• who is eligible as a visiting scholar?

graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , postdoctoral fellows, research professionals and professors who are associated with a public university in new brunswick, ontario, nova scotia, quebec or at université de saint-boniface.

• who is eligible as a host environment for a visiting scholar?

professors, research professionals, research chairs and research groups who are associated with a public university in a canadian province or territory (all provinces and territories are eligible), as well as publishers of french-language or bilingual scholarly journals in a territory or province of canada.

five types of collaborative projects are eligible :

1. collaboration in a research project between two established researchers (research professionals, professors, postdoctoral fellows, etc.);
2. collaboration in a research project between an established researcher and graduate student;
3. collaboration in a research project between two research teams based in different provinces or territories;
4. internship of a graduate student in a research group, a research chair or a scholarly journal, to carry out various mandates that may go beyond research, for example the administration of the journal, linguistic revision, translation, etc.;
5. participation of a graduate student in a summer school in another province or territory.

examples of projects funded in 2021:

• ·         professors yves bergeron of the université du québec en abitibi-témiscamingue and loïc d'orangeville of the university of new brunswick will combine their expertise to advance knowledge on the relative influence of climate and natural disturbances on the dynamics of isolated stands to the transition between temperate and boreal forests;
• ·         sandrine duval, a doctoral student at mcgill university, will complete an internship with the canada research chair in minority studies at the university of waterloo with professor nicole nolette. this internship will focus on the study of theatre in the canadian francophonie;

the natural sciences and engineering research council of canada (nserc) and the communications security establishment (cse) are partnering to fund research communities to conduct unclassified research on cutting-edge technologies in areas of strategic importance to cse and the government of canada. a research community is defined as a group of researchers – and their research personnel (i.e., 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , post-doctoral fellows, and research professionals) – from multiple canadian universities working in related domains and sharing nserc-cse funds awarded to their project(s). the first research communities grants focus on robust, secure, and safe artificial intelligence (ai). cse is the sole partner organization; no additional partner organizations will be accepted.

the british academy is inviting proposals for the next round of its knowledge frontiers: international interdisciplinary research projects programme. the call is open to early career researchers, active in any discipline within the humanities or the social sciences and offers the opportunity to develop and lead international and interdisciplinary research projects. the principal investigator (pi) must be a researcher from the humanities and social sciences and be based at an eligible uk university or research institute, but the involvement of co-applicants based overseas is required. at least one co-applicant based outside of the uk must be an early career researcher. it is required that amongst the pi and co-applicant(s) there is a range of disciplines from the humanities and the social sciences.

there are no themes to this call. it is open to any research focus if it meets the international interdisciplinary focus. the academy requires all applications to fundamentally involve and integrate both the humanities and the social sciences.

applications must be submitted online using the british academy's grant management system (gms), flexi-grant® by november 1^st 2023, 5 p.m. (gmt).

through the institute community support (ics) program, the cihr institutes and initiatives are launching the ics travel awards competition for 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , postdoctoral fellows, early career researchers and knowledge users to present their own research at national and international meetings, workshops, and/or conferences.

the specific objective of this funding opportunity is:

• to provide travel funds to individuals in aid of research and knowledge translation activities consistent with the cihr initiative’s priorities or cihr institutes’ vision, mandate and strategic directions. in addition to this overarching objective, each participating institute/initiative has their own relevant research areas, outlined in the sponsor description section of this funding opportunity.

the specific objective of this funding opportunity is:

• to catalyze and support research efforts of canadian researchers to use the available clsa data in order to better understand how biological, medical, psychological, social, lifestyle and/or economic aspects of people's lives have an impact on both maintaining health and the development of disease and disability as people age.

the brockhouse canada prize for interdisciplinary research in science and engineering recognizes highly collaborative canadian teams of researchers from different disciplines who have combined their expertise to produce achievements of outstanding significance in the natural sciences and engineering.

the brockhouse canada prize competition is held annually. the prize is accompanied by a team research grant of up to $250,000, which may be used to support the direct costs of university-based research and/or the enhancement of research facilities. the grant will be paid in three annual instalments. research grant funds associated with this prize are subject to the tri-agency guide on financial administration.

if you are interested in being nominated for this prize, please contact dr. batia stolar, associate vp, research & graduate studies at bstolar@lakeheadu.ca.

the goal of the exploration stream is to inspire high-risk, high-reward and interdisciplinary research.

exploration grants support research that pushes boundaries into exciting new areas. researchers are encouraged to think “outside of the box” and undertake research that would defy current paradigms; brings disciplines together in unexpected ways and from bold, innovative perspectives; and has the potential to be disruptive or deliver game-changing impacts.

exploration stream grants support projects that:

• bring disciplines together beyond traditional disciplinary or common interdisciplinary approaches;
• propose to explore something new, which might fail; and
• have the potential for significant impact.

exploration grants support research with a range of impacts—economic, scientific, artistic, cultural, social, technological, environmental or health-related. this list is not exhaustive; other types of impacts are also recognized. diversity of perspectives is important, and the fund encourages research proposals led from any discipline, from those in the social sciences and humanities, to health, the natural sciences and engineering.
