Ground-Breaking Research or Pilot Projects Focused on Long-Term Health Effects for Seriously Disabled Veterans Living with Amputation

Ground-breaking research or pilot projects focused on long-term health effects for seriously disabled Veterans living with amputation
The War Amps Canada CIMVHR Research Grants partnership invites researchers from relevant fields to submit project proposals in competition for funding to accelerate research projects or pilot projects focused on greatly improving the care and/or quality of life for all people living with service-related amputations. Specifically, this call focusses on the impact or interaction of non-pensioned conditions on the well-being and care needs of Veterans with the pensioned condition of amputation, and their family members. Non-pensioned health conditions often stem from service-related conditions (i.e. such as amputation) but are otherwise not recognized or compensated through their VAC Disability Pension and benefits program. Examples of non-pensioned conditions flowing from amputation include cardiac, cancer, diabetic and osteoarthritic conditions. This project can lead to better compensation and/or benefit for Veterans with a pensioned condition of amputation. CIMVHR and The War Amps will work together to brief the successful applicant to understand the Canadian Veteran programs and pension legislation that form the context of this task.
Full Application Deadline: June 21, 2024 at 11:59 PM (EST)
Proposals must be led by at least one Principal Investigator who is an academic researcher affiliated with a Canadian CIMVHR Member University. Proposals from international affiliates can be considered if done in collaboration with a Canadian CIMVHR Member University.
Full details on the call for proposal and research initiative can be found at https://cimvhr.ca/cimvhr-funding-opportunities/.

PhD Students and Early Career Academics Research Grant Programme
How to Apply:
The Olympic Studies Centre (OSC) organises an annual research grant programme intended for PhD Students and Early Career Academics engaged in scholarly research on the Olympic Movement, its history and ideals, and the impact of the Olympic Games on the various aspects of contemporary society and culture.
The objectives of the programme are as follows: Encourage PhD Students and Early Career Academics in their research on any aspect of the Olympic phenomenon with a humanities and/or social sciences perspective. Project proposals dealing with any aspect related to the Olympic Movement and/or the Olympic Games will be considered. Promote the consultation of the IOC historical archives, the image archives and the OSC’s collections.
The following researchers are eligible to apply:
* Students enrolled in a PhD degree programme with a humanities and/or social sciences perspective with Olympism, the Olympic Movement or the Olympic Games as, at least, one of the research foci.
* Candidates can apply if the literature review, theoretical framework and methodology for their study are already clearly defined.
* The project presented should demonstrate a clear contribution to the candidate’s doctoral thesis.
* Academic staff and postdoctoral fellows who completed their doctorate or equivalent highest degree (including masters, depending on the field) in or after 2021 (named or referred to in this programme as “Early Career Academics” (ECA)).
*ECA applicants must hold a university appointment covering the period of the grant (from submission of the application to delivery of the final report).

Analytical Sampling Methods for Substances with an ACGIH TLV
How to Apply:
Section 5.48 of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation provides established exposure limits (ELs) for a worker's exposure to hazardous chemical substances. Generally, these ELs are established according to the TLVs adopted by the ACGIH. Prior to the adoption of new or revised TLVs, WorkSafeBC reviews and consults with stakeholders on potential implementation challenges, including access to validated sampling methods for these substances.
WorkSafeBC is seeking research projects to develop, implement, and/or validate analytical sampling methods for the substances with ACGIH TLVs for which:
• Validated substance-specific sampling methods currently do not exist, and require:
o New analytical methodologies; and/or
o New “Proof-of-Concept” sampling techniques and/or sampling devices.
• Existing methods are not adequate, and require:
o Enhanced analytical sensitivity to improve upon existing analytical detection (e.g. Limit of Quantification (LOQ) issues); and/or
o Modifications to enable reliable sampling and lab analysis of ACGIH assigned size-selective criteria, such as:
o Inhalable, thoracic and respirable fractions; and
o Inhalable Fraction & Vapour (IFV) substances.
