The Trans-Atlantic Platform (TAP) is pleased to announce its fifth international funding call, Preparing for Tomorrow: Societies and Strategies in Times of Transition.

In a time of profound global uncertainty—shaped by climate change, pandemics, geopolitical tensions, economic disruption, technological transformation, and epistemic challenges—the call will support innovative, transnational social sciences and humanities (SSH) research that strengthens society’s capacity to anticipate, understand, and respond to future challenges and opportunities.

The Canada Research Training Awards Suite – Research Travel Supplements (CRTAS-RTS) provide additional funding to active master’s and doctoral award holders to help offset the costs of undertaking research travel within Canada or outside Canada for a defined period.

The CRTAS is administered by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), NSERC and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and aims to support the next generation of innovators by providing funding and high-quality research training, cultivating research skills, fostering creativity and empowering awardees to make significant contributions to Canada’s research ecosystem, economy and prosperity.

Objectives

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Support early career researchers in initiating and conducting independent research in human development, child and youth health with the goal of building research capacity in this important health research area.
• Generate new knowledge that will contribute to improving human development, child and youth health outcomes, promote health equity, and increase our understanding of the challenges, needs and current gaps in this research area.
• Facilitate knowledge exchange and translation between early career researchers and other stakeholders in human development, child and youth health.

Recognizing excellence and pivotal contributions to health science for Canada, for the world.

If you are interested in being nominated for this award, please contact Andrew Hacquoil at ahacquo1@lakeheadu.ca.

This program is ideal for small- and medium-sized companies that require co-investment and the support of strategic partners to develop, test, validate and demonstrate automotive and mobility technologies in four focus areas: Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (C/AV), Smart Mobility and AI, Electric Vehicles (EV), Advanced Charging and Vehicle to Grid (A/C & V2G), and Semiconductor and Hardware (S&H).

Alliance Quantum grants delivered through this call for proposals will support projects that advance the development and adoption of quantum technologies in Canada through partnerships between university researchers and organizations from the private, public or not-for-profit sectors. These projects will generate new knowledge and further the translation of research results into tangible benefits for Canada.

Each year, CIMVHR is proud to support the next generation of researchers through our scholarships and award program. The application portal is is now open!

The Team Grant: Funding Research for Evidence in School Food and Health (FRESH) aims to generate actionable, high-quality evidence to inform and improve school food policy, programming and practice across Canada. This funding opportunity supports intersectoral, interdisciplinary research led by a tripartite leadership team composed of researchers, decision-makers, and knowledge users.

Eligible research must focus on School food programs (SFPs) in all their diversity within the Canadian context, so long as the programs are delivered to children and youth during the school year and in schools or school-like settings (e.g., elementary schools, secondary schools, community centres, etc.). A broad range of research methods and approaches are welcome, including but not limited to: cross-jurisdictional or comparative studies; implementation science; mixed-methods; longitudinal studies; quasi-experimental designs; econometrics; policy studies; community-engaged research; systems research; and Indigenous and decolonizing methodologies. Research proposals must explicitly focus on the link between SFPs and population health and health equity.

In line with the NSF-Policy, successful FRESH Teams must take an equity focus with respect to research outcomes (SFPs' potential role in reducing health inequities); research priorities (assessing the extent to, and ways in which, equity is embedded in the design and delivery of school food policies and programming); and research processes (research methods and team composition, if applicable).

 
Normally, one (1) prize is awarded annually in each of five (5) disciplines. The Killam Prize is valued at $100,000 CAD.  They are awarded annually, on a competitive basis, for research done in any of the following disciplines:

• Engineering
• Health sciences
• Humanities
• Natural sciences
• Social sciences

The Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (CAHS) is pleased to announce the call for nominations for Emerging Leaders in Health Sciences. The deadline for submissions is Friday May 22, 2026.
