrate that comparable training is not available in their region or surrounding area.<\/p>\n
While all graduate students and postdocs can apply,<\/em> the\u00a0guidelines give priority to PhD applicants who have not received a method training grant in previous years<\/em>. The grants will be awarded on a competitive basis and funding may be apportioned depending on the number of successful applicants.<\/p>\n All applicants are strongly advised to carefully read and follow the instructions and requirements outlined in the Guidelines.<\/p>\n Research training is an important mission for the CSDC. The goal of this competition is to bring an added-value to the training opportunities already available to its students and postdoctoral members in their institution, and to support excellence in scientific research.<\/p>\n February 15, 2025<\/p>\n All CSDC graduate students and post-doctoral fellows are eligible for funding, however,\u00a0priority will be given to applications from PhD students who have not received a method training grant in previous years.<\/em><\/p>\n The grants will be exclusively funding\u00a0summer<\/strong>\u00a0training courses. Winter Schools are not eligible for funding.<\/p>\n Some local training courses such as summer school of the Quebec Inter-University Center for Social Statistics (QICSS) are eligible (https:\/\/www.ciqss.org\/en\/qicss-summer-school<\/a>\u00a0).<\/p>\n The CSDC is also a partner supporting the \u00c9cole interdisciplinaire outils et m\u00e9thodes (\u00c9IOM) at Universit\u00e9 Laval.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>The \u00c9IOM is not an eligible summer school for the CSDC Methodology Grant. The CSDC offers a specific scholarship competition for the \u00c9IOM.<\/em><\/p>\n The maximum $ 3,000 is only available for programs that last 3 weeks or more. Shorter programs will receive\u00a0up to<\/strong>\u00a0$ 1,500 for one-week courses, and $ 2,250 for two weeks.<\/p>\n Please note that meals (per diem or receipt) are not admissible expenses for the methods training grant.<\/em><\/p>\n A full application consists:<\/p>\n Candidates considering participation in the ICPSR summer program are strongly encouraged to apply, if eligible, for an ICPSR scholarship.<\/em>\u00a0Empirical Implications for Theoretical Models (EITM) Scholarship, and\/or Janet Box-Steffensmeier and John A.

It should be recognized that the CSDC has a limited amount of funds and, although applications may have merit, there may not be sufficient funds to award all such applications.<\/p>\n Award recipients may be asked to share new insights with the greater CSDC member and student community during one of the CSDC events (e.g., the Montreal Method Workshop Series, the Winter Method School organized by the CSDC Graduate Students Committee).<\/p>\n In order to maintain the principle of fairness to all applicants, policies must be adhered to in the preparation of Methods Grant applications. Non-adherence to the Policies will lead to rejection (without appeal) of the application.<\/p>\n The payment requests have to be submitted within four (4) weeks after the methods course has finished.<\/p>\n A payment request consists of:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em>Note: To receive CSDC funding, you must have a fully updated (with a photo) profile on the CSDC WEB site.<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\nObjective :<\/strong><\/h4>\n
