partnership engage grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the insight program and the connection program. please note that partnership engage grants cannot respond exclusively to the objectives of the connection 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.

connection grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the connection 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 to engage on research issues of value to those participating. events and outreach activities funded by a connection grant may 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 objective of the idea to innovation (i2i) grants is to accelerate the pre-competitive development of promising technology originating from the university and college sector and promote its transfer to a new or established canadian company. the i2i grants provide funding to college and university faculty members to support research and development projects with recognized technology transfer potential. this is achieved through defined phases by providing crucial assistance in the early stages of technology validation and market connection.

objective

the discovery grants program assists in:

• promoting and maintaining a diversified base of high-quality research capability in the natural sciences and engineering in canadian universities;
• fostering research excellence;
• providing a stimulating environment for research training.

description

the discovery grants 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. discovery grants 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.

recipients of discovery grants are not restricted to the specific activities described in their applications, and may pursue new research interests, provided they are within nserc’s mandate. this provides researchers with the flexibility to pursue promising research avenues as they emerge and the opportunity to address higher-risk (higher reward) topics. researchers can use their grants to participate in collaborative efforts.

eureka clusters (celtic-next, eurogia, itea 3, and penta-euripides^²) have launched a common cross-domain call for proposals for joint research and development (r&d) innovative projects in artificial intelligence. participating countries include austria, belgium, canada, denmark, finland, germany, hungary, luxembourg, malta, netherlands, portugal, south korea, spain, sweden and turkey.

open to:

• small and medium-sized enterprises (sme)
• large enterprises and industries
• universities
• research organizations
• others

funding through nrc irap is only available to eligible smes. other organizations will need to secure funding from other sources or self-fund.

sectors of focus:

• artificial intelligence

deadline to submit international consortium project proposal: june 15, 2020

the specific objective of this funding opportunity is to generate research evidence using rigorous methodologies and to build relevant capacity in key research areas related to vaping in both youth and adults by:

• generating preliminary observations, data or knowledge;
• supporting projects which have the potential to generate high impact results and/or innovative research proposals; and
• facilitating consideration and application of new evidence to inform ongoing and future development of policies, practices and programs related to vaping.

this call is open to canadians, permanent residents of canada, and citizens of developing countries pursuing doctoral studies at a canadian university. awards under this call will cover the costs of field research conducted for a doctoral dissertation in one or more countries in the global south.

the specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:

• to address evidence gaps and build the evidence base for the mental health and substance use response to covid-19.
• to provide current evidence on mental health services needs, delivery and related guidelines, practice and issues, placed in the covid-19 context (e.g. effective virtual service delivery models, or other models of care).
• to provide decision makers with high quality, timely, accessible and relevant evidence that responds to a priority need in a short period of time.
