Are you aware of the federal Tri-Agency Framework:  Responsible Conduct of Research and your responsibilities as a researcher to comply? At Lakehead University, compliance with the framework will apply equally to all research, funded or unfunded, carried out by Lakehead faculty. The workshop will provide you with an overview of the Tri-Agency Framework:  Responsible Conduct of Research guidelines, what constitutes a breach of research integrity, and the procedures for investigating breaches as outlined in the LUFA Collective Agreement (September 1, 2016 to August 31, 2020) Article 39:  Research Integrity. This workshop is being co-led by Anne Klymenko, Director, Research Services and Dr. Gautam Das, President of LUFA. Light lunch will be served.

Please RSVP on Eventbrite.

Dear Colleagues:

You are cordially invited to an information session on funding opportunities in Germany. The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation provides fully funded opportunities for young scholars (within 12 years of attaining a Ph.D.) to visit Germany and carry out research with German scholars for varying lengths of time. It is ideal for a post-doctoral fellowship experience or that first sabbatical leave for new faculty. Also the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation grants up to 100 Humboldt Research Awards annually to internationally eminent academics from abroad in recognition of their entire academic record to date.

We look forward to seeing you!

Dr. Alex Kuznetsov, Humboldt Foundation Liaison Office in Canada

This workshop, co-facilitated by Rebecca Heffernan, Research Services, and Denise Baxter, Vice Provost, Aboriginal Initiatives, will explore how to get started in doing research in a good way with Indigenous communities and organizations. It will cover formal frameworks for engaging with communities, co-creating knowledge, and sharing research data and the results of research (e.g. OCAP principles, TCPS2 Chapter 9). The workshop will also explore the more informal but equally important aspects of relationship building that underlie these formal frameworks: dos and don'ts in approaching Indigenous organizations/communities for research partnerships, differences in Indigenous and western/mainstream cultural understandings of research and knowledge creation, and ensuring relational accountability throughout the research process.

Light refreshments will be served.

To attend, please RSVP to Rebecca at orillia.research@lakeheadu.ca

This session will explore the financial aspects of administering your research grants and will be beneficial to all new and existing researchers as well as their key staff.
