The NSERC Awards for Science Promotion focus on individuals and groups who are inspirational in the way they promote science to the general public.

Science promotion activities with award potential could include activities such as:

• organizing science camps, fairs, clubs or mentorship programs with youth organizations
• enhancing equity, diversity and inclusion in existing programming
• creating new learning materials
• sharing best practices for outreach in science and engineering
• developing science and engineering-related co-op programs or job- shadowing initiatives
• arranging demonstrations, visits and lectures
• writing books and articles
• creating radio or television programs
• generating public involvement through multi-media programs

 If you are interested in being nominated for this award, please contact Dr. Batia Stolar, Associate Vice-President, Research & Graduate Studies, at avp.research@lakeheadu.ca

Call Description: Currently funding is available from The Egg Farmers of Ontario for research that meets the priorities outlined by the Egg Farmers of Ontario.
Additional Criteria

• $20K per year individual project cap
• 5-year maximum time line per project with a formal review after 3 years. This review will be designed to ensure
the project is on track and meeting both milestone and budget targets.
In some cases where warranted, it will provide an opportunity to incorporate any revision to the project design.
• Research projects should be targeting outcomes that benefit Ontario Egg Farmers.
• Disclosure of all funding partners supporting total project costs is required

The following services of the Sub Contractor are required: investigate the etiology of post-traumatic knee osteoarthritis (OA) through advanced molecular medicine and engineering techniques, perform in vitro and/or in vivo investigations of post-traumatic osteoarthritis disease progression, investigate Health Canada Approved pharmacological and regenerative medicine attenuation strategies, document all procedures and generate output data tables for generation of academic publications/manuscripts by DRDC and/or other labs.

Based upon the primary data collection findings derived from W7714-145967/001/SV Task 52, there is a requirement for a Sub Contractor to design an empirical study that identifies the relative importance of Road to Mental Readiness (R2MR) training characteristics (i.e., content, delivery method, and accessibility) that correspond with optimal preferences from the perspective of a Canadian Armed Forces member/trainee. Further, the Sub Contractor will analyze the study data and provide recommendations for prioritized targets that can be used to improve the perceived satisfaction and training value of mental health and resilience training in the CAF.

Canada’s clean fuels industry must immediately, and significantly, increase its current capacity to play the critical role needed in our net-zero future. To do this, it will be essential to overcome the barrier of the upfront capital cost that private sector investment faces in the buildout of new clean fuels production capacity.

To that end, the Clean Fuels Fund will provide the private sector with cost-shared, conditionally repayable funding to build new, or retrofit or expand existing, clean fuel production facilities in Canada.

Support is also available for feasibility studies, basic engineering studies and detailed front-end engineering studies for new facilities, facility expansions or facility conversions

Eureka's CELTIC-NEXT cluster, a transnational and industry-driven research, development and innovation program in the telecommunication sector, has launched its multilateral call for proposals for joint research and development (R&D) projects. The CELTIC Core Group consists of 16 members from 10 countries mainly in the European telecoms industry, including Adva, Bosch, British Telecom, Deutsche Telekom, Ericsson, Indra, Itatel, Netas, Nokia, Orange, RAD Data Communications, Telefonica, Telenor, Thales, Turkcell, and Turk Telecom.

Faculty members interested in this call should contact Jill Sherman, International Research Facilitator, at intl.research@lakeheadu.ca.

The specific objective of the SPA 2023 program funding opportunity is to:

• Provide funding to develop and implement an intensive capacity-building program on the topic ‘Oldest Old’. The host of SPA 2023 will:
  • Develop the program and curriculum for an advanced training program for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows that crosses disciplines, sectors, institutions and geography
  • Recruit and lead a planning and coordination team for SPA 2023
  • Coordinate and manage the logistics related to the successful implementation of the SPA 2023 program

The Burroughs Wellcome Fund aims to stimulate growth of new connections between scholars working in largely disconnected fields who might together change the course of climate change’s impact on human health. Over the next two years, we will dedicate $1M to supporting small, earlystage grants of $2,500 - $50,000 toward achieving this goal.

The Canadian Frailty Network (CFN) is looking to fund at least three Regional Centres for Healthy Aging (RCHA) in spreading the implementation of CFN’s AVOID Frailty Program – a community-driven health intervention that aims to enable uptake and maintenance of healthy behaviours among older adults. The selected regional centres will spread the AVOID Frailty Program by engaging and empowering community members and organizations. It is expected that the regional centres will foster an enabling environment for behaviour change that includes co-ordinated assistance for older adults to identify, navigate, and access local health and social services. Using an approach that incorporates both a digital platform (specifically modified and adapted for AVOID Frailty) and personnel support, behaviour change strategies (i.e., education, self-monitoring, and nudging) will aim to facilitate individual-level and community-level adoption of evidence-based behaviours of healthy aging.
