The Targeted Engagement Grant program aims to drive innovation in defence policy thinking and to foster the next generation of defence and security experts. We are proud to support the exchange of ideas and a diversity of researchers in the domain of security and defence. New forward thinking research and activities are extremely valuable for National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces in the development of evidence-based policy.

The Targeted Engagement Grants (TEGs) are offered through the Mobilizing Insights in Defence and Security (MINDS) Program.

TEGs provide non-recurring financial support, up to a maximum of $50,000CAD, to initiatives such as conferences, workshops, roundtables, research, publications or any other project that aligns with Department of National Defence and Canadian Armed Forces (DND/CAF) policy priorities. Projects must inform current and future defence policy thinking in the Canadian context.

These institutional grants will support will fund networks for Indigenous-led research that support Indigenous research methodologies and knowledge systems.

Canada can do more to recognize and remedy these gaps so that our national space workforce reflects the wealth of Canada's cultural diversity. With this Announcement of Opportunity (AO), Increasing equity, diversity and inclusion in the Canadian space sector, the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) seeks to promote equity and diversity in the next generation of space professionals in Canada and make the Canadian space workforce more inclusive by providing space-related training opportunities for underrepresented populations.

This AO aims to offer under-represented groups an opportunity to increase their level of applied knowledge in space science and technology and promote their professional development in order to increase equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in Canada's space workforce.

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.

The PCC Fellowship Program supports qualified scientists interested in the field of anti-doping, committed to meaningful research, and demonstrating potential for long-term contribution to the field of anti-doping scien​ce. Fellows selected by the PCC participate in a two-year program. Fellows gain practical knowledge from a U.S.-based, WADA-accredited laboratory and conduct research supporting the anti-doping field.

PCC Research Grants support projects advancing knowledge in the anti-doping sphere. Pre-Applications are reviewed two times per year: February 1st and August 1st. Applicants are encouraged to review the research priorities of the PCC before applying.

The Tanaka Fund was established in 1974 as the result of an exchange of gifts between the governments of Canada and Japan. Canada offered $1,000,000 to Japan to promote Canadian studies in Japanese universities, while Japan provided 300 million yen for the enhancement of Japanese studies in Canadian universities. The funds were used to establish the “Japan Foundation Trust Fund for the Promotion of Japanese Studies in Canadian Universities”.

Canadian citizens or permanent residents who are master’s or doctoral level students enrolled at a Canadian university and are conducting research related to Japan with methods in humanities and social sciences. The research must be towards a master’s thesis or doctoral dissertation. PhD candidates are not eligible.

The specific objectives are to create a collaborative Canadian Cannabis and Brain Health Consortium to:

• Undertake data collection, harmonization, and sharing to create a Canadian Cannabis and Brain Health multi-site cohort that will develop a broader understanding concerning brain health effects of cannabis use, which may ultimately lead to guidance for therapeutic and recreational use, as well as for cannabis use disorder;
• Generate and share new knowledge concerning prevalence, patterns, and contributing factors of cannabis use to answer cannabis-related health research questions specific to one of the research priority areas stated above and outlined in the Legislative Review of the Cannabis Act;
• Address pressing issues on cannabis use and brain health from a lifespan perspective and assess the impacts of cannabis legalization/commercialization on health and public health;
• Facilitate data access and enhance knowledge sharing through the CCBHC to address key data gaps to inform policy development at the federal, provincial, territorial and local levels.

OICR is currently inviting applications for a new CATALYST funding stream to support research that leverages existing biospecimens and clinical data to validate biomarkers, molecular signatures, immune correlates or other insights that can improve cancer detection, risk stratification or treatment stratification. The vision of the CATALYST funding stream is to honour patient contributions by accelerating discoveries from available clinical samples. No new sample collection is permitted under this funding opportunity.
