Global Affairs Canada is offering short-term scholarships to students from member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) wishing to study or conduct research in Canada.
For more information, please also contact
Ms. Maiko Scorgie, Coordinator-International Relations, maiko.scorgie@lakeheadu.ca.
The Canada-ASEAN Scholarships and Educational Exchanges for Development (SEED), announced by the Government of Canada in August 2017, will provide approximately 125 scholarships in 2020-2021 for study or research in fields that are aligned with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Canadian post-secondary academic institutions can now submit scholarship applications on behalf of students from eligible countries by March 5, 2020. Only applications submitted directly by Canadian post-secondary academic institutions will be considered. Lakehead University internal deadline for applications: Sunday, February 21, 2021 (11:59pm EST).
Interested candidates are invited to contact their home institution’s international office to learn about institutional partnerships and collaborations with Canadian institutions. Home institutions in ASEAN member states will then provide the eligible candidates’ documentation to the Canadian institutions.
In the 2019-2020 academic year, Canada awarded 141 scholarships to Southeast Asian students who studied in 33 institutions across 8 Canadian provinces.

The District of Thunder Bay Social Services Administration Board (TBDSSAB) is seeking applications from organizations for the Community Homelessness Prevention Initiative (CHPI) Food Security Fund.
CHPI’s goal is to establish creative and innovative approaches to homelessness that align with TBDSSAB’s housing and homelessness plan and support the province’s goal to end chronic homelessness by 2025. The CHPI Food Security Fund aims to provide financial support to food security initiatives that help address and prevent homelessness in the District of Thunder Bay.
The deadline for submissions is January 31, 2021. Applications must be reviewed by the Office of Research and signed off by the University prior to submission.
All researchers in the NSE, regardless of their career stage, can be nominated for this award for their research conducted in Canada. The outstanding research that led to the exceptional benefits described in the nomination must have been supported, at least partially, by NSERC, and the research must be primarily in the NSE. Self-nominations will not be accepted, and current NSERC Council members are not eligible for nomination.
In order to be nominated as an individual, you must hold an NSERC research grant.
In order to be nominated as a team, at least one of your team members must hold an NSERC research grant. The majority of your team members must be employed at a Canadian university, Canadian federal or provincial government lab, or private firm active in Canada.
The NSERC Donna Strickland Prize for Societal Impact of Natural Sciences and Engineering Research is awarded annually to an individual or team whose outstanding research, conducted in Canada in the natural sciences and engineering (NSE), has led to exceptional benefits for Canadian society, environment and/or economy.

The Summer Program in Aging (SPA) is the Institute of Aging’s (IA) flagship training program. It aims to provide graduate students and postdoctoral fellows involved in aging research with a program of advanced training that crosses disciplines, sectors, institutions, and geography. The program will bring together approximately 40 research trainees and numerous academic mentors to participate in interactive learning sessions. The focus of SPA 2021 is on longitudinal studies in aging, and will be led by Dr. Parminder Raina, Scientific Director for the McMaster Institute for Research on Aging (MIRA).
Longitudinal population-based studies of aging have established scientific value for evaluating extrinsic and intrinsic exposures in relation to healthy aging, psychosocial, and disease outcomes. The prospective cohort design is unique in its ability to measure the occurrence of exposure before the onset of the outcome, and to evaluate numerous exposures and outcomes in a single study. Longitudinal cohorts like the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) are instrumental in spurring mechanistic and translational research activities. The epidemiologic transition over the last century has resulted in a shift in disease burden from infectious diseases towards morbidity and mortality due to chronic diseases. This, coupled with low infant mortality rates, low fertility rates, and increasing life expectancies, has resulted in health and social care debates across the developed world that require quality population-based longitudinal data to not only address the needs of the current aged population but to provide ongoing insight into the needs and requirements of future aging cohorts.

Food is a critical component of all human space exploration missions; but even more so for future missions to the Moon and Mars. As space missions increase in duration and extend further away from Earth there is a need to reduce the resupply of food from Earth while at the same time provide astronauts enjoyable, yet nutritious foods, to ensure they remain at their physical and psychological best. Innovative food systems that maximize safe and nutritious food outputs, with minimal inputs, will be key for sustainable human presence on the lunar surface and for future missions to Mars.
Food security is a significant chronic challenge on Earth in urban, rural, Northern and remote communities, and within “harsh” environments. Through this challenge, innovators will develop compact and novel advanced food production solutions that have the potential to further enhance local production, reduce food supply chain shortages, and reduce the impact on the resources needed for food production in extreme environments, disaster-affected areas and resource-scarce regions.
The Deep Space Food Challenge is a joint prize competition launched in parallel by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), the National Aeronautics and the Space Administration (NASA) Centennial Challenges Program, and their allied organization, the Methuselah Foundation.
International collaboration has been key to the success of countless space missions. This Challenge represents a first of its kind collaboration between CSA and NASA in the organization of a prize competition to support the space policies of the Government of Canada and the United States Government while having broader terrestrial benefits.
The Canadian component of the Deep Space Food Challenge is intended to incentivize Canadian innovators to advance food production technologies to support long-duration missions in space and to improve the accessibility of nutritious food across Canada, including the North.
The Deep Space Food Challenge seeks to create novel food production technologies or systems that require minimal inputs and maximize safe, nutritious, and palatable food outputs for long-duration space missions, and which have potential to benefit people on Earth.
The Deep Space Food Challenge is a stage-gated challenge and is expected to be comprised of three phases:
For U.S. and Other International Applicants, note that at this time, NASA has only released official rules for Phase 1. For additional details on the NASA-managed competition, visit deepspacefoodchallenge.org.
