The Energy Innovation Program – On-road Transportation Decarbonization Call for Proposals will help decarbonize the transportation sector by funding research, development, and demonstration projects that:

• Address technical and market barriers to the demonstration or deployment of zero/low-emission on-road medium & heavy-duty vehicles (MHDVs).
• Increase the uptake of zero-emission on-road vehicles.
• Improve the transportation system’s overall efficiency.

This call will not support "inside-the-cell" battery specific innovation or off-road transportation related innovation. NRCan will continue to consider potential future programming focused on these important priorities. Projects focusing on electrical powertrain components located outside the battery cells, including battery module components, such as the battery management system (BMS), are eligible under this call.

The Betty Havens Prize funding opportunity is expected to:

• recognize outstanding achievements and excellence in knowledge mobilization (KM) in aging at a local or regional level; and,
• provide financial support to further foster excellence and innovation in KM activities.

The OVIN’s R&D Partnership Fund – WinterTech Development Program provides funding for Ontario small and medium enterprises (and their partners) to validate, test, prototype, and demonstrate new products and technologies that have been designed to meet the demands of winter weather conditions.

OVIN's R&D Partnership Fund – Electric Vehicle (EV) – Stream 2 Program provides funding for projects related to the development and demonstration of technologies for electric vehicles (EV) and battery manufacturing technologies, under the following priority areas:

• Mass light vehicles, such as cars, trucks and vans
• Heavy duty vehicles, including commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, recreational vehicles (RVs), and others used for goods movement
• Charging infrastructure
• Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
• Transit-supportive systems and vehicles

OVIN's R&D Partnership Fund – C/AV and Smart Mobility – Stream 2 Program provides funding for projects that are related to the development, testing, validation, and demonstration of connected and autonomous vehicle (C/AV) and smart mobility technologies within these priority areas:

• Mass light vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and vans
• Heavy duty vehicles, including commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, recreational vehicles (RVs), and others used for goods movement
• Transportation infrastructure
• Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
• Transit-supportive systems and vehicles

INMD supports research to enhance health in relation to diet, digestion, excretion, and metabolism; and to address causes, prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, support systems, and palliation for a wide range of conditions and problems associated with hormone, digestive system, kidney, and liver function. The INMD Early Career Researcher (ECR) Partnership Prize will support ECR Prizes awarded by Partner Organizations (voluntary health sector organizations such as non- profit organizations, professional organizations and registered charities) that recognize outstanding research relevant to the Institute's mandate. INMD will fund a maximum amount for a single prize of $2,500 per Partner Organization. For information on INMD, please refer to the INMD website and INMD Strategic Plan 2021-2026.

Mental illness is the leading cause of disability in Canada. Evidence-based research has established that mental illness is a significant cause of limited quality of life, an important risk factor for premature mortality, and costly with respect to societal welfare.

Brain Canada, Krembil Foundation, and Women’s Brain Health Initiative (WBHI), with the support of The Erika Legacy Foundation and Power Corporation of Canada have launched the Basics of Better Mental Health Program, which will fund experimental research that will provide insight into the causes and onset of mental illnesses, explore the neuropathological changes and information-processing deficits that may eventually lead to new directions for treatments and interventions, and explore the role of sex and gender in mental health.  

The inclusion of sex-specific biological considerations in mental health research is important for understanding the biological roots of mental illnesses. Mental health disorders that may be explored, but are not limited to, in this competition are; depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and substance use disorders.

A $3.3M pool of funds will be available for this program to support three team grants of $1.1M each, over three years.

The Terry Fox New Frontiers Program Project Grants is a long‐standing program involving the best cancer researchers in Canada. These programs support Canadian research teams exploring new frontiers in cancer research (i.e., breakthrough and transformative biomedical, clinical and translational research which may form the basis for innovative cancer prevention, diagnosis and/or treatment).

The Terry Fox New Investigator Award provides research operating grants to support future leaders as they develop their independent careers in cancer research. The award provides a single research grant of up to $450,000 for three years to investigators within the first five years of a first faculty-level appointment in Canada.
