The intent of the BCRP Breakthrough Award is to support promising research that has the potential to lead to or make breakthroughs in breast cancer. The critical components of this award mechanism are:

Impact: Research supported by the Breakthrough Award will have the potential for a major impact and accelerate progress toward ending breast cancer. The impact may be near-term or long-term, but must be significant and move beyond an incremental advancement. Applications must articulate the pathway to making an impact for breast cancer patients, even if clinical impact is not an immediate outcome. 

Research Scope: Research proposed under this award mechanism may be at different stages of idea and research development. Two different funding levels, based on the scope of the research, are available for this solicitation of the Breakthrough Award. It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to select the funding level that is most appropriate for the research proposed.

In partnership with the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development and The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the International Development Research Centre is pleased to launch a call for research proposals on Growth and Economic Opportunities for Women (GrOW) – generating evidence on women’s economic empowerment, gender equality and growth in low-income countries.

The Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) is pleased to announce the 2013-14 Call for Proposals for the Ontario Human Capital Research and Innovation Fund (OHCRIF).
The purpose of OHCRIF is to support research and innovation projects that identify better ways to help people prepare for, return to or keep employment and become productive participants in the labour force. OHCRIF is funded through the Canada-Ontario Labour Market Development Agreement and is being used to advance knowledge and evidence to support policy and program development.
This is an open Call for Proposals that will provide funding for faculty and non-faculty researchers at postsecondary institutions, graduate students, and researchers affiliated with public and non-profit organizations or research firms, to undertake research on postsecondary education, labour market, and employment and training policy.
For 2013-14, OHCRIF welcomes applications for research and analysis projects in the following three thematic areas:

·         Preparing for and participating in the labour market

·         Increasing participation in postsecondary education and training

·         Outcomes and returns to postsecondary education and training
OHCRIF will be used to support short-term projects that can be completed between October 2013 and March 2014. OHCRIF will be used to fund both review projects (i.e. literature reviews and environmental scans) and original research projects. The application deadline is September 30, 2013 at 12 pm.
