No separate deadline: support is tied to programme registration.

1. Apply for and be admitted to an eligible master's or doctoral programme in the health sciences or pure and applied sciences sectors at INRS.
2. No separate application form is needed; support is administered automatically through the student's registration each term.

If INRS funding is of equal or greater value, or longer duration, than external funding a student receives, the student may get supplementary INRS funding covering the difference, provided the two sources are coordinated. If the external funding is of greater value, the INRS funding is cancelled.
