Due to COVID-19, NSERC is replacing live webinars with pre-recorded videos followed by live Q&A sessions. This series is meant to assist the research community on how to complete an application using the Research Portal and the NSERC Canadian Common CV (CCV). You will find below the pre-recorded videos as well as the dates for these upcoming live Q&A sessions. New Q&A session dates will be added as they become available on our website.
We ask that you please view the pre-recorded videos prior to attending a live Q&A session, as the material presented in the videos will not be repeated.
In order to prepare, we invite you to familiarize yourself with the following documents:
Pre-registration is not required to attend the live Q&A sessions. The session will be open 15 minutes in advance for you to review existing questions and submit your questions in advance.
Considering the high attendance to our webinars, NSERC staff may not have time to respond to all individual questions during the session. Any additional questions should be directed to our support team at NSERC Discovery.

This Fall, CBR Canada is linking webinars with live discussions on the theme Community-Based Research with Racialized Communities. A week following each webinar, CBR Canada invites CBR Canada members to participate in a live discussion and explore how to integrate learnings from the webinar.
This live discussion is the second in the series and is titled Researcher Identity and Privilege. On October 29th at 12 noon ET, webinar presenters, Ciann Wilson and Ann Marie Beals, will ask questions for participants to discuss in small groups. The event will end with a big group discussion and everything will be recorded live in a Google doc. We will reflect, problem solve and support each other in a safe discussion space.
The Zoom link will be emailed to registered participants.
This is a CBR Canada members only event. If you are employed, studying, or affiliated with any CBR Canada member institutions you are considered a member (see list). Individuals whose institution is not on this list are welcome to join as an individual member, learn more here. *Note there is a free membership option for registered community mobilizers.
We encourage you to join Ciann and Ann Marie's webinar "Proclaiming the Roots and Realities of Indigenous-Black Peoples on Turtle Island: A CBR Approach" on October 22nd at 12 noon ET live or watch the webinar recording, which we will be shared before the live discussion.
We look forward to seeing you there!

This series begins with a recognition that privilege exists at an intersection of factors such as gender, sexual orientation, income, lack of Indigenous sovereignty, and the social construction of race. Recognizing privilege is not enough, the next step is to listen and learn from the expertise and lived experience of BIPOC communities. We recognize that everyone will be coming to this discussion at their own stage in the journey of understanding the topic of community-led research and racialization. We ask participants to respect this within a safe and non-judgemental discussion space.

Research is a powerful act of knowledge creation that has significant real world impacts for communities in, for example, developing, implementing and transforming policies and in the distribution of resources. Complicit in colonial projects around the world, research also has problematic histories of harm, exploitation and theft within Indigenous and racialized communities. These histories and the colonial landscape of academia continue to situate researchers and academic institutions in a position to decide who is the "knower" in research and who is constructed as those to be known or knowable. Community-based research is an alternative approach to traditional forms of research that attempts to counteract the imbalance of power experienced by communities subject to marginalization and structural violence, including Indigenous and racialized peoples. Is community-based research enough of a counterbalance if the institutions in which research is conducted and the researchers conducting the research are consciously or unconsciously grounded in a colonial worldview? This webinar will offer ideas and considerations towards decolonizing approaches to research from a systems perspective. Dr. Hackett will draw from a decolonizing framework applied to social work established from her research with an African-Caribbean community situated in Tkaronto on the Indigenous lands of Turtle-Island, also known as the Greater Toronto area of Canada.
The Proclaiming Our Roots project is the culmination of the histories, stories and experiences of mixed Black and Indigenous Peoples on Turtle Island. This project cultivates a space to create written, visual and narrative archives of the geographies, histories, and contemporary realities of Afro-Indigenous Peoples. With over 400 years of African diasporic presence in Canada, relationships between Black and Indigenous Peoples offered a form of resistance against colonial oppression and afforded these communities an opportunity for survival. In this webinar, Dr. Ciann L. Wilson and Ann Marie Beals explore how such a space is created to enable equitable participation with community members in decentering whiteness and revisionist histories, while moving beyond the white gaze. As well, they discuss challenges and dangers within community-based research in understanding how privilege and colonial forces shape the research process as community is excluded from the benefits of the work.
Speakers:
As you start your research career at Lakehead University, it’s important to know that you are not alone.
