this co-funding opportunity from the terry fox research institute (tfri) and the marathon of hope cancer centres network (mohccn) aims to support the development of proof-of-principle or proof-of-feasibility data for additional profiling approaches to be used in future developments for the mohccn. these projects will support existing or new precision cancer research using the mohccn model with significant potential for impact on outcomes for patients.

the specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• support early career researchers in initiating and conducting independent research in human development, child and youth health with the goal of building research capacity in this important health research area.
• generate new knowledge that will contribute to improving human development, child and youth health outcomes, promote health equity, and increase our understanding of the challenges, needs and current gaps in this research area.
• facilitate knowledge exchange and translation between early career researchers and other stakeholders in human development, child and youth health.

the forest sector investment and innovation program provides funding for strategic investments in the forest sector that:

• enhance competitiveness
• support new market access
• provide benefits to ontario’s broader forest sector
• strengthen regional economies

canada’s international development research centre (idrc) and other funding partners are investing up to cad19.1 million to fund up to 16 implementation research teams to support gender-transformative implementation research in sub-saharan africa.   

focused on investments to transform service design and delivery and to strengthen the development and implementation of equitable and sustainable movements, the ansrhra initiative will contribute to improved sexual and reproductive health and realization of rights while also building systems and structures that enable and support underserved populations, including women and girls, to demand and benefit from the full spectrum of srhr. 

the initiative’s overall aim is to support greater realization of neglected srhr by underserved populations, including women and girls, in sub-saharan africa.

partnership engage grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the research partnerships program.

these grants provide short-term and timely support for partnered research activities that will inform decision-making at a single partner organization from the public, private or not-for-profit sector. the small-scale, stakeholder-driven partnerships supported through partnership engage grants are meant to respond to immediate needs and time constraints facing organizations in non-academic sectors. in addressing an organization-specific need, challenge and/or opportunity, these partnerships let non-academic organizations and postsecondary researchers access each other’s unique knowledge, expertise and capabilities on topics of mutual interest.

sshrc welcomes applications involving indigenous research, as well as those involving research-creation.

connection grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the research partnerships program.

these grants support events and outreach activities geared toward short-term, targeted knowledge mobilization initiatives. these events and activities represent opportunities to exchange knowledge and engage with participants on research issues they value. events and outreach activities funded by a connection grant can often serve as a first step toward more comprehensive and longer-term projects.

connection grants support workshops, colloquiums, conferences, forums, summer institutes or other events or outreach activities that facilitate:

• disciplinary and/or interdisciplinary exchanges in the social sciences and humanities;
• scholarly exchanges between those working in the social sciences and humanities and those working in other research fields;
• intersectoral exchanges between academic researchers in the social sciences and humanities and researchers and practitioners from the public, private and/or not-for-profit sectors; and/or
• international research collaboration and scholarly exchanges with researchers, 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and non-academic partners from other countries.

the specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• support the development and validation of new biomedical techniques and technologies;
• demonstrate that the technology can be transitioned into discovery-based research; and
• mobilize research collaborations, including across disciplines.

global centres aim to encourage and support international, interdisciplinary collaborative research centres that will develop use-inspired research to address global challenges. the topic for the 2024 competition is addressing global challenges through the bioeconomy.

this is a joint initiative between the natural sciences and engineering research council of canada (nserc), the social sciences and humanities research council of canada (sshrc), the national science foundation of the united states of america (nsf), the national endowment for the humanities of the united states of america (neh), the research council finland (rcf), the innovation funding agency business finland (bf), the japan science and technology agency (jst), the national research foundation of korea (nrf), the ministry of science and information and communication technology of the republic of korea (msit), and the united kingdom research and innovation (ukri) biotechnology and biological sciences research council (bbsrc).

global centres proposals should be focused on cutting-edge, interdisciplinary and use-inspired research on the bioeconomy with international collaborations that foster breakthroughs in knowledge. this initiative supports researchers from canada and the us, and optionally from finland, japan, republic of korea and/or the uk, in forming collaborative research partnerships to address themes related to the bioeconomy (see research topics). nsf global centres grants will support the creation of international hubs of research excellence that advance knowledge, empower communities, and generate discovery and innovative solutions at a regional and/or global scale.

these international hubs are expected to be driven by a bold vision for high-impact, use-inspired research, as well as a strategy to integrate diverse perspectives from different disciplines, international partners and other stakeholders into the research over the course of the project.

through a lead agency model, the us principal investigator (pi) will submit a single collaborative proposal on behalf of the research team, which will undergo a review process by nsf, the lead agency. in parallel, the participating canadian researchers on the team must submit one simplified application to nserc. please refer to the apply section for more details.

• create physical or virtual international research centres that advance innovative, interdisciplinary, use-inspired research and education on the bioeconomy to address societal challenges through international collaboration and multi-stakeholder engagement.
• promote international collaboration to obtain advantages of scope, scale, flexibility, expertise, facilities and/or access to specific geographic locations to enable advances that could not occur otherwise.
• expand opportunities for 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and early career researchers to gain education and training in world-class research while enhancing diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility. where possible, provide opportunities for workforce training in bioeconomy that does not require advanced degrees but the training of a competitive workforce.
• integrate stakeholders and community members into the planning of the research so that centres reflect a co-designed and co-developed work plan that results in the co-generation of results likely to be taken up by relevant groups to solve urgent societal challenges at a regional or global scale to support the communities that they serve.
