nserc - ukri call for proposals on quantum technologies
canada and the uk enjoy long-standing cooperation in science, technology and innovation. in january 2024, canada and the uk renewed the memorandum of understanding governing cooperation in scientific research and innovation, and quantum was identified as an area of cooperation.
recognizing the importance of international collaboration in promoting scientific discoveries, the natural sciences and engineering research council of canada (nserc) and united kingdom research and innovation (ukri)’s engineering and physical sciences research council (epsrc) and science and technology facilities council (stfc) are partnering to launch a call for research proposals on quantum science.
building on the complementary interests and research expertise in the uk and canada, this collaborative opportunity with ukri is open to scientific challenges in quantum science that aim to advance research in the technology areas of quantum communications and/or quantum sensing. proposals must advance specific quantum missions described in the national strategies of each country.

career awards for medical scientists
the career awards for medical scientists (cams) is a highly competitive program that provides $700,000 awards over five years for physician-scientists, who are committed to an academic career, to bridge advanced postdoctoral/fellowship training and the early years of faculty service.
eligibility note: bwf will make up to two additional awards to clinically trained psychiatrists who focus on research at the interface between neuroscience and psychiatry. these proposals must clearly demonstrate evidence of integration of neuroscience and psychiatry in project design.
for more information, please contact jill sherman at intl.research@lakeheadu.ca.
career awards at the scientific interface
bwf's career awards at the scientific interface (casi) provide $560,000 over five years to bridge advanced postdoctoral training and the first three years of faculty service. these awards are open to u.s. and canadian citizens, permanent residents, and temporary residents.
the burroughs wellcome fund launched the career awards at the scientific interface in 1999 to foster the early career development of researchers who are transitioning from training environments in the physical, mathematical, computational sciences and/or engineering into postdoctoral work in the biological sciences, and who are dedicated to pursuing a career in academic research.
