TA 39 - Thermal Comfort Testing of Canadian Armed Forces Operational Uniforms
How to Apply:
The objective of this work is to assess thermal performance of current in-service combat clothing configurations a)-c).
This assessment is to include quantitative and qualitative data collection in the form of:
a) Participant testing in controlled temperature environment as identified in the Scope section below;
b) Complete thermal assessment of various testing configurations; and
c) Development and administration of perceived thermal comfort surveys following testing for each participant.
The results of this work will aid to better inform acquisition personnel throughout the development of the next generation operational uniform with improved thermal performance capability. This will in turn help in mitigating occurrence of thermal fatigue, heat exhaustion and heat stroke for CAF members.

Connection Grants
How to Apply:
Connection Grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the Connection program.
These grants support events and outreach activities geared toward short-term, targeted knowledge mobilization initiatives. These events and activities represent opportunities to exchange knowledge and to engage on research issues of value to those participating. Events and outreach activities funded by a Connection Grant may often serve as a first step toward more comprehensive and longer-term projects.
Connection Grants support workshops, colloquiums, conferences, forums, summer institutes, or other events or outreach activities that facilitate:
- disciplinary and/or interdisciplinary exchanges in the humanities and social sciences;
- scholarly exchanges between those working in the social sciences and humanities and those working in other research fields;
- intersectoral exchanges between academic researchers in the humanities and social sciences and researchers and practitioners from the public, private and/or not-for-profit sectors; and/or
- international research collaboration and scholarly exchanges with researchers, students and non-academic partners from other countries.
