mitacs-own the podium call for proposals
how to apply:
own the podium and mitacs developed a partnership through mitacs’s accelerate and elevate programs, which support the brightest phd 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
and postdoctoral fellows conducting research in high‐performance sport. these interns share their time between academic, industrial, and high‐performance sport environments, tying together the major elements of the canadian sport‐research ecosystem.
all projects must have clear potential for economic impact to canada and therefore must likely include a canadian for‐profit partner, where the intern will spend at least 25 per cent of his/her time.
points for consideration:
a) the three major research areas related to otp‐targeted olympic and paralympic sports are:
sport performance: including, but not limited to, physiological preparation, performance nutrition, sport psychology, biomechanics and motor behaviour, and sport analytics;
sports engineering: including, but not limited to, equipment fabrication and customization,
aerodynamics, ergonomics, and performance technology; and
proactive sports medicine: including, but not limited to, injury prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and return to podium.
b) projects must be aligned with both a canadian sport institute (csi) and a collaborating canadian university. the csi may be directly involved in the research and will also be in a position to potentially provide opportunities for subsequent employment in continued high‐performance sport research.
deadline for lois is september 17. for more information, please see attached file.

call for research proposals: rapid research fund for ebola virus disease outbreaks
how to apply:
scope
the rapid research fund (rrf) for ebola virus disease outbreaks is intended to support social sciences, humanities, public health and/or health systems research aimed at more effectively containing the current ebola outbreak in the democratic republic of congo (drc), as well as potential future outbreaks, more readily.
a minimum of four successful teams will be eligible to receive research grants up to ca$360,000 over two years (2018–2020). the focus of the supported research will be to inform the response to the current ebola outbreak in drc, with the aim of improving prevention and preparedness efforts to future ebola or similarly significant infectious disease outbreak threats in the region.
projects must be focused on addressing challenges related to the current ebola outbreak in the drc, and/or risks of extension to the surrounding region. proposals should apply social science, humanities, population and public health, and/or health services research approaches that build on previous learnings, and/or respond to documented knowledge and practice gaps, to build capacity for more effective outbreak response, containment, and mitigation efforts.
the proposal must also justify the use of rapid research funds, detailing how the same research success and impact would not be achieved through traditional, less time-sensitive funding sources.
this call is intended to fund collaborative partnerships between canadian and african researchers based out of established, research-oriented organizations in north and sub-saharan africa and canada.
the following eligibility criteria also apply:
- application from one canadian lead applicant and an african co-lead applicant.
- application from one african lead applicant and a canadian co-lead applicant.
- eligible organizations are legal entities, such as accredited universities, non-governmental or government-funded research organizations.
- african-canadian partnerships may include other co-applicant research partners from eligible organizations.
- intergovernmental organizations (e.g. united nations system) and cgiar centres may not apply to this call as lead or co-applicants. intergovernmental organizations may, however, participate as collaborating organizations.
- the lead applicant and co-applicants may negotiate and develop funding arrangements directly with third-party organizations for specific services. idrc will not contract directly with third-party organizations. applications that involve third-party organizations must clearly justify their involvement and explain their role(s).
- at most, a person can apply as the lead applicant for one project and be a co-applicant for one additional project.

nserc prizes – steacie
eligibility:
candidates should have successfully defended their doctoral thesis within the last 12 years (i.e., 2006 or later) and hold a grant from nserc. parental leave taken for child bearing and rearing is not counted as part of the 12-year period; however, such periods must be identified in the letter from the nominator.
candidates may be nominated by any individual or group; however, the nominators must be canadian citizens or permanent residents of canada and be senior members of the canadian science and engineering community. self-nominations will not be accepted. the nominations must be endorsed by the executive head of the candidate's university.
the research of the nominee must be primarily based in the fields of the natural sciences and/or engineering. nserc reserves the right to rule on the eligibility of nominees.
university officials must screen the nominations and forward up to six nominations that are demonstrably outstanding.
the start date of the e.w.r. steacie memorial fellowship should be between april 1, 2019 and march 31, 2020; and the award is normally paid in two instalments of $125,000 per year.
individuals who are awarded a discovery accelerator supplement and an e.w.r. steacie memorial fellowship will be entitled to receive both awards, but not concurrently. contact nserc program staff for more information.
how to apply:
every year, nserc awards up to six steacie fellowships that are held for a two-year period. successful fellows are relieved of teaching and administrative duties, so that they can devote all their time and energy to research. the fellowships are held at a canadian university or affiliated research institution.
each fellow receives a research grant of $250,000 over two years. research grant funds paid to winners of this prize are subject to the tri-agency financial administration guide.
the fellowship normally also includes a contribution of up to $90,000 per year to the university toward the fellow's salary. as part of the fellowship agreement, the university is expected to fund a replacement for the fellow's teaching and administrative responsibilities. should the recipient of the fellowship already hold another federal award that has a salary component, such as a canada research chair or an industrial research chair, nserc will reduce the contribution to the university accordingly.
