The New Investigator (NI) program is a salary award to support new investigators who have demonstrated excellence in their doctoral and post- doctoral training and wish to establish their own independent research career. Salary awards provide an added incentive for researchers to continue or begin their program of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular research within Canada.

The Heart & Stroke Grant-in-Aid (GIA) program provides operating funds to support important, pertinent, novel research in the areas of heart disease and/or stroke.  GIA funding promotes research discovery, exploration and innovation across all health research themes.  Knowledge gained from scientific findings contributes to the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health of Canadians through prevention, treatment, and recovery.

Supporting research to initiate or accelerate the development of solutions that will be required for a sustainable, resilient and profitable agriculture sector in a net-zero economy.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Increase and advance the development of gene therapies for rare disease clinical trials in Canada;
• Generate the evidence required for first-in-human clinical trials, in part by working with Canada's biomanufacturing capacity (National Research Council of Canada) and health technology regulator (Health Canada); and,
• Increase current and future capacity across the Canadian rare disease landscape (i.e., among researchers, knowledge users, patient(s)/caregiver(s)/family) to improve readiness of gene therapies for first-in-human clinical trials.

The Sloan Research Fellowships seek to stimulate fundamental research by early-career scientists and scholars of outstanding promise.

Alliance Missions grants are intended to provide support for research activities that will

• advance Canadian knowledge, models, processes, tools and technologies to optimize efficiency, minimize environmental impacts, and/or support data-driven decisions along domestic critical mineral value chains, from exploration to recycling (e.g., geological and economic modelling of critical mineral deposits, flowsheets, life-cycle analyses, etc.); and/or
• develop efficient options to advance a domestic circular economy with less reliance on primary mineral resources through mine reclamation and/or critical mineral recycling or reprocessing (e.g., mining and industrial waste, end-of-life products, etc.); and/or
• support the development of best practices in technology, innovation and collaborative ventures (e.g., best practices to advance vertical integration across the sector, etc.).
