Students and postdocs recipients of CSDC grants – 2020-2021
The CSDC Grant and Awards Program is designed to promote new collaborations among its members and students, particularly new interdisciplinary initiatives, to pilot new ideas and projects and to support student research and training.
Postdoctoral fellowship program
To fulfill one of the central tenets of its mission, to train the next generation of academic leaders, the CÉCD held a competition for a postdoctoral stipend in Spring 2021. An international committee reviewed 4 applications. Two applications were evaluated as fundable and the CÉCD Steering Committee approved funding for 1 stipend.
| Name | Title | University | Supervisor | Amount ($) |
| Alexandre Rivard | How does the presence of non-independence-seeking regional defense parties affect the emergence and success of independence-seeking parties? And how does the presence of both defence- and independence-seeking-parties structure electoral competition? | U. Laval | Marc-André Bodet | 45 000 $ |
CAnD3 – CSDC Fellowship
The CSDC, in association with the Consortium on Analytics for Data-Driven Decision-Making (CAnD3), agreed to fund a methodological training grant every year between 2020 and 2024. In 2021, the CSDC and CAnD3 received 3 strong applications. The Steering Committee approved the funding of Jennifer Suliteanu, student in psychology at McGill.
The CSDC is very happy and proud that CAnD3 decided to fund the two other applications.

Method training Grant
One of our central missions is the support of research method training for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. The CSDC supports summer schools, granted that these schools are not available at a local institution in the fall or the winter.
Moreover, the CSDC created a partnership with the École interdisciplinaire outils et méthodes (EIOM). The EIOM is the most important francophone summer school dedicated to empirical research methods. For 10 method grants, the Steering Committee offered $ 5.000.
