the goal of the data analysis grants is to use existing cohorts, data platforms and/or administrative datasets to advance healthy cities intervention research and implementation science specifically by addressing one or more of the following objectives:

• evaluating the impact on health and health equity of interventions to the physical, social or policy environment (including health system–mediated interventions);
• contributing analyses to directly inform the planning of physical, social or policy interventions with the purpose of improving urban population health or health equity;
• addressing critical contextual questions related to the implementation of one or more interventions and scaling up (knowledge sharing) of evidence-based interventions (including health system-mediated interventions);
• filling knowledge gaps that are critical for laying the foundation for future population health intervention research in urban areas. for example, increasing our understanding around how interventions may impact populations differentially according to gender, age, race, culture, ethnicity, income, or dis/ability;
• developing and/or validating indicators and other data or evaluation tools that enable robust, comparable, replicable and equitable healthy cities intervention research and implementation science (including health system-mediated interventions).

• quantum algorithms/encryption, including post-quantum cryptography
• quantum communications
• quantum computing
• quantum materials
• quantum sensing

discovery horizons grants support investigator-initiated individual and team projects that broadly integrate or transcend disciplines to advance knowledge in the natural sciences and engineering (nse). full applications submitted to this nserc program will be reviewed by a  tri-agency interdisciplinary peer review committee.

in partnership with the canadian institutes of health research (cihr) and the social sciences and humanities research council (sshrc), nserc is piloting this interdisciplinary peer review mechanism. the shared peer review committee will assess all full applications submitted to nserc’s discovery horizons program, as well as relevant applications submitted to sshrc’s insight grants and cihr’s project grants programs.

in the context of this funding opportunity, the term “interdisciplinary” should be understood to fully encompass all research that connects, crosses or falls in between the traditional disciplines of the three agencies, including transdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, convergence research and other approaches at the interface.

discovery horizons grants are expected to be valued from $50,000 to $100,000 per year and will be commensurate to the size of the research team. for this competition, nserc is expecting to award approximately 10 to 20 grants this year.

idrc and gpe are pleased to invite proposals for applied research projects that will generate and mobilize evidence about the best ways to scale the impact of innovative approaches for strengthening education data systems and data use.  

this call addresses three interrelated challenges, each of which requires research that addresses technical issues, multiple aspects of capacity strengthening, and effective governance and sustainability. the challenges are: 

• expanding and integrating data sets to understand learners and promote gender equality, equity and inclusion 
• using platforms and tools to enhance data use 
• expanding uses and users of data, including for public accountability 

this program provides funding to not-for-profit organizations, industry organizations and professional associations to:

• educate their stakeholders about accessibility
• help support regulatory compliance
• promote cultural awareness about the value and benefits of accessibility

typical projects may involve:

• customized educational tools and resources that directly communicate about accessibility and inclusion with a specific sector
• promoting accessibility in daily living and encouraging regulatory compliance
• public outreach programs and initiatives

the dg program supports ongoing programs of research with long-term goals rather than a single short-term project or collection of projects. these grants recognize the creativity and innovation that are at the heart of all research advances. dgs are typically five years in duration and are considered “grants in aid” of research, as they provide long-term operating funds and can facilitate access to funding from other programs but are not meant to support the full costs of a research program.

brain canada along with heart & stroke and the canadian institutes of health research institute of circulatory and respiratory health (cihr-icrh), are excited to launch the personnel awards for indigenous scholars.

the objective of the competition is to increase the number of highly qualified indigenous trainees from first nations, inuit or métis communities, whose traditional and ancestral territories are in canada, committed to working in heart and/or brain research.

the multi-year awards will provide financial support for up to eight masters 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 for up to two years and up to five doctoral 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 for up to three years.

2023 master's personnel awards for indigenous scholars

the stipends awarded will be up to $50,000 cad ($25,000 per year for up to two years), enabling indigenous trainees (including elders and knowledge keepers) to focus on their master’s research studies and engage with mentors as part of their training.
