the specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• collect nationally representative data on the oral health status of canadians across the lifespan to address (i) the data deficits identified (see how to apply for details) and (ii) additional questions posed by the successful applicant(s).
• create a cohort of data to enable future multi-jurisdictional research studies on the oral health of canadians by the greater researcher, clinician and policy making communities.
• create an accessible data platform with collected oral health survey data. where possible, it is strongly encouraged that this data platform integrate and harmonize with one or more of existing cihr data investments.
• provide a multidisciplinary training and mentoring approach in order to build capacity for oral health research.

the specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:

• generate preliminary observations, data or knowledge regarding the potential benefits and/or harms of cannabis and/or cannabis use in relation to mental health.
• centre the lived experience of people with mental illness, who use cannabis to create research designs and outcomes meaningful for people with lived experience.
• support community-based, population-specific research, using qualitative and/or mixed methods, ensuring projects are grounded in the social determinants of health.
• facilitate consideration and application of new evidence to inform ongoing and future development of policies, practices and programs related to cannabis and mental health.
• connect to existing knowledge translation efforts across canada, for example through the mental health commission of canada, the canadian centre on substance use and addiction, and/or the centre for addiction and mental health.

we are investing $1.67 million in the first round of the great lakes local action fund to help ontario protect, restore and conserve the great lakes. the program provides funding up to $50,000 for local small-scale community projects that have a positive environmental impact on the great lakes, as well as social or economic benefits for their communities.

eligibility

grants are available for projects that take place in ontario within the great lakes and st. lawrence river basin, including:

• lake superior
• lake huron
• lake erie
• lake ontario
• st. lawrence river
• ottawa river
• their connecting rivers
• their watersheds

templeton world charity foundation has launched a new strategy to support new scientific research on human flourishing and to translate related discoveries into practical tools. over the next five years, the foundation will support a range of projects across three distinct stages: discovery, development, and launch. we hope that this commitment will lead to the development of innovative solutions and the launch of new practices that make a lasting impact on human flourishing. 

you can find more information about our new strategy here.

before picking a focal point for the discovery stage of this five-year strategy, we plan to gather new ideas through an open-submission process. to achieve this, we’ve issued this request for ideas (rfi) to gather input as broadly as possible. we invite researchers across disciplines to participate in an initial phase of idea generation and development. ideas selected will be used by the foundation to shape its priorities for scientific discovery. this has the potential to lead to several new portfolios of grants. we seek bold ideas and rigorous experiments that use new conceptual frameworks to move past age-old debates and lead to significant breakthroughs.

we expect to invest approximately $40,000,000 through the grand challenges for human flourishing. priority will go to interdisciplinary scientific research on humanity’s cognitive, affective, social, and spiritual well-being. 

we are particularly interested in capacities that can be enhanced to promote human flourishing. we are also committed to the use of open science practices, such as the preregistration of hypotheses, replication studies, and data sharing.

please contact jill sherman, international research facilitator, at intl.research@lakeheadu.ca if you are interested in applying to this funding opportunity.

balance the equation is the first-ever grand challenge focused on u.s. education.

the bill & melinda gates foundation is seeking to disrupt the deeply imbalanced system against this generation – and previous generations – of black, latino, english learners (els), and 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 experiencing poverty in the united states, who we will refer to as priority 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , as it relates to their algebra 1 experience in 7th, 8th, or 9th grade, in-class or online.

submissions are welcome from across the globe for a chance at a phase 1: planning and prototyping grant for us$100,000 to develop a pilot study plan alongside our external learning partner, american institute for research (air). upon completion of the first phase, awardees can then apply for a phase 2: pilot study grant for up to us$1 million. applicants are encouraged to consider how their solution* could benefit from the expertise of two or more organizations in a partnership or combine with emerging or existing in-market solutions. partnerships representing collaboration with a full-course algebra 1 or relevant middle grades mathematics series provider are especially encouraged, as this would represent a clear go-to-market pathway.

please contact jill sherman, international research facilitator, at intl.research@lakeheadu.ca if you are interested in applying to this funding opportunity.
