2021 Grants Program strategic initiative: Occupational exposure to asbestos and the development of lung cancer (Systematic review)
How to Apply:
Proposal deadline: February 18, 2022
To express interest and obtain an application form, please email grants@wsib.on.ca.
The WSIB is interested in awarding a grant for a systematic review evaluating the scientific evidence for an association between primary site lung cancer and occupational exposure to asbestos.
Outcomes from the systematic review may be considered by the WSIB to determine whether the scientific evidence meets the recommended standards for scheduling, policy development or to underpin adjudicative support in case-by-case decision-making.
Specifically, the review must address:
- risk of developing primary-site lung cancer in asbestos-exposed workers, with the role of asbestosis also addressed
- Identification of:
- subgroups of workers with occupational asbestos exposure who have an increased risk of developing lung cancer
- any exposure-response trends of increasing risk with increasing duration, frequency or intensity of exposure, including whether there is a minimum cumulative dose of exposure associated with increased risk
- minimal interval (latency) between the first exposure and the development of lung cancer
- any interdependent causes or synergistic relationships with other risk factors
- where available, identification of the scientific evidence on the role of asbestosis

HFSP Research Grant Program
How to Apply:
HFSP Research Grants support innovative basic research into fundamental biological problems with emphasis placed on novel and interdisciplinary approaches that involve scientific exchanges across national and disciplinary boundaries (see guidelines).
Participation of scientists from disciplines outside the traditional life sciences such as biophysics, chemistry, computational biology, computer science, engineering, mathematics, nanoscience or physics is recommended because such collaborations have opened up new approaches for understanding the complex structures and regulatory networks that characterize living organisms, their evolution and interactions.
Research grants are provided for teams of scientists from different countries who wish to combine their expertise in innovative approaches to questions that could not be answered by individual laboratories. Preliminary results are not required and applicants are expected to develop new lines of research through the research collaboration.
It is understood that such research inherently contains risks and HFSP expects that teams of applicants address the risks and outline mitigation strategies for their research in case of failure and how they intend to achieve their goals.
Applications for applied research, including medical research typically funded by national medical research bodies, will be deemed ineligible (see guidelines).
Two types of Grant are available: Research Grants – Early Career and Research Grants – Program.
- Please contact Jill Sherman, International Research Facilitator, if this opportunity is of interest at intl.research@lakeheadu.ca

Energy Innovation Program – Clean Fuels and Industrial Fuel Switching
How to Apply:
In its Net Zero by 2050 report released May 2021, the International Energy Agency states that almost 50% of CO2 emissions reductions required to create a net zero economy by 2050 will come from technologies currently at the prototype or demonstration stage, with this share being much higher for heavy industry. In Canada, heavy industry accounted for 77 meagtonnes (Mt)of CO2 equivalent (eq) in 2019, representing 11% of Canada’s total emissions. Funding solutions to reduce emissions in this sector is critical to address hard-to-abate segments of industrial emissions and create pathways for the use of cleaner fuels.
As part of the Government’s efforts to accelerate the development of technologies that can decarbonize industry, this call for proposals under the Energy Innovation Program will target industrial fuel switching and production of clean fuels for use in hard-to-abate sectors, focusing specifically on three technology areas. NRCan will be making available up to $50 M for focus areas 1 and 2 combined, and up to $3 M for focus area 3.

2021 Platform Support Grants
How to Apply:
Through the Platform Support Grants, Brain Canada continues to fill a critical gap in funding as it pertains to the development, operation, and maintenance of research platforms. Open to investigators working in neuroscience research, this program will support new and/or existing major platforms that are accelerating research, providing access to specialized technology, and creating new data pools. This year, Brain Canada has allocated $15 million dollars to the Platform Support Grants program, to be matched by funding provided by sponsors secured by applicants.
Unique to the Platform Support Grants is the opportunity for organizations, agencies, institutions, and/ or industry partners, and more to join Brain Canada in supporting capacity-building and research development by committing to provide 50% of the total funds requested from a research team. A sponsor may support any number of applications and multiple sponsors may support a single application, but no sponsor can commit less than 20% of the matched funding required for one single application. Historically, research grants awarded through the PSG program have ranged from $138,000 - $6.1 million (including matching funds) across three years.
Interested applicants will be required to first register a team by February 7, 2022 at 16:00 ET
Selected applicants will then be invited to submit a Full Application by April 22, 2022 at 16:00 ET

How to Apply:
Canadian Heritage is partnering with the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) to provide funding support through arms-length Connection Grants. These grants provide assistance to selected events and outreach activities for short-term, targeted knowledge mobilization initiatives. These events and activities represent opportunities to exchange knowledge and engage on research issues related to online disinformation and other related online harms as well as their impact in the Canadian context.
The Joint Initiative has 3 broad objectives:
- to promote Canadian research that will develop better understanding — based on empirical evidence — of the impacts of online disinformation in Canada in order to better inform programs and policies
- to build Canada's capacity to conduct research on and related to countering online disinformation and other related online harms, specifically in the target areas described below
- to help foster a community of research in the digital citizenship and countering online disinformation space in Canada
