The Engaged Anthropology Grant is designed to enable grantees to return to their research locale to share their research results. A Wenner-Gren grantee may apply for the Engaged Anthropology Grant ($5,000 maximum) upon completion of the final reporting requirements for the Dissertation Fieldwork or Post-Ph.D. Research Grant. Please note: only individuals who have received and completed a Dissertation Fieldwork Grant or a Post-Ph.D. Research Grant are eligible to apply for this grant.

The Collaborative Research Travel Grant (CRTG) program provides up to $15,000 in support for for relatively unrestricted travel funds to academic scientists and trainees (postdocs or fellows) at U.S. or Canadian degree-granting institutions.  Grants must be used for domestic or international travel to another lab to learn new research techniques or begin or continue a collaboration to address biomedical questions.  Special consideration will be given to applicants who have doctorate level training in the physical, mathematical, or engineering sciences and are working on biomedical problems.

he purpose of this funding opportunity is to provide undergraduate and health professional students with opportunities to undertake health research projects with established investigators in an environment that provides strong mentorship.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:

• To advance research and discovery in the biomedical sciences;
• To encourage scientific collaboration between Canadian and Israeli researchers and trainees; and
• To build capacity in biomedical science and foster scientific relations and collaborations with researchers and trainees from low and middle income countries.

Relevant Research Areas

The second call of this Program supports biomedical sciences with special emphasis on new frontiers in immunology. Potential topics may include, but are not limited to the following:

• Immunogenetics
• Cytokine networks regulating the human immune system
• Cross talk between the immune system and the microbiota
• Molecular and cellular mechanisms of autoimmune diseases and inflammatory processes
• Immunotherapy and biologicals for the management of human diseases
• New directions for vaccine research

The research proposed should aim to contribute to the improvement of very high fatality cancer research and treatment in Canada and the world. The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:

• Support original, high quality projects, which have the potential for significant impact on High Fatality Cancers.
• To accelerate progress in high fatality cancer research (e.g. Pancreatic cancer, glioblastoma).
• Support research that explores unique and novel ideas, which contribute to HFC understanding of these cancers and how to treat them.
• To encourage multi-pronged high risk/high reward approaches across diverse fields of study such as imaging.
• Stimulate new partnerships between researchers and experts in the field.

Objectives

• Support the development of next generation Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (B/CB) tools and methodologies that will be required by the research community to deal with the influx of large amounts of data produced by modern "–omic" technologies; and,
• Provide broad and timely access of these new B/CB tools to the research community.

Draft Registrations are due at the Ontario Genomics Institute November 30.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:

• To increase the uptake/application of synthesized knowledge in decision-making by supporting partnerships between researchers and knowledge users to produce scoping reviews and syntheses that respond to the information needs of knowledge users in the area of prescription drug abuse;

Relevant Research Areas

The Institute of Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction will provide funding for applications that are determined to be relevant to the following research areas:

• Treatment of acute pain using prescription opioids
• Evaluation of efficacy for pharmacy monitoring programs
• Development of prescribing standards for physicians/prescribers
• Evaluation of prevention programs for naïve prescription drug users
• Implementation science for pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments.

Request for Proposals - “Qualitative Study on the Health and Well-being of Families of CAF Veterans”

Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) requires a qualitative study to better understand the health and well-being of families of Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Veterans with mental health problems (including OSIs); whether the family is accessing support; and if so, whether the support appears to be working for them. The overall goal of this two-phased research project is to enhance the mental health and well-being of CAF Veterans and their families.  

The Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research (CIMVHR) has entered into partnership with the Government of Canada to procure Research and Development Services related to the mental, social and physical wellbeing of active military members, Veterans and their families. CIMVHR is seeking Notices of Interest from qualified researchers or a research team to enter into a contract with CIMVHR to produce this Work.
