the seed grant provides funding for pilot studies in arrhythmia research to gain preliminary results which can strengthen applications for canet’s larger grants such as the strategic research grant (srg).

seed grants must be focused on research that has potential to grow into larger canet programs. up to $25,000 is available (max. 1 year duration) for projects in areas aligned with canet’s strategic priorities. matching funds are not required but recommended. a maximum of one seed grants can be held at any one time by a network investigator. senior investigators (>10 years) are strongly encouraged to include and mentor a junior co-pi on the project. network investigators will be encouraged to apply for a canet strategic research grant (srg) after the completion of the seed grant, if applicable.

eligibility

the competition is open to all canet network investigators. if you have questions regarding your eligibility to submit an application or how to become a canet network investigator, please contact kevin o’neil (koneil@canet-nce.ca) for more information. you may apply to this competition concurrently with an application for canet membership.

proposals are not eligible for a seed grant if they:
• focus only on collecting data without interpreting underlying mechanisms;
• seek to certify, endorse, validate or performance test an existing product, process or material (unless accompanied by significant efforts to improve or better understand the product, process or material);
• include activities aimed at excessive literature review
• relate to the set-up and operational management of an institute or a formal or informal group of researchers;
• are principally associated with the acquisition and maintenance of scientific equipment.

the purpose of the focused investment program (fip) – social sciences is to provide funding to support the examination of new approaches to research critical to the transformation of arrhythmia care practices in canada. the objectives of the fip – social sciences are to:

• build knowledge, understanding and capacity within interdisciplinary and/or cross sector research teams.
• mobilize research knowledge around critical social, cultural and technological issues related to the promotion of an accessible and sustainable health care system for arrhythmia health.
• deepen understandings that inform solutions employed in the transformation of arrhythmia care practices in canada.

fip – social sciences projects must be focused on research that is aligned with canet’s strategic plan and have the potential to integrate into larger canet programs/projects (see https://canet-nce.ca/2016-2019-strategic-plan). up to $150,000 can be requested (over a maximum of 2 years) is available for projects in areas aligned with canet’s strategic priorities. matching funds are not required but recommended. a maximum of one fip-social sciences program can be held at any one time by a network investigator. senior investigators (>10 years) are strongly encouraged to include and mentor a junior co-pi on the project.

the funding for this round is contingent on the successful renewal of canet by the networks of centres of excellence (nce). successful proposals will become key outlined projects as part of the canet renewal application to the nce. if canet is successful at renewal, funds will flow to successful proposals on april 1, 2020. please plan your budgets accordingly.

as age-well completes its first five-year mandate (2015-2020), the network is developing its plans and goals for its next iteration, specifically from 2020-2025. a key aspect of this planning process is the development of age-well’s next core research program, which is a set of integrated, long-term research projects that are the cornerstone of the network’s activities.

applications are invited for new core research projects that will be included as part of age-well’s renewal application for funding through 2020-2025. age-well will provide significant funding for 3 to 5 years to projects that:

• are driven by real-world problems and challenge areas
• address specific areas of interest to age-well and its partners and stakeholders
• focus on innovative technology-based solutions to support older adults and caregivers
• are user-centred, involving end-users and stakeholders in all stages of the research
• deliver not only the technology but the practice, policy, and service delivery models that are needed for the solution to be effective
