SSHRC PHD

Two Indigenous University of Manitoba graduate students are recipients of 2018 Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships.

These awards, considered the Canadian equivalent of the United Kingdom’s Rhodes Scholarships, help recruit and keep in Canada top doctoral students from across the country and around the world. Each recipient will receive $150,000 over three years towards her research.

The recipients of this prestigious award are Taylor Morriseau and Iloradanon Efimoff.

With her Vanier funding, Morriseau will investigate how a traditional Indigenous diet can quell a gene variant that is strongly associated with Type 2 diabetes in Oji-Cree children.

Efimoff will use her funding to probe a dauntingly large question crucial to Canada’s reconciliation efforts: How can we teach people to be less racist towards Indigenous people in Canada?

ABOUT THE VANIER SCHOLARSHIPSThe scholarships are administered by Canada’s three federal granting agencies: the Canadian Institutes of Health Research; the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada; and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.

Students are nominated by their university. Nominees are evaluated by multi-disciplinary peer-review committees and selected by a board composed of world-renowned Canadian and international experts.
