under the mitacs globalink research award (gra) program, mitacs has signed a new partnership with the consejo de rectores de las universidades chilenas (cruch-fudea) for research student mobility  (bi-directional, from canada to chile, or from chile to canada).  the call is now open for partnership applications (no co-pay!).  the partnership stream is limited to eligible universities.  while no mou is required for the gra program, we especially encourage applications with our partner, universidad de la frontera.

• deadline:  april 30, 2023 at 5 p.m. pt
• level: full-time senior undergraduate, master's and phd 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , postdoctoral fellows
• themes: all disciplines
• other requirements: n/a

• eligible institutions:
• universidad de santiago de chile (usach)
• universidad de la frontera (ufro) (lakehead mou partner)
• universidad católica del norte (ucn)
• pontificia universidad católica de chile (puc)
• universidad católica del maule (ucm)
• universidad de concepción (udec)
• co-funding: no financial contribution is required from the canadian university
• award amount: $6000
• application process and submission:  submit through the office of research services,  intl.research@lakeheadu.ca.

chile is of course eligible under the regular (quota, non-competition) stream, open call, any chilean university is eligible, however there is a co-pay requirement. please contact jill sherman, intl.research@lakeheadu.ca, for more information and an application package.

the petroleum research fund is an endowed fund, managed by the american chemical society that supports fundamental research directly related to petroleum or fossil fuels at nonprofit institutions (generally colleges and universities) in the united states and other countries.

acs petroleum research fund (acs prf) grants are intended as seed money, to enable an investigator to initiate a new research direction. the investigator should not have published or received financial support from another funding agency for the proposed research. also, proposals that the acs prf committee feels are a logical extension of an investigator’s previous research may be denied as “not a new direction.”

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

it is anticipated that 95% of all captured co₂ will need to be permanently stored to achieve net-zero emissions. to ensure the permanent removal of co₂ from the carbon cycle, co₂ needs to be sequestered and stored.

as part of the energy innovation program – carbon capture, utilization and storage rd&d call, the storage & transportation focus area aims to characterize and develop safe, permanent sub-surface co₂ storage, and technologies that support safe and efficient transportation of co₂ and storage opportunities across canada.

the specific objective of this funding opportunity is:

• to provide important early career development support to child health researchers and enhance their ability to compete for future research grants.

ovin’s r&d partnership fund – wintertech development program supports ontario small and medium enterprises (smes) and their partners to validate, test, prototype, and demonstrate new products and technologies designed to meet the unique demands of winter weather conditions.

wintertech development leverages the strengths and innovative capabilities of ontario smes in the automotive and mobility sector and our unique winter weather conditions to establish the province as a test bed for mobility products and services in severe winter weather conditions.

because of ovin’s wintertech development program, ontario is a global leader in the commercialization of new winter-ready mobility technologies and solutions.

wintertech development supports projects related to technology/product/service validation, testing, demonstration and prototyping of mobility products and services in severe winter weather conditions in the following priority areas:

• mass light vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and vans
• heavy duty vehicles, including commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, recreational vehicles (rvs), and others used for goods movement
• transportation infrastructure
• intelligent transportation systems (its)
• transit-supportive systems and vehicles

the r&d partnership fund – electric vehicle (ev) – stream 2 program supports projects related to the development and demonstration of technologies in electric vehicles (ev) and battery manufacturing technologies in the following priority areas:

• mass light vehicles, such as cars, trucks and vans
• heavy duty vehicles, including commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, recreational vehicles (rvs), and others used for goods movement
• charging infrastructure
• intelligent transportation systems (its)
• transit-supportive systems and vehicles

examples of ev and battery-focused technologies, and other ev related technologies:

• light weighting
• electrified powertrains, electric motors, transmission systems, battery management systems
• ev batteries, battery materials and chemistry, component manufacturing processes
• charging systems and ev fleet management technologies
• hydrogen and alternative fuel cell evs
• electric micro-mobility
