INVITATION TO CANADIAN UNIVERSITIES

Sport Canada is accepting proposals from Canadian universities interested in leading Canada’s first Gender Equity in Sport Research Hub. On May 1, 2019, the Minister of Science and Sport, the Honourable Kirsty Duncan, announced funding for the creation of a Gender Equity in Sport Research Hub.

The Research Hub is expected to provide credible thought leadership, and to generate an evidence base to support gender equity in sport through innovative, transparent and sustainable research activities, data curation, network-building and partnerships to contribute to pan-Canadian behaviour change.

Sport Canada will provide $1.65 million over three (3) years (2019-2020 to 2021-2022) to the successful applicant.

Background information and instructions on how to apply can be found on the Sport Canada website. The deadline to submit is October 14, 2019.

If researchers considering applying to this funding opportunity are asked to contact Andrew Hacquoilin the Office of Research no later than September 20, 2019.

The Canadian Harkness Fellowship Award enables the best and brightest Canadian thinkers and leaders to participate in the Harkness Fellowships in Health Care Policy and Practice, a core program of The Commonwealth Fund's International Program in Health Policy and Innovation.

The Commonwealth Fund, in collaboration with CFHI, offers a unique opportunity for promising mid-career professionals — academic researchers, government policy-makers, clinical leaders, senior hospital managers and journalists — to spend a year in the United States studying healthcare delivery system reforms and critical issues on the health policy agenda in both the U.S. and Canada.

Canadian Harkness Fellows bring these lessons back to Canada and continue to work with CFHI (as faculty, speakers, attendees at key thought-leadership events) to inform and develop programming to accelerate health system transformation.

The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) are jointly funding a national Healthy Cities Research Training Platform(HCRTP) to develop an interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral training initiative that will generate cutting-edge knowledge and build capacity for implementation science and solutions-based research.

This funding opportunity will support a team in designing and delivering a national research training initiative focused on how to create, implement, and scale innovative, solution-based interventions in a variety of urban contexts focused on promoting healthy, resilient, sustainable and equitable cities. Accomplishing this goal will require experts from diverse disciplines including public health, epidemiology, economics, sociology, law, ethics, engineering, environmental science and urban planning, which is why partnership across the three research funding agencies is essential.

The application process for the HCRTP will consist of a Letter of Intent (LOI) stage, where up to six successful applicants will receive developmental grants, and a Full Application stage where one application will receive the full grant. The HCRTP is a major component of the CIHR Healthy Cities Research Initiative (HCRI).

The objective of this work is to assess thermal performance of current in-service combat clothing configurations a)-c). 

OCE is pleased to let you know that intake is now open for a new ENCQOR 5G Academic Technology Development Challenge Statement.

The ENCQOR 5G Academic Technology Development Program partners researchers at Ontario-based post secondary institutions with ENCQOR 5G Anchor Firms on 5G technology development projects. Areas of research interest are defined by Challenge Statements submitted to OCE by the ENCQOR 5G Anchor Firms and posted to the OCE website on a rolling basis.

The new challenge statement is listed in the table below.

The Dr. R. K. Dewar Medical Research Grant was established in 1987 by Ms. Helen Dewar to honour the life and work of her brother Dr. Robert Kerr Dewar. Dr. Dewar had faith in the future and progress of medical science and had a keen interest in cutting edge research of his day. He was particularly interested in Neuro-Regeneration and Molecular Biology.

The Thunder Bay Community Foundation looks for the following elements in successful proposals:

• Addresses a small research project or marketing for a health care charity
• Makes an impact on Health Care in Thunder Bay
• Seeks to assist in the future progress of medicine.
• Are organized and well written.
