The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) is pleased to announce the call for proposals as part of the 2020-2021 Road Safety Research Partnership Program (RSRPP). This program funds researchers in the broader public sector to conduct cutting-edge, road safety research that supports Ontario’s efforts to improve road safety.

For the 2020-2021 competition, proposals must involve one of the following four key priority areas:

The MTO will be funding up to 3 projects out of a combined pool of $150,000 per year. Projects may span a period of up to 6 months or 18 months, depending on the priority area addressed (please see the Proposal Guidelines). All relevant documents for this funding opportunity are attached, including additional information on the priority areas and detailed instructions on the application process.

We are now accepting submissions and invite you to apply. The deadline for the submission of proposals is September 17, 2020, 11:59 pm Eastern Standard Time.

Cancer Pathology Translational Research Grants will build the capacity of Ontario pathologists to undertake transdisciplinary research projects that advance the field of cancer diagnostic, prognostic or predictive testing and provide learning opportunities for pathology residents or early-career pathologists. This year two granting streams, Stream 3 and the Pathology Image Analysis Stream, are available to support projects that promote research excellence and transdisciplinary collaboration and encourage membership in a pathology research community.

Alberta’s firefighters, police officers, paramedics, sheriffs, corrections officers and emergency health care workers often deal with stressful, dangerous and traumatic situations. This stress has a negative impact on first responders and emergency health care workers. They often experience post-traumatic stress injuries (PTSI) at significantly higher rates than the general population.

The Supporting Psychological Health in First Responders grant program has 2 separate funding streams:

• Stream 1 (Services) provides funding for non-profit organizations that provide services to first responders and emergency health care workers living with or at risk for PTSI.
• Stream 2 (Research) provides funding to researchers engaged in applied research that generates evidence on prevention or intervention for first responders and emergency health care workers living with or at risk for PTSI.

The Project Grant program is expected to:

• Support a diverse portfolio of health-related research and knowledge translation proposals at any stage, from discovery to application, including commercialization;
• Promote relevant collaborations across disciplines, professions, and sectors; and
• Contribute to the creation and use of health-related knowledge.

To continue helping the Canadian social sciences and humanities research community better understand data management and incorporate data management considerations into research practices, SSHRC’s Research Data Management Capacity Building Initiative will continue to fund at least 10 meritorious Connection Grants proposals per competition to support the research community’s development, adoption and dissemination of research data management standards, practices, tools and skills appropriate to their field.

Research data management supports the effective and responsible conduct of research, and increases the ability to store, find and reuse research data. A strong culture of data management will serve Canadian research excellence and support the development of social sciences and humanities insights. It will also benefit Canadian researchers working in international partnerships and collaborations as funders around the globe implement and strengthen data management requirements.

SSHRC, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research released a draft tri-agency research data management policy for community consultation in June 2018. The policy builds on the Tri-Agency Statement of Principles on Digital Data Management (spring 2016). The statement outlines the granting agencies’ expectations about research data management, and the roles and responsibilities of researchers, research communities, institutions and the granting agencies.
