uarctic is proud to announce the initiation of the research fellowships program in collaboration with the lloyd's register foundation. the fellowships aim to address critical challenges in maritime safety within the arctic, with the focus on learning from historical experiences to confront contemporary challenges.

applicants are invited to apply for funding to establish a fellow with a maximum budget of 40,000 gbp in total with a duration of up to two years up to and not beyond august 2026.

the three interlinked themes of the fellowship program are as follows:

ice histories - ice is one of many things that makes the arctic maritime special and different from other maritime environments. it also makes it especially dangerous and drives many of the safety challenges in the maritime economy. by integrating indigenous knowledge with contemporary scientific methods, the aim is to develop robust strategies for navigating through arctic ice safely.

safely navigating changing arctic sea routes - as arctic sea routes witness increased traffic due to climate change and geopolitical shifts, researchers are invited to explore the safety implications of these transformations. by studying historical data and engaging local voices, the program seeks to address the unique challenges posed by evolving arctic shipping routes.

cruise ships in the cold - with the rise of arctic tourism, particularly in the realm of cruise ships, safety concerns loom large. researchers will investigate the risks associated with cruise ship operations in arctic waters, aiming to enhance safety protocols and minimise environmental impacts.

applications

applications for the fellowship program are now open to researchers and indigenous knowledge holders affiliated with uarctic member institutions. successful applicants will not only receive financial support but also gain access to lloyd's register foundation's extensive archive of maritime data and reports.

the university of the arctic (uarctic) is pleased to announce a call for submissions from faculty, 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , and staff at canadian member institutions for travel funding support. this initiative, facilitated through the global arctic leadership initiative and supported by global affairs canada, aims to foster engagement and collaboration of northern canadians, including indigenous peoples, within the uarctic network. the fund is specifically designed to support opportunities for participation and perspectives in uarctic activities and events.

• funding amount: up to $5,000 cad in travel support.
• eligibility criteria: open to 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , faculty, and staff of canadian uarctic member institutions, institutionally-sponsored travel support for community knowledge holders, and uarctic chairs and thematic network leads. 
• application deadline: submissions are accepted at any time and will be reviewed on the following schedule: april 30, 2024; august 31, 2024; december 31, 2024.
• application process: completion of the application form, detailed budget, and supporting documentation through memorial university’s public engagement portal.
• reporting requirements: recipients are required to submit a one to two page report following the event, with photos and testimonials encouraged.

the goal of the data analysis grants is to use existing cohorts, data platforms and/or administrative datasets to advance healthy cities intervention research and implementation science specifically by addressing one or more of the following objectives:

• evaluating the impact on health and health equity of interventions to the physical, social or policy environment (including health system–mediated interventions);
• contributing analyses to directly inform the planning of physical, social or policy interventions with the purpose of improving urban population health or health equity;
• addressing critical contextual questions related to the implementation of one or more interventions and scaling up (knowledge sharing) of evidence-based interventions (including health system-mediated interventions);
• filling knowledge gaps that are critical for laying the foundation for future population health intervention research in urban areas. for example, increasing our understanding around how interventions may impact populations differentially according to gender, age, race, culture, ethnicity, income, or dis/ability;
• developing and/or validating indicators and other data or evaluation tools that enable robust, comparable, replicable and equitable healthy cities intervention research and implementation science (including health system-mediated interventions).

the objective of idea to innovation (i2i) grants is to accelerate the pre-competitive development of promising technology originating from the university and college sector, and to promote its transfer to a new or established canadian company. 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.

discovery horizons grants support investigator-initiated individual and team projects that broadly integrate or transcend disciplines to advance knowledge in the natural sciences and engineering (nse).

the discovery horizons program provides nserc’s entry-point to the tri-agency interdisciplinary peer-review mechanism. it supports discovery research projects that would significantly benefit from being assessed by a tri-agency interdisciplinary peer review committee, and aims to:

1. answer nse research questions that are best addressed through interdisciplinary approaches
2. advance nse disciplines through cross fertilization and new ways of thinking about research questions; ideas and frameworks; approaches and methods; platforms, tools and infrastructure; people, partners and trainees
3. provide leading-edge nse training for highly qualified personnel (hqp) in interdisciplinary research environments
