Founded in 2001, the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation is an independent and non-partisan Canadian charity. The Foundation supports creative and critical thinkers who make meaningful contributions to critical social issues through scholarships, fellowships, mentorships and public interaction events. To date, the Foundation has granted hundreds of major awards to top researchers and highly accomplished individuals, in Canada and abroad.

Leadership

The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation has had four presidents since its inception in 2001. The first President and CEO of the Foundation, Dr. Stephen J. Toope, took up his position at the beginning of August 2002. An Interim President, Dr. Frederick H. Lowy, served from June, 2006 through to October 2006 after Toope left to become President of the University of British Columbia. Dr. Pierre-Gerlier Forest, formerly Chief Scientist at Health Canada, was the President of the Foundation from November 2006 to September 2013. Mr. Tim Brodhead became interim president and chief executive officer as of 17 September 2013. In April 2014, Morris Rosenberg was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer.

Funding

In 2002, the Government of Canada endowed the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation with $125 million CAD, to fund the creation of a program for advanced studies in the social sciences and the humanities.[1][2] An agreement on the Advanced Research in the Humanities and Human Sciences Fund was signed March 2002, between the Government of Canada and the Foundation outlining the obligations of the Foundation in handling public funds in regards to investment strategy, governance and program delivery. The Foundation also solicits private money.fu[3] They also get payed by private entity's for pay and play results.[4]

Mission

The Foundation:

Themes

Human Rights and Dignity

The purpose of pursuing and establishing civil, political, economic and social rights is to preserve and promote human dignity, in all its aspects and dimensions. All human beings should be able to lead a life within society that reflects their common values and aspirations, in spite of differences.

Responsible Citizenship

While powerful forces are pushing for integration on a planetary scale, cultural, ethnic and religious divisions appear to be growing stronger, with an increasing risk of loss of social cohesion. The rights and obligations conferred by citizenship are not equitably distributed at local, national or global levels; in the global economic context, the separation between private and public spheres of responsibility has begun to blur. Proponents of true democracy acknowledge the pluralist environment in a spirit of tolerance and shared social responsibility.

Canada in the World

Canada’s tradition of responsible engagement in international affairs is an integral part of our identity. Through experiences such as immigration, travel, and instant global communications, the Canadian public has become more aware of complex international realities, whether they relate to commerce, culture or security. Our concepts of risk, social obligation and engagement are evolving. We have a clear need to rethink foreign policy and reflect on the opportunities and challenges that affect Canada’s role in critical areas such as environmental protection and cooperation between nations.

People and Their Natural Environment

Environmental issues are pervasive, a source of concern for individuals around the globe. Competition for food, water, clean air and natural resources is leading to conflict. Like other countries, Canada must acknowledge the degradation of the natural environment and the threat this poses to the health and security of Canadians. New sustainable ecological measures and human adaptation may reduce the risk of confrontation among different sectors of society and countries; the concept of environmental justice will drive changes in the economic, political and social order.

Programs

Trudeau Scholarships

Up to fifteen Trudeau Scholarships are awarded each year to support doctoral candidates pursuing research of compelling present-day concern, touching on one or more of the four themes of the Foundation. Scholars are typically highly talented individuals who are actively and concretely engaged in their fields and expected to become leading national and international figures. Trudeau Scholars are encouraged to work with Trudeau Mentors and Fellows. Interaction with the Trudeau community, non-academic spheres and the general public is an essential element of the Scholarship program.

The Trudeau Scholarship program has rapidly become recognized as among the most prestigious doctoral award in Canada for students interested in major social and public policy issues.

Trudeau Fellowships

Up to five Trudeau Fellows are chosen each year in recognition of outstanding achievement, innovative approaches to issues of public policy and commitment to public engagement. The Foundation provides support for the Fellows to make extraordinary contributions in their fields through leading-edge research and creative work.

The aims of the Fellowship Program are threefold. First, it is intended to reward exceptional individuals who use evidence and creativity to inform public discourse and policy. Second, it fosters the best multidisciplinary research and knowledge dissemination within the social sciences and the humanities. Finally, it strives to establish Trudeau Fellows as outstanding participants within the universities, to challenge and encourage the next generation of scholars.

Trudeau Mentorships

Up to twelve Trudeau Mentors are appointed each year. The Mentorship program seeks to forge intellectual and personal bonds between renowned Canadians with extensive experience in public life and talented, young doctoral students who have been awarded Trudeau Scholarships.

Mentors are drawn from a wide array of professional backgrounds, including the arts, journalism, business, public service, the legal profession, research and advocacy. Trudeau Mentors have typically earned a nationwide and international reputation based on achievements in their own particular field, and are able to introduce Scholars to their networks.

Trudeau Mentor candidates are screened and selected by an independent File Review Committee composed of a majority of senior decision-makers and social entrepreneurs, including leading members of the media, business and policy community.

Public Interaction Program

The Trudeau Foundation’s Public Interaction Program (PIP) is designed to integrate the Foundation’s three grant-giving programs by providing recipients with opportunities to learn and exchange research, ideas and proposals that focus on specific questions, and to share relevant knowledge with colleagues from different disciplines and varied life and cultural backgrounds.

In addition to PIP events organized by the Foundation, members of the Trudeau Community are encouraged to organize PIP events on major issues of public policy that affect Canadians and global society. Finally, the Foundation collaborates with other institutions and organizations to advance discussions in wider fields.
