This funding opportunity involves the investigation of the potential use of advanced finite element model of the head and brain for the monitoring of repeated sub-concussive exposures to blast, impact, and inertial loads.

Researchers are invited to apply for a new funding opportunity which invites investigator-led proposals to conduct an environmental scan to evaluate the role of self-compassion in mitigating moral injury and to assess the effectiveness of self-compassion training within the CAF. This research may inform future training strategies aimed at enhancing resilience and mental health among military personnel.

Researchers are invited to apply for a new grant funding opportunity sponsored by Canadian Forces Health Services (CFHS) Women and Diversity Health program (WDH) to conduct a study exploring approaches to optimize knowledge translation on equity-related health care policies and programs within the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). This project includes the development of a recommended communication and education strategy, approach, or framework for CFHS to utilize as needed.

Historically, opposition to equity-informed policies and programs has been shaped by perceptions of threat and reverse discrimination. This provides an opportunity for the improvement of communication strategies and educational interventions to support understanding, acceptance, and application of evidence-based health care for all members of the CAF. This project will explore opportunities for optimization of change management through communication and education by examining and identifying factors that influence perception and adoption within health care and military operational and planning environments.

Researchers are invited to apply for a new grant funding opportunity sponsored by Canadian Forces Health Services (CFHS) Women and Diversity Health program (WDH) regarding the impact of obesity in women and members with diverse identity factors in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). This research will enable WDH to better understand the operational and health impacts of obesity in these equity-deserving populations, along with the potential impact of medical management, either pharmacological or surgical, or both. This research will be carried out in three distinct sub-component Projects, to address the large number of research questions and objectives, as described below. The funds may be allocated to one or more research teams, based on the proposals received.

Researchers are invited to apply for a new funding opportunity sponsored by Canadian Forces Health Services (CFHS), Women and Diversity Health (WDH), to conduct a scoping review regarding menstrual irregularities associated with the military environment.

This scoping review is required to:

1. Determine the occurrence of menstrual irregularities in Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members, or in other militaries;
2. Describe risk factors for menstrual irregularities in military populations;
3. Identify possible outcomes or impacts that may be associated with menstrual irregularities in CAF members; and
4. Propose areas for further research and/or solutions or interventions appropriate to a military environment, where possible.

Researchers are invited to apply for a new grant funding opportunity sponsored by Canadian Forces Health Services (CFHS) Women and Diversity Health (WDH) to conduct an environmental scan of specialized health services available for diverse populations within the Canadian civilian healthcare system, with a focus on services tailored to the needs of Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC) and gender-affirming care. An assessment of the suitability of these services for future CFHS use should be included.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

1. Undertake multi-sectoral and interdisciplinary team-based research on critical evidence gaps related to avian influenza that will equip knowledge users (such as federal, provincial, territorial, Indigenous, and local organizations and governments) to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the current outbreaks of avian influenza at the interface of people, animals, and ecosystems.
2. Undertake rapid, effective, and culturally safe knowledge mobilization to accelerate the uptake of timely and relevant evidence on the current outbreaks of avian influenza by policymakers, clinicians, public health organizations, animal health professionals, representatives from agricultural sectors, wildlife conservation organizations, and/or knowledge users from local communities, including Indigenous communities, where relevant.

The Burroughs Wellcome Fund aims to stimulate the growth of new connections between thinkers working in largely disconnected fields, who, together, may change the course of climate change’s impact on human health. Between Fall 2023 and Summer 2026, we will dedicate $1 million to supporting small, early-stage grants of $2,500–$50,000 toward achieving this goal.

How can you contribute to increasing the diversity of the Canadian space workforce?

Do you have an innovative project that aims to offer under-represented post-secondary students an opportunity to increase their level of applied knowledge in space science and technology? You could apply for funding if you are an eligible recipient and if your project is designed for one of these under-represented groups: women, Indigenous Peoples, Persons with a disability, and visible minorities, particularly from the Black community.

Don’t miss your chance to apply!

The next submission cycle under the Increasing equity, diversity and inclusion in the Canadian space sector Announcement of Opportunity is closing on October 3^rd, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. (ET). Selected projects are expected to begin in March 2026.
