partnership engage grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the research partnerships program. however, partnership engage grants cannot respond exclusively 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.

the specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:

• to support planning activities, partnership development and to increase understanding of the health research landscape that will contribute to the advancement of research consistent with the mandate of cihr; and
• to support dissemination events and activities that focus on the communication of health research evidence to the appropriate researcher or knowledge-user audiences, tailoring the message and medium as appropriate.

he health system impact fellowship objectives are to:

• support impact-oriented career paths and elevate the career readiness of doctoral trainees and post-doctoral researchers studying health services and policy research (hspr) or related fields by supporting embedded research opportunities within health system organizations (e.g., public, private for-profit, not-for-profit, and indigenous health organizations) outside of the traditional university environment, with enriched competency development (e.g., leadership, project management) and opportunities for mentorship and networking.
• expand and enrich the traditional doctoral and post-doctoral training environment by engaging health system organizations in preparing a cadre of emerging leaders, inclusive of those who have historically faced barriers in the research ecosystem, including, but not limited to, those marginalized by gender, indigenous peoples, communities impacted by racism, persons with disabilities, and members of 2slgbtqi+ communities, for impact-oriented careers in academic and health system organizations; and
• provide health system organizations with direct opportunities to realize and harness the benefits that research-trained individuals can bring to such organizations for rapid learning, improvement and evidence-informed decision-making that will advance the quadruple aim and health equity.

the specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• enable stbbi researchers to generate preliminary observations, data or knowledge necessary to pursue longer-term research funding in stbbi research;
• support original, high quality stbbi projects and provide researchers the opportunity to pursue high risk health research questions which have the potential to generate novel, innovative and high impact results; and
• stimulate innovation in stbbi research by promoting cross-disciplinary research collaborations between stbbi researchers and experts in other relevant fields in canada.

the specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:

• to enhance the application of health promotion approaches to public health emergency preparedness and response in canada by supporting research aligned with the research opportunities identified in the cpho's generating knowledge for a health promotion approach document.
• to foster links between health promotion and emergency management researchers, knowledge users and decision-makers to strengthen the capacity for public health systems in canada to prepare for and respond to public health emergencies.
• to strengthen research excellence and ensure maximum impact through consideration of equity, diversity and inclusion and indigenous rights, where applicable, in study populations, research and knowledge mobilization approaches, research teams and knowledge users.

as part of the energy innovation program carbon capture, utilization and storage rd&d call, the utilization focus area aims to support the research, development, and demonstration (rd&d) of co2 utilization technologies that have the potential to significantly and meaningfully reduce the costs, as well as the energy and carbon intensity, of co2 conversion and utilization into viable products and commodities for long-term or permanent sequestration of co2 at a large scale.

the national energy systems modelling call, delivered under natural resources canada’s (nrcan) energy innovation program (eip), targets projects which quantitatively model the role of innovative technologies in achieving emissions reductions in the energy sector and its role within a net-zero emissions economy.

the national energy systems modelling call aims to support public discussion and action on clean energy and climate change by:

• improving societal understanding of the energy system
• enhanced decision-making
• transparency and accessibility
• representation of new technologies
• improved evidence base

the training fund under the fighting and managing wildfires in a changing climate (fmwcc) program provides time-limited contribution funding, ending in 2026-2027, to support the implementation of wildfire training projects that increase firefighting capacity and build community capacity to mitigate, prepare for, and respond to wildfires.

together with the weizmann institute of science (wis) and weizmann canada, brain canada is thrilled to announce the launch of the brain canada & weizmann institute of science team grants.

this program aims to leverage strengths and foster international collaboration between researchers in canada and the weizmann institute of science in israel. its purpose is to support hypothesis-driven research that will advance our understanding of the brain and brain disorders.

the research topic will focus on hypothesis-driven inquiries on the brain and nervous system, and may span the range of basic, translational, and clinical approaches, including:

• basic research into fundamental properties and mechanisms, including functional studies based on the use of “-omics” data.
• projects related to disease or dysfunction of the nervous system leading to new insights into fundamental biological mechanisms.
• projects that experimentally test novel hypotheses addressing therapeutic or interventional approaches for brain disorders.
• projects aimed at developing novel methods, if these methods allow new neuroscience questions to be answered.
• projects, such as those using epidemiological, “-omics”, or other approaches, that will generate large datasets, if hypotheses are clearly stated.

the brain canada & weizmann institute of science team grants program has an overall funding envelope of $1,500,000 cad to support up to three grants of $500,000 cad each over two years. this funding opportunity is open to research teams of two or more members and must include a minimum of two independent investigators. at least one independent investigator must be conducting research at, and affiliated with, an eligible academic institution in canada, and one at the weizmann institute of science, designated as co-principal investigators.
