oncat supports research that advances knowledge and understanding of the current state of transfer 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and transfer pathways in ontario. the objective of this funding strategy is to generate knowledge that can directly inform policies, pathways and institutional practices and contribute to a greater understanding of system-wide issues that impact transfer and student mobility.
 

areas of focus

• labour market outcomes of transfer 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 : this research area will support projects that explore how transfer 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 are doing in terms of labour market outcomes. priority will be given to projects that draw on novel data sources (e.g. linkages within statistics canada’s elmlp environment) to assess the labour market outcomes of transfer 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 . we are particularly interested in projects that will employ a multivariate approach to account for student demographics, as well as those that will use techniques (e.g. psm) to address self-selection. 
• industry demand for pathways: this research area will support projects that explore labour market demand for pathways and whether pathways help address existing and emerging skills needs. this could include an exploratory analysis of current labour market demand for articulated pathways across geographic regions, or specific industrial sectors, within the ontarian economy. we are particularly interested in how pathways could be strategically crafted to meet present skills needs within the labour market. we are open to projects that perform either primary data analysis or draw on a review of secondary sources to identify prospective in-demand pathways.
• transfer+online learning: this research area will support projects that explore the integration of online learning and credit transfer. projects could include an environmental scan of models used to integrate online learning and credit transfer across north america, along with other exemplary jurisdictions. in particular, we are interested in an in-depth review of institutional arrangements (e.g. credit transfer policies, online course databases, student support structures) within jurisdictions where credits earned online can be transported seamlessly across colleges and universities (e.g. georgia).
• transfer+apprenticeship: this research area will support projects that explore transfer into and out of apprenticeship. projects could include an analysis of student mobility patterns from apprenticeships to programs offered by university/college/indigenous institutes; and from pre-apprenticeship programs to apprenticeships. we are also particularly interested in the performance of these individuals after they transition (e.g. time-to-completion, completion rates).
• transfer+industry-based professional development: this research area will support projects that explore pathways between industry-based professional development and postsecondary education. projects could include an environmental scan of existing arrangements that support the recognition/transferability of industry-based training (e.g. badges) or professional development by pse institutions.

we are pleased to announce a new cimvhr research opportunity (https://cimvhr.ca/cimvhr-funding-opportunities/). we are seeking a researcher or research team from our member universities to conduct the following research project:

“ta 53 – first-generation smallpox vaccine potency testing.”

we would ask that you kindly distribute this notice to let your researchers know about this opportunity. 

note: all proposals must be submitted through the online call for proposal portal (https://funding.cimvhr.ca/login) and contain the required information as noted on the request for proposal document. proposals received outside of the portal or that do not contain the necessary required information will not be considered.

insight development grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the insight program.

insight development grants support research in its initial stages. the grants enable the development of new research questions, as well as experimentation with new methods, theoretical approaches and/or ideas. funding is provided for short-term research development projects of up to two years that are proposed by individuals or teams.

insight development grants foster research in its early stages, but are not intended to support large-scale initiatives. long-term support for research is offered through sshrc’s insight grants.

proposed projects may involve, but are not limited to, the following types of research activities:

• case studies;
• pilot initiatives; and
• critical analyses of existing research.

projects may also involve national and international research collaboration, and the exploration of new ways of producing, structuring and mobilizing knowledge within and across disciplines and sectors.

within the insight development grant funding opportunity, funding is available for two distinct categories of scholars: emerging scholars and established scholars.

the 2019 future leaders in canadian brain research grants program aims to be transformative at a time when it is well recognized that there is a significant funding gap to support and retain our brightest early-career investigators, who are well positioned to make major contributions to canadian brain research. this competition is open to all new investigators, within five years of their first independent academic appointment, conducting research in the field of neuroscience (any discipline).

interested applicants are required to submit a brief letter of intent (loi), providing an overview of the project they intend to pursue, by december 10, 2019. please refer to the request for applications for additional details (https://braincanada.ca/for-researchers/).

for more information, please contact futureleaders@braincanada.ca.
