Partnership Engage Grants

How to Apply: 

Partnership Engage Grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the Insight program and the Connection program. Please note that Partnership Engage Grants cannot respond exclusively to the objectives of the Connection program.
They provide short-term and timely support for partnered research activities that will inform decision-making at a single partner organization from the public, private or not-for-profit sector. The small-scale, stakeholder-driven partnerships supported through the Partnership Engage Grants are meant to respond to immediate needs and time constraints facing organizations in non-academic sectors. In addressing an organization-specific need, challenge and/or opportunity, these partnerships let non-academic organizations and postsecondary researchers access each other’s unique knowledge, expertise and capabilities on topics of mutual interest.

SSHRC welcomes applications involving Indigenous research, as well as those involving research-creation.

BCRC Call for Proposals for Research Chairs

How to Apply: 

The Beef Cattle Research Council (BCRC) invites proposals from leading research institutions for the establishment of Research Chairs. The deadline is October 1, 2018 at 11:59 PM MT.

Currently, a shortage of scientific experts and research capacity in some areas of beef, cattle and forage research are hindering the ability to conduct priority research that supports improvements in productivity and demand and responds to emerging issues. To fill these gaps, the BCRC is exploring options to establish Research Chairs in key areas with investment of Canadian Beef Cattle Check-Off funding in partnership with other funders.

To procure the strongest opportunities for capacity development and encourage matching investments, Research Chair concepts will be considered through an open call for proposals. The BCRC welcomes proposals that work towards the achievement of its three core research objectives:

  • To enhance industry competitiveness and reduce production costs, priority outcomes are to enhance feed and forage production, increase feed efficiency, and decrease the impact of animal health issues and production limiting diseases.
  • To improve beef demand and quality, priority outcomes are to reduce food safety incidences, define quality and yield benchmarks supporting the Canadian Beef Advantage, and improve beef quality through primary production improvements and the development and application of technologies to optimize cut-out values and beef demand.
  • To improve public confidence in Canadian beef, outcomes are to improve food safety, strengthen the surveillance of antimicrobial use and resistance, develop effective antimicrobial alternatives, ensure animal care, demonstrate the safety and efficacy of new production technologies, improve environmental sustainability and measure the beef industry’s environmental benefits.

The Canadian Hemophilia Society (CHS) is proud to put out its call for applications for its research programs for the 2019-2020 grant period. The deadline to submit applications for all the programs is November 15, 2018. The eligibility criteria and conditions for all our research programs have been revised and updated. Of note, eligibility has been expanded as follows:

Ø  Dream of a Cure: the program is no longer limited to hemophilia A & B-related projects so that projects focusing on von Willebrand disease, rare factor deficiencies, platelet function disorders (and platelet pathophysiology) and other congenital and acquired bleeding disorders can be supported;

Ø  Dream of a Cure Studentshipsin Inherited Bleeding Disorders Research: similarly to our basic scientific research program, the studentships are no longer limited to hemophilia-related projects but include all inherited bleeding disorders. Furthermore, science students in any year of an undergraduate program can apply in addition to medical students in any year of training;

Ø  CHS/Pfizer Care Until Cure Research Program: the areas of interest to which investigators are encouraged to submit proposals has been expanded to include mild hemophilia A and B and Factor Utilization & Cost-effectiveness; all projects included but not limited to the list will be considered;

Ø  CHS/Novo Nordisk Psychosocial Research Programme: applications from Social Workers, Nurses, or Physiotherapists with professional experience in a hemophilia treatment centre (or other comparable settings in which care has been provided to people with hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders) or persons interested in the field of inherited bleeding disorders will be considered. Students in a PhD program in one of the allied health disciplines may also apply. Professionals who have appointments in universities and who can dedicate time to research are encouraged to apply. Professional experience in a hemophilia treatment centre is desirable but not required.

 

DREAM OF A CURE

 

Through funds provided by the Hemophilia Research Million Dollar Club and the CHS, the CHS provides basic scientific research grants and studentships aimed at developing treatments for hemophilia A and B, von Willebrand disease, rare factor deficiencies, platelet function disorders and ultimately, finding a cure.

CHS/Novo Nordisk canada Psychosocial Research Programme

 

The CHS/Novo Nordisk Canada Psychosocial Research Program was created to engage hemophilia program professionals/graduate students from the allied health disciplines (ie. Nursing, Physiotherapy & Social Work) in research activities addressed to understanding the psychosocial impact of hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders and to improve the quality of life of persons and families whose lives are affected by these disorders.

 

The primary intent of this program is to offer one or two $20,000 research grants, to a maximum of $40,000 for one year.

 

Depending upon the number and quality of applications, funding for more than two research grant could be offered within the allotted total budget stated above.

The major portion of each grant would be to cover the research time for the successful candidate(s), including the time for research assistants. A small amount can be devoted to project expenses.

 

Multidisciplinary Collaboration:
Collaboration with multidisciplinary care providers and/or between two or more hemophilia centres is accepted and encouraged. Collaboration efforts may include, for example, social work, physical therapy and genetics. It thus may be possible for a hemophilia centre team to jointly submit a cooperative research project. Additionally, inter-regional applications will be considered.
 
Applications and Deadline:
A letter of intent should be submitted to the Canadian Hemophilia Society by November 15, 2018. The letter, with a maximum of two pages, should identify the researcher, the organization and include a summary description of the intended area of research.


The CHS Peer Review Committee will invite a limited number of candidates to submit a more detailed proposal by January 17, 2019 in order to make a final selection. Grants will be offered for a one-year period to begin in April 2019.
