the intent of this funding opportunity is to identify a host for the 2024 cihr institute of aging's (ia) summer program in aging (spa).

the spa 2024 strategic topic area will be ageism, health, and older adults.

the cihr-ia summer program in aging (spa) is an intensive 5-day capacity-building program with the aim of providing graduate trainees with advanced training that crosses disciplines, offers networking opportunities, and disseminates best practices in research. spa has been held yearly across canada since 2006 with a different strategic theme each year.

the spa curriculum offers an important training opportunity for approximately forty canadian trainees in the area of aging to have exposure to, learn from, and network with leaders in the field of research on aging. in addition, spa is an important networking opportunity that encourages knowledge exchange with fellow trainees, speakers, mentors, and older adults. spa hosts are especially encouraged to incorporate persons with lived experience in the program.

spa also represents an opportunity to advance international partnerships and to increase exposure of canadian trainees to international networks of prospective collaboration. as in previous years, the spa 2024 host will be encouraged to involve international researchers, and/or speakers.

the spa host will be responsible for coordination and management of all logistics related to the successful implementation of the spa program. this includes the hiring of planning staff; all spa materials; travel, accommodation, and meals for mentors and speakers; accommodation and meals for trainees; and transportation to and from the nearest airport to the spa venue for all participants.

this call is designed to improve the climate resilience of indigenous peoples in developing countries. the aim is to support the indigenous climate leadership of indigenous organizations in canada and/or non-indigenous organizations in canada that have strong connections with indigenous peoples in canada.

the selected overarching project(s) will have various components, including sub-granting, capacity building, monitoring, reporting, and overall governance. the sub-granting component will result in funding for climate action partnership projects designed and implemented by indigenous peoples in canada in partnership with indigenous peoples in developing countries. the partnership projects will also need to align with the international climate finance outcomes described below.

to be relevant to the competition applications must address all four (4) objectives.

through the establishment of an integrated, interdisciplinary, and equitable canadian post covid-19 condition research network:

1. provide a platform to strengthen canada's capacity to undertake and contribute to ongoing research on post covid-19 condition and coordinate, consolidate, and enable the use of existing and emerging research evidence; and
2. enable comprehensive and timely understanding of the biological, clinical, mental health, health systems, and population health impacts of post covid-19 condition and its relevance for developing programs, policies and informing practice that promote health and health equity; and
3. engage relevant stakeholders, knowledge users and partners at the local, national, and international level to support coordination of research activities, to co-develop equitable and inclusive processes, to amplify research findings, and to promote further collaborations; and
4. swiftly mobilize timely, high-quality, and policy, practice, and community-relevant research evidence on urgent and emerging research priorities that supports an evidence-based and equitable response to post covid-19 condition

brain canada is pleased to be partnering once again with the barbara turnbull foundation for spinal cord research to support discoveries that aim to improve the lives of those impacted by injuries to the spinal cord and brain.

the 2022 turnbull-tator award in spinal cord injury and concussion research aims to recognize an outstanding publication by an independent researcher at a canadian institution in the field of spinal cord and/or brain injury research, including concussion, in the last two years, with a $50,000 prize.

recognizing the important need to build capacity in these fields, the funds awarded through this award will be utilized to support the salary/ stipend of full-time graduate student(s) or postdoctoral fellow(s) conducting research in the recipient’s laboratory and contributing to the continuation of the excellent research exemplified by the awarded publication.

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.

partnership grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the insight and/or connection programs. proposals exclusively for partnered research training initiatives are expected to respond, instead, to the objectives of the talent program.

these grants provide support for new and existing formal partnerships over four to seven years to advance research, research training and/or knowledge mobilization in the social sciences and humanities. this is done through mutual co-operation and sharing of intellectual leadership, as well as through resources as shown by cash and/or in-kind contributions.

partnership grants are intended for large teams of postsecondary institutions and/or organizations of various types that work in formal collaboration.

the quality of training, mentoring and employability plans for 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and emerging scholars will be evaluated as an important part of the proposed initiative. sshrc’s guidelines for effective research training explain how 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and emerging scholars can meaningfully participate in proposed initiatives.

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 to engage with participants on research issues of value to them. 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, 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.

• increase the scientific information available to support regulatory decision-making and oversight

• increase capacity to regulate smrs

• enhance the capabilities of canadian universities to undertake research related to smrs

• increase training and help produce a new generation of nuclear scientists, engineers, and policy makers
