Designed to help launch the careers of outstanding researchers who are within the first 6 years of their initial academic appointment
Graduates with a PhD or MD who wish to gain additional research experience within an established research environment.
An opportunity for promising individuals, pursuing a PhD, to begin the process of becoming future independent investigators in the field of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.
Under the Horizon Europe Framework, ERC Synergy grants support transformative research by a small group of two to four Principal Investigators who seek to address ambitious research problems that cannot be solved by individual investigators/teams working alone. Each group can include one PI / Host institution outside of the EU or Associated Countries. Funding can be up to 10 million Euros for up to 6 years (shorter projects are also eligible and prorated). Additional funds are available for start up costs, purchase of major equipment, and access to large facilities. Calls are held once a year, in all scientific fields. For more information, go to: https://erc.europa.eu/funding/synergy-grants. For assistance with applications, contact Jill Sherman, intl.research@lakeheadu.ca.
On September 22, 2022, we will launch the annual Resource Allocation Competition (RAC), a peer-reviewed process to grant priority access to compute, storage and cloud resources beyond what can be obtained via the Rapid Access Service.
Visit our website for the RAC application guide, as well as information on eligibility and submission requirements.
Applications must be submitted electronically through the CCDB by Wednesday, November 2, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.

Beef Farmers of Ontario is excited to announce a call for Letters of Intent (LOI) for research projects that will enhance the sustainability of the beef industry in Ontario. BFO is committing $200,000 per year for each of the next three years. Following a review of LOIs, selected initiatives will be asked for a full proposal. Please note that projects must be completed by December 31st, 2025.
The overarching goal of the BFO Beef Research Program is to increase the development, adaptation, assessment, and easy adoption of on-farm technologies that help beef producers respond to changing demands, and to quantify and investigate emerging issues of importance to the Ontario and broader Canadian beef industry.
The BFO Research Committee recently considered both opportunities and problems facing the industry as well as current BFO, OMAFRA, and BCRC research priorities. While we are open to all ideas and encourage creativity and out-of-the-box thinking, the committee did identify the following topics, listed in no particular order, as being of particular interest:
1. Animal health and welfare
2. Antimicrobial use, resistance and alternatives
3. Food safety
4. Forages
5. Environmental sustainability
6. Other:
Qualified scholars of any nationality or institutional affiliation are eligible. Independent scholars and senior scholars are welcome to apply. Individuals who are within 5 months of receiving their doctorate or equivalent degree may apply, but they must complete their degree before the start date listed on their application form.
This grant program funds individual research projects undertaken by doctorates in anthropology or a closely related field. Our goal is to support vibrant and significant work that furthers our understanding of what it means to be human. There is no preference for any methodology, research location, topic, or subfield. The Foundation particularly welcomes proposals that integrate two or more subfields and pioneer new approaches and ideas.
