Fulbright Canada Research Chairs are intended for Canadian citizens who are exceptional scholars and/or experienced professionals who wish to conduct research and/or lecture in the United States.

Fulbright Canada Research Chairs are pre-arranged affiliations that allow scholars to conduct research/lecture on subjects important to that university. Partner universities are excited to welcome the Fulbright Visiting Chairs into campus life and encourage them to engage with students, faculty, and the broader community. Fulbright Visiting Research Chairs can guest lecture in university courses, mentor students, lecture in public venues, network, and promote their research, while representing the Fulbright program, and their home and host institutions.

Please contact Jill Sherman at intl.research@lakeheadu.ca for more information.

Traditional Fulbright awards are open to Canadian scholars in all fields and are designed to enable emerging and established scholars, post-doctoral researchers and experienced professionals to conduct research, teach, or undertake a combination of both activities for one semester or a full academic year at any university or research center of their choice in the United States.

Specialization: While the competition is open to all disciplines, Fulbright Canada is particularly interested in encouraging research on contemporary issues relevant to Canada, the United States and the relationship between the two countries. Applicants should also clearly document the need to be in residence in the United States to carry out the project.

Apply for funding that recognizes innovative and impactful housing research, training knowledge mobilization and outreach.

CMHC's Housing Research Awards are helping to build and sustain Canada’s culture of research-based knowledge. Applicants can access funding of up to $25,000 for your housing-related research.

This interdisciplinary social sciences and humanities research network would foster innovative research, partnership and training activities pertaining to:

• social and socio-economic impacts of policy actions in agriculture in a net-zero future;
• behavioural and societal influences on agricultural practices in the agricultural and food sector; and
• approaches to scale up adoption of practices that contribute to Canada’s climate and environmental goals.

More specifically, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Network on Sustainable Agriculture in a Net-Zero Economy would be used to share knowledge among various groups to maximize learning outcomes in the social sciences and humanities in agriculture, climate and environmental research. The research network would bring together researchers and practitioners from all sectors and communities to enhance learning, expertise and knowledge sharing across Canada. It would also create workshops, conferences and other knowledge sharing events, as well as research, training activities and ongoing collaborations for those involved to develop their expertise and amplify research outcomes.

If you are interested in applying to this funding opportunity, please contact Andrew Hacquoil (ahacquo1@lakeheadu.ca) no later than June 10, 2023.

The goal of the Data Analysis Grants is to use existing cohorts, data platforms and/or administrative datasets to advance healthy cities intervention research and implementation science specifically by addressing one or more of the following objectives:

• Evaluating the impact on health and health equity of interventions to the physical, social or policy environment (including health system–mediated interventions);
• Contributing analyses to directly inform the planning of physical, social or policy interventions with the purpose of improving urban population health or health equity;
• Addressing critical contextual questions related to the implementation of one or more interventions and scaling up (knowledge sharing) of evidence-based interventions (including health system-mediated interventions);
• Filling knowledge gaps that are critical for laying the foundation for future population health intervention research in urban areas. For example, increasing our understanding around how interventions may impact populations differentially according to gender, age, race, culture, ethnicity, income, or dis/ability;
• Developing and/or validating indicators and other data or evaluation tools that enable robust, comparable, replicable and equitable healthy cities intervention research and implementation science (including health system-mediated interventions).
