the dawn walker grant is administered by the canadian foundation for women's health (cfwh) in support of health policy training and development for healthcare professionals. for purposes of the grant, healthcare professionals are defined as individuals or 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 working or learning in a healthcare field and whose success will benefit from an enhanced understanding of the development of better health program policy for children and women.

the cfwh general research grants are awarded to those committed to finding solutions to the reproductive health issues that face women both in canada and around the world. open to any area within the field of obstetrics and gynaecology, these grants aim to help make further advancements in women’s health treatment, research, and education. the cfwh general research grant has a value of up to $20,000.

the belmont forum is pleased to announce the launch of a second collaborative research action focused on arctic region. the title of this international funding opportunity is resilience in a rapidly changing arctic. the call aims at bringing together researchers and other expertise across the globe to develop proposals from integrated teams of scientists and stakeholders to address key areas of arctic resilience understanding and action. this collaboration of academic and non-academic knowledge systems constitutes a transdisciplinary approach that will advance not only understanding of the fundamentals of arctic resilience but also spur action, inform decision-making, and translate into solutions for resilience.

proposing consortia shall address at least two of seven interconnected elements of resilience as described in the arctic resilience report of the arctic council: natural, social, financial, cultural and human capitals; infrastructure; and knowledge. given the complexity and scope of the challenges, research consortia must be truly transdisciplinary, thus including researchers from: a) social sciences/humanities/economy and b) natural sciences/technology, as well as c) societal partners (i.e. citizens, civil society organizations), using a co-design, co-development and co-implementation approach.

funders from 10 countries have committed resources for this call: canada, denmark, france, japan, iceland, netherlands, norway, russia, sweden, and usa. the call aims to support medium-sized research projects with 3 to 4 years duration, with a recommended budget of up to 1.5 m€ each.

new funding for research teams to study resilience in rapidly changing arctic ecosystems

nserc is pleased to participate in a new belmont forum funding opportunity to study the resilience of arctic ecosystems in the face of climate change.

eligible canadian applicants (or groups of applicants) can request up to a maximum of $75,000 per year, for up to 3 years. a total of up to $900,000 is available.

the funding will support transdisciplinary teams of natural and social scientists – and importantly, arctic stakeholders – that will not only conduct research, but use the results to spur action, inform decision-making, and translate into solutions for resilience.

for this funding opportunity, the term "stakeholder" is used in its broadest possible sense, allowing for co-development of projects with partners from, but not limited to, civil society, government, industry, ngos, and indigenous organizations.

for more information about this funding opportunity, please refer to the  call for proposals on the belmont forum website.

ic-impacts and the department of science & technology (dst) invite researchers to submit proposals for projects that can be completed in two years (or less) and that focus on cyber-physical systems to support green buildings in smart cities.

your proposal must reflect the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion in order to increase equity and enhance research excellence. ic-impacts is committed to the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion, adopted from nserc’s statement on equity, diversity, and excellence in natural sciences and engineering research.

biocanrx, canada’s immunotherapy network, is pleased to announce its 2019 call for letters of intent. selected letters of intent will be featured in the scientific program of our cycle ii application going forward for review in july 2019 to the federal government’s networks of centres of excellence (nce) program.

building on previous biocanrx investments in cycle i, the overarching goal of the cycle ii research program will focus on extending immunotherapy successes in the clinic beyond initial responders. to address this challenge, while making use of technologies in the biocanrx pipeline or by soliciting new complimentary technology, biocanrx will invest in projects aimed at understanding patient and/or tumour type limitation(s) and proposing improved novel therapies, trials, or combination approaches to overcome the identified limitation(s)

applications must be received by wednesday, may 1, 2019.

full details here.

the objective of this application process is to support the development and implementation of innovative and collaborative approaches that improve the integration of highly skilled newcomers into the canadian labour market.

the government of canada is accepting applications from organizations interested in receiving up to $800,000 in funding from the foreign credential recognition program (fcrp) per project that is up to 30 months in duration. approximately 15 organizations will receive funding through this process.

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.

please contact the edi and research offices well in advance of the deadline if you are considering this funding opportunity.

background

according to the world health organization (who), the global pressures of population growth, urbanization, water shortages, and climate change impacts are increasing the agricultural demands for treated waste as a steady source of water and nutrients.[1] in addition, freshwater, nutrients, energy, and chemical compounds recovered from treated waste have found application in areas such as irrigation, horticulture, forestry, and industrial water supply. further research is underway to explore mining waste for other valuable components that could be reused and recovered in other industries.

collaborations between academia, government, and industry to recover water, nutrients, energy, and valuable chemicals from waste have the potential to yield commercial successes and be scaled up to global markets.

proposals

ic-impacts and the department of biotechnology (dbt) invite researchers to submit proposals for projects that can be completed in two years (or less) and that focus on extracting wealth from waste.

your proposal should offer biotechnology-driven research-based solutions, and reflect cost and space efficiencies required for deployment in cities such as delhi, kanpur, and varanasi, or in locations with similar geographies.

central to the successful proposal will be demonstrating a scalable technology that can be developed as a commercially viable option to extract wealth from wastewater and be applicable to rejuvenating polluted bodies of water such as the river ganga in india.

your proposal must reflect the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion in order to increase equity and enhance research excellence. ic-impacts is committed to the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion, adopted from nserc’s statement on equity, diversity and excellence in natural sciences and engineering research.
