Fellowship Award Additional Information

Publicity

For publicity purposes, Fellowship recipients grant permission to the Bank of Canada to publicly communicate their names and qualifications.

The Bank of Canada does not retain or claim ownership of, or exploitation rights to, intellectual property developed by the recipients. However, recipients are required to cite the Bank as a source of funding in any relevant publication that appears during the Fellowship period or that results from work done during the term of the award.

Change of status

The recipient must notify the Bank of a change of status regarding his or her affiliation with the university.

Leave of absence

With the agreement of the university concerned, recipients would continue to be eligible during a paid sabbatical year.

The award may be discontinued at any time during the five-year term of the program in the event that the recipient no longer works at a Canadian university.

The award may be suspended during a recipient's unpaid leave of absence and resumed upon the recipient's return to a tenured or tenure track faculty position at a Canadian university. However, if the recipient is in his/her final year of Fellowship, the Fellowship cannot be resumed and will be discontinued. In the event the recipient is on an unpaid leave of absence, the recipient must confirm to the Bank by the end of January if he/she is returning to the university. If the Fellowship is discontinued or suspended (maximum a year), the Bank may ask for repayment of some or all of the unused funds.

Exit Interviews

The Recipient agrees to participate in an interview at the end of his/her term to provide feedback about the program and on his/her experience as a Fellow.

Ethics

The Bank of Canada endorses the policies adopted by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) with respect to integrity in research and scholarship and non-discrimination. The Bank may discontinue a Fellowship at any time if it decides that a recipient has contravened the policies of the SSHRC. These policies may be viewed at the SSHRC website.
