Budget 2024 Press Conference, SOS Exec. Director Kaitlin Kharas: "Support Our Science is thrilled with Budget 2024’s significant new investments for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. " #SupportOurScience #Budget2024
Canadian innovation is our priority. Increased research funding will ensure our students, researchers, and institutions have the resources they need to lead the way for generations. Because, the science of today is the economy of tomorrow! pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-r…
First--congratulations to @SupportOurSci for their hard work paying off! That was a massive effort and the entire scientific community in Canada owes them a debt of gratitude. 1/n
.@Nature a weekly international journal publishing peer-reviewed research in all fields of science and technology just praised our historic investments in science: « Government budget includes more money for basic research and notable increases to postgraduate stipends. »

To learn why #Budget2024 is so important for Canadian researchers, read the #OpenAccess @OttawaSciPolNet report by @SLaframboise14 et al. ➡️ ow.ly/VLg550Rj8yK
A shout-out to the research community who came together and worked hard to build the case for investment in the people who make lifesaving, life changing and future building discoveries. Thank you to the government for listening.
Very important steps in better supporting graduate students and postdoctoral researchers with better funded scholarships and fellowships. Important next steps will be to raise equity for the rest of students who are supported by research grants.

I'm so happy about this, I could cry 😭. I was very fortunate to be awarded an @NSERC_CRSNG CGS-M award for 2023/24. I worked very hard on my application for two years to make it happen. But I also knew I could not live on $17,500 for a year. 1/n

Les investissement en recherche dans le budget fédéral 2024 représentent d'énormes gains pour la communauté étudiante ! Autant la valeur des bourses étudiantes que leur nombre sont bonifiés. Après 20 ans de statu quo, ça fait du bien !

@cathleencrudden There is a $1.8B increase to the base budget of Triagency grants over 5y. There is more to do, but these investments will benefit all students & are an important step in the right direction to #SupportOurScience
Fantastic news! Hopefully these numbers will be allowed in our grant applications as well. 🙏🏻🎉🤩 Our trainees ALL deserve this level of support. @physiologyuoft @uoftmedicine @researchuoft

Apparently there is an increase to base budgets for grants as well! Faculty–let's make sure this goes to increasing student salaries!
Superb! this is a small fraction of the graduate student cohort-now let's see what can be done for the rest of the students!

This is a good start.
Budget 2024 ups research grants by 3-8% 📈. This boost will help graduate students and postdoctoral scholars paid directly by their supervisors. #SOSBudget2024 🎓

First--congratulations to @SupportOurSci for their hard work paying off! That was a massive effort and the entire scientific community in Canada owes them a debt of gratitude. 1/n
@SupportOurSci I think we should be leveraging these wins that @SupportOurSci has brought--using them to advocate to institutions that their fellowships/scholarships need to be increased. And to NSERC to bring in minimum stipends on their grants (and adjust evaluation criteria accordingly). 6/n
Hard Agree. I'll be reducing the number of students that I support so that I can support them better. #HigherEd
Omg people complaining about paying students more. You may not be able to do it right away. Give as much as you can. Claw back on student # as they graduate. Yes, it will be hard. But its harder for them. You're not the one living in poverty.
We've gotten some harsh messages since Budget 2024. Please don't send hate to our team, esp. the grad students/postdoc members. A reminder that SOS unequivocally supports increased grants & understands how funding works. We're on the same team. - Courtney R (Dep. Director)
Omg people complaining about paying students more. You may not be able to do it right away. Give as much as you can. Claw back on student # as they graduate. Yes, it will be hard. But its harder for them. You're not the one living in poverty.
To learn why #Budget2024 is so important for Canadian researchers, read the #OpenAccess @OttawaSciPolNet report by @SLaframboise14 et al. ➡️ ow.ly/VLg550Rj8yK
It was time. It was late, but it is there now. Next step: increasing the DG grants so we can support more than a single MSc student per year. Thank you to @SupportOurSci @evoecolab @KirstyDuncanMP who have advocate and fought for this. You made a difference.
#Budget2024 💰 makes the largest investment in 20+ years for grad students & postdocs! It will support financial needs, boost mental well-being, allow focus on research, & promote diversity by easing barriers for underrepresented groups. 🎉💪🏽#SOSBudget2024
A shout-out to the research community who came together and worked hard to build the case for investment in the people who make lifesaving, life changing and future building discoveries. Thank you to the government for listening.
Very important steps in better supporting graduate students and postdoctoral researchers with better funded scholarships and fellowships. Important next steps will be to raise equity for the rest of students who are supported by research grants.
Superb! this is a small fraction of the graduate student cohort-now let's see what can be done for the rest of the students!
@OttawaSciPolNet @FP_Champagne Fingers crossed it actually happens
I'm so happy about this, I could cry 😭. I was very fortunate to be awarded an @NSERC_CRSNG CGS-M award for 2023/24. I worked very hard on my application for two years to make it happen. But I also knew I could not live on $17,500 for a year. 1/n
Budget win for @SupportOurSci ence —after 20 years of scholarship stagnation the government has finally agreed to allow our best and brightest grad students to live at or above the poverty line!
As the father of a current Ph.D. student I applaud this announcement and the advocacy of @SupportOurSci . Too late for this year's cycle, but great for the future.

Excellent news for the future of Canadian science. 👏 Let’s not wait another 2 decades+ to consider the next increase in support… index to inflation! 🇨🇦🔬🧫🧬
Important changes and welcome increases to student scholarships and postdoctoral fellowships. Looks like Banting and Vanier are going away.
@jwsimpsonUofT Yes, we noted the same thing. Details should be coming in the next few weeks, but we're paying keen attention to this -- hopefully, it means all scholarships/fellowships will be available to international students. Anything less is a step backwards.
Today, Canada are investing in graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. This important funding will improve many early career researchers' quality of life. Thank you @JustinTrudeau, @cafreeland, @FP_Champagne and @TurnbullWhitby for investing in research and it’s researchers.
We are thrilled that Canada will invest $825 million over the next 5yrs in #GradStudents and #Postdocs. Thank you to everyone for their collective efforts the last few years 🥳@SupportOurSci @JustinTrudeau @cafreeland @FP_Champagne Our full statement: bit.ly/3U3Wndy
As a corollary to today's news, I think that CIHR/NSERC/SSHRC grants should request the new stipend levels in the 2024 budget (MSc $27K, PhD $40K and PDF $70K) as the bare minimum in their budget for trainees. As a reviewer, I will not question this. It is only fair and equitable
Best news for scientific trainees in the budget. Also increase in numbers of scholarships. But that will be (possibly more than) offset by reduction in # of trainees supported by grants. Might be a case of right-sizing - pay fewer trainees more. No more exploitation.
@cathleencrudden There is a $1.8B increase to the base budget of Triagency grants over 5y. There is more to do, but these investments will benefit all students & are an important step in the right direction to #SupportOurScience
Fantastic news! Hopefully these numbers will be allowed in our grant applications as well. 🙏🏻🎉🤩 Our trainees ALL deserve this level of support. @physiologyuoft @uoftmedicine @researchuoft

#GradStudent scholarships and #Postdoc fellowships got a raise today for the first time in 21 years🙌 Immensely grateful to all those who have been pushing for this. It truly takes a village! Still processing and will have more thoughts soon! But overall this👇 is great news!
