literature review and synthesis of best practices and approaches to measurement-based care in military and veteran mental health care systems.

the funding opportunity seeks proposals to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of using of llm-based chatbots for trauma-informed support for sexual assault survivors in the military. the project should involve user studies, a research framework, and collaboration with subject matter experts to review and update the chatbot's knowledge base and response strategy.

with a focus on ethical ai principles, the goal is to ensure user safety, prevent re-traumatization, and protect data privacy through robust evaluation protocols.

the burroughs wellcome fund aims to stimulate the growth of new connections between thinkers working in largely disconnected fields who might together change the course of climate change’s impact on human health. in the three years between fall 2023 and summer 2026, we will dedicate $1m to supporting small, early stage grants of $2,500–$50,000 toward achieving this goal.

we are mainly but not exclusively interested in activities that build connections between basic/early biomedical scientific approaches and ecological, environmental, geological, geographic, and planetary-scale thinking, as well as with population-focused fields, including epidemiology and public health, demography, economics, and urban planning. also of interest is work piloting new approaches or interactions toward reducing the impact of health-centered activities, such as developing more sustainable systems for health care, care delivery, and biomedical research systems.

founded in 1945, the cancer research society (crs) is a canadian not-for-profit organization whose sole mission is to fund research on all types of cancer to help prevent, detect, and treat this disease.

per year.

this is a joint initiative between the natural sciences and engineering research council of canada (nserc) and the us national science foundation (nsf). recognizing the potential for international collaboration to accelerate materials research and education objectives, the nsf encourages bilateral cooperation between us and canadian academic researchers.

the dmref program offers a unique opportunity for canadian academic researchers to team up with their us colleagues to build interdisciplinary teams of researchers working synergistically to build the fundamental knowledge base needed to advance the design and development of materials in pursuit of the following goals:

• unify the materials innovation infrastructure (mii), a framework of integrating advanced modelling, computational and experimental tools, and quantitative data
• harness the power of materials data
• educate, train, and connect the materials research and development workforce

through a lead agency model, the us principal investigator (pi) will submit a single collaborative proposal on behalf of the research team, which will undergo a review process by nsf, the lead agency. in parallel, the eligible participating canadian researchers on the team must submit one simplified application to nserc. please refer to the apply section for more details.

please contact jill sherman at intl.research@lakeheadu.ca for more information.

applications are submitted on the sps grant platform; for eligibility criteria and application instructions, click here.

connection grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the research partnerships 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 engage with participants on research issues they value. events and outreach activities funded by a connection grant can often serve as a first step toward more comprehensive and longer-term projects.

connection grants support workshops, colloquiums, conferences, forums, summer institutes, documentaries 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.

insight development grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the insight research program.

insight development grants support research in its initial stages. the grants enable the development of new research questions, as well as experimentation with new methods, theoretical approaches and/or ideas. funding is provided for short-term research development projects of up to two years that are proposed by individuals or teams.

insight development grants foster research in its early stages but are not intended to support large-scale initiatives. long-term support for research is offered through sshrc’s insight grants.

proposed projects can involve, but are not limited to, the following types of research activities:

• case studies
• pilot initiatives
• critical analyses of existing research

projects can also involve national and international research collaboration, and the exploration of new ways of producing, structuring and mobilizing knowledge within and across disciplines and sectors.

funding is available for two distinct categories of scholars:

• emerging scholars who will develop new research questions and/or approaches. such projects can build on and further the applicant’s (or team’s) graduate work and/or represent a continuation of their overall research trajectory.
• established scholars who will explore new research questions and/or approaches that are distinct from the applicant’s previous/ongoing research. research projects should be clearly delimited and in the early stages of the research process. insight development grant funding is not intended to support ongoing research for established scholars.

the purpose of the future leaders in canadian brain research program is to accelerate novel and transformative research that will fundamentally change our understanding of nervous system function and dysfunction and their impact on health. the ultimate goal is to reduce the social and economic burden of neurological and mental illnesses through prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment. 

open to early-career investigators within seven* years of starting their first independent research position, the 2024 competition will support up to 20 grants of $100,000 over two years.  

*new: brain canada is implementing an extended eligibility window, in line with federal granting agencies, to account for the delays to research caused by the covid-19 pandemic. for eligibility details please refer to the request for applications 

evidence clearly shows that increasing equity, diversity, and inclusion (edi) in research environments enhances excellence, innovation, and creativity. brain canada is committed to excellence through equity, and we encourage applicants of diverse backgrounds to apply to our funding opportunities, which will promote the expression of diverse perspectives, approaches, and experiences, including those of underrepresented groups.
