This award recognizes a young individual (student, postdoctoral fellow, researcher, entrepreneur, etc.) under the age of 35 who proposes an innovative and compelling evidence-based policy that will make a positive difference to Canadians. This award is designed not only to highlight innovative, evidence-driven policy ideas by policy students and young professionals, but also to encourage young people not currently studying, or working on, public policy to share their policy ideas.

Eligible recipients include all young Canadian residents under 35, regardless of their field of study or work.

The Terry Fox New Frontiers Program Project Grants is a long‐standing program involving the best cancer researchers in Canada. This program supports Canadian research teams exploring new frontiers in cancer research (i.e., breakthrough and transformative biomedical, clinical and translational research which may form the basis for innovative cancer prevention, diagnosis and/or treatment).

The Terry Fox New Investigator Awards provide research operating grants to support future leaders as they develop their independent careers in cancer research. The award provides a single research grant of up to $525,000 for three years to investigators within the first five years of a first faculty-level appointment in Canada.

SSHRC and South Africa’s National Research Foundation invite research teams to submit applications to participate in a Seed Grant to build capacity, foster new and existing partnerships, and develop networks and/or consortia among the Canadian and South African research communities focused on key areas of mutual interest between Canada and South Africa.

The Trans-Atlantic Platform (TAP) is pleased to announce its fifth international funding call, Preparing for Tomorrow: Societies and Strategies in Times of Transition.

In a time of profound global uncertainty—shaped by climate change, pandemics, geopolitical tensions, economic disruption, technological transformation, and epistemic challenges—the call will support innovative, transnational social sciences and humanities (SSH) research that strengthens society’s capacity to anticipate, understand, and respond to future challenges and opportunities.

The Canada Research Training Awards Suite – Research Travel Supplements (CRTAS-RTS) provide additional funding to active master’s and doctoral award holders to help offset the costs of undertaking research travel within Canada or outside Canada for a defined period.

The CRTAS is administered by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), NSERC and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and aims to support the next generation of innovators by providing funding and high-quality research training, cultivating research skills, fostering creativity and empowering awardees to make significant contributions to Canada’s research ecosystem, economy and prosperity.

Objectives

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Support early career researchers in initiating and conducting independent research in human development, child and youth health with the goal of building research capacity in this important health research area.
• Generate new knowledge that will contribute to improving human development, child and youth health outcomes, promote health equity, and increase our understanding of the challenges, needs and current gaps in this research area.
• Facilitate knowledge exchange and translation between early career researchers and other stakeholders in human development, child and youth health.
