the purpose of this fellowship program is to highlight the role of women in devising scientific solutions to problems confronting humankind in the 21st century. the program supports major research projects undertaken by women scientists at the postdoctoral level in canada.
applicants must apply as a transnational research project partnership. project teams must be interdisciplinary and trans-sectoral, incorporating required disciplinary expertise to develop adaptation and mitigation strategies, and including appropriate stakeholders to reflect the participatory, co-developed nature of the project. it is strongly recommended that all project teams include at least one expert in social sciences or humanities among the co-principal investigators to ensure that the community/social dimension is integrated, fostering successful implementation of the strategies for maximum impact.
each consortium partner may have additional eligibility rules for applicants and proposed projects. use the links in table 1 to review each funding organization’s eligibility rules, requirements, funding mandates, policies, eligible costs and procedure.
project teams will be composed of co-principal investigators (co-pis), co-applicants and collaborators. co-pis share responsibility for directing the project and co-ordinating proposed research activities, in addition to participating in the execution of the research project; co-applicants and collaborators contribute to executing the research project.
a minimum of three countries must be represented among the co-pis, and the team must be eligible to receive funds from at least two consortium partners. at least one co-pi must be eligible to apply to the new frontiers in research fund (nfrf) program.
to reflect the expertise required to deliver on the ambitious and interdisciplinary nature of the project, proposals must be submitted by interdisciplinary and trans-sectoral teams, with appropriate stakeholders including the vulnerable groups involved in the project. the appropriate team size and composition will depend on the requirements of the proposed project, and may include individuals from any discipline and sector.
to foster the participation of many, and to ensure that teams have enough time to dedicate to the project, individuals may participate as a co-pi on only one application to this competition. an individual who is listed as a co-pi on multiple applications will have their status changed to a co-applicant on all but one application, determined by the order in which they are received.
the international joint initiative for research in climate change adaptation and mitigation represents a collaboration among research funders from brazil, canada, germany, norway, south africa, switzerland, the united kingdom and the united states to leverage international expertise to tackle the global challenges caused by climate change. climate change has been recognized as the single most important threat to the future well-being and prosperity of our planet and all who inhabit it.

the early intervention strategy for spruce budworm (eis) is designed to reduce the risk of a spruce budworm (sbw) outbreak in atlantic canada by treating “hotspots” (small areas with low and growing sbw populations) early in the outbreak cycle before damage has occurred to forests.
the eis small scale research (ssr) program supports scientific research addressing key science needs underpinning the development, deployment, efficacy, and impact of sbw management activities. the objective of the ssr program is to improve knowledge and tools to address current and future sbw outbreak development and spread.
the eligible recipients under the ssr program are canadian research institutions and organizations, such as universities, colleges, and not-for-profit organizations that specialize in forest research, and insecticide operations applicators.
the transforming health with integrated care (thinc) knowledge mobilization & impact hub (herein called the thinc impact hub or hub) is a key component of the thinc initiative, which is led by cihr’s institute of health services and policy research in collaboration with multiple institutes, initiatives and partners.
operating as a single coordinating centre, the thinc impact hub will build and support a vibrant pan-canadian learning community involving all thinc grantees and knowledge user communities towards advancing evidence-informed integrated care transformation and catalyze progress towards achieving the quadruple aim and health equity (sometimes referred to as the quintuple aim).
the thinc impact hub aims to foster initiative wide coordination, learning and collaboration, capacity development, knowledge mobilization (km), and collective impact (see objectives). the impact hub will incorporate six (6) core elements in its design and approach:
the purpose of this funding opportunity is to fund diverse mid-career applied public health researchers in canada who will undertake inclusive and equitable applied research programs that tackle pressing public health challenges and who will work with decision makers from various sectors and communities to help support evidence-informed decisions that improve health and health equity.
as the full application stage of funding opportunity involves a commitment from the institution ". . . to protect a minimum of 75% of the npa's time to research activities relevant to the objectives and research areas of this funding opportunity", applications are asked to contact the office of research services to indicate their interest in this program far in advance of the letter of intent deadline.
the hfsp fellowship program supports proposals for frontier, potentially transformative research in the life sciences. applications for high-risk projects are particularly encouraged. the projects should be interdisciplinary in nature and should challenge existing paradigms by using novel approaches and techniques. scientifically, they should address an important problem or a barrier to progress in the field.
hfsp postdoctoral fellowships encourage early career scientists to broaden their research skills by moving into new areas of study while working in a new country.
two different fellowships are available:
long-term fellowships (ltf) are for applicants with a phd on a biological topic who want to embark on a novel and frontier project focussing on the life sciences.
cross-disciplinary fellowships (cdf) are for applicants who hold a doctoral degree from a non-biological discipline (e.g. physics, chemistry, mathematics, engineering or computer sciences) and who have not worked in the life sciences before.
there is only one competition per year for hfsp fellowships. applications for the 2024 hfsp long-term and cross-disciplinary fellowships (to start in 2024) will follow a two-step submission process via the online submission platform proposalcentral. firstly, applicants will be asked to submit a letter of intent from which the review committee will select the best proposals. in a second step, successful applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal.
for more information, please contact jill sherman at intl.research@lakeheadu.ca.
