the research proposed should aim to contribute to the improvement of very high fatality cancer research and treatment in canada and the world. the specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:

• support original, high quality projects, which have the potential for significant impact on high fatality cancers.
• to accelerate progress in high fatality cancer research (e.g. pancreatic cancer, glioblastoma).
• support research that explores unique and novel ideas, which contribute to hfc understanding of these cancers and how to treat them.
• to encourage multi-pronged high risk/high reward approaches across diverse fields of study such as imaging.
• stimulate new partnerships between researchers and experts in the field.

objectives

• support the development of next generation bioinformatics and computational biology (b/cb) tools and methodologies that will be required by the research community to deal with the influx of large amounts of data produced by modern "–omic" technologies; and,
• provide broad and timely access of these new b/cb tools to the research community.

draft registrations are due at the ontario genomics institute november 30.

request for proposals - “qualitative study on the health and well-being of families of caf veterans”

veterans affairs canada (vac) requires a qualitative study to better understand the health and well-being of families of canadian armed forces (caf) veterans with mental health problems (including osis); whether the family is accessing support; and if so, whether the support appears to be working for them. the overall goal of this two-phased research project is to enhance the mental health and well-being of caf veterans and their families.  

the canadian institute for military and veteran health research (cimvhr) has entered into partnership with the government of canada to procure research and development services related to the mental, social and physical wellbeing of active military members, veterans and their families. cimvhr is seeking notices of interest from qualified researchers or a research team to enter into a contract with cimvhr to produce this work.
