The Stratas Foundation is the first 100% volunteer-run charity in Canada dedicated to funding mental health research. Help us invest in new, innovative ideas by applying for funding below.

The National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP) aims to foster and support collaborative industrial research and development (R&D) projects with a high potential for commercialization. This call for proposals is open to Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and organizations from Eureka member countries who wish to form project consortia to perform collaborative projects focused on developing innovative products, processes, or technology-based services with a civilian (non-military) purpose in any technological and market area.

Please contact Jill Sherman at intl.research@lakeheadu.ca for more information.

The call is open for applications to the Royal Wolfson Society Visiting Fellowships program to the UK, for NSERC- and CIHR-related disciplines.  The program targets senior researchers for a flexible 12-month stay (ideal for sabbaticals).  There are usually 3 calls per year.  These awards can be held for up to 12 months full-time (with a minimum stay of three months) or flexibly over two years. Candidates can request up to £125,000.  Funds can be used to cover a bursary (however cannot be used to supplement ongoing salary), research expenses, and relocation expenses.   Researchers must be nominated by a representative of the host institution before they can apply.

Application deadlines:  07 August 2024  (2024 Round 3); 11 Sept- 06 Nov 2024 (2025 Round 1).

Researchers are invited to apply for a new grant funding opportunity sponsored by Canadian Forces Health Services (CFHS), Director of Women and Diversity Health (DWDH), to conduct a systematic or scoping review regarding barriers to access and use of contraception in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), other military forces, and Canadian and Global populations. This systematic or scoping review is required to determine what research exists to date on the barriers patients face when accessing or using long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) and/or short-acting reversible contraception (SARC), with a hierarchical priority of studies which investigate the CAF members, other military members, Canadians, and then Global population.

Researchers are invited to apply for a new grant funding opportunity sponsored by Canadian Forces Health Services (CFHS) Director of Women and Diversity Health (D WDH) to conduct a Needs Assessment. The aim of this Needs Assessment is to identify priority health research areas for women and diverse members in the CAF, and to identify existing barriers to carrying out health research for these populations. This requires broad consultation with patients, partners and stakeholders, including Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) women and diverse members, CFHS, VAC and other federal partners, and academic researchers, among others. The Needs Assessment will include recommendations regarding how to address identified barriers, propose improvements that can be made to the research environment and propose high priority research topics for D WDH.
