The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Awards recognize fundamental contributions in a broad array of areas of scientific knowledge, technology, humanities and artistic creation, as listed in point 2 of these call conditions.

• The due date for applications is 16 February 2024 at 11:59 PM (PST).
• Researchers are invited to apply for a new grant funding opportunity sponsored by DRDC to conduct the quantitative data analysis using the 2024 Your Say Matters (YSM): Defence Team Well-Being Survey and examine attitudes, perceptions and experiences of Regular Force members, Primary Reserve members, and Department of National Defence Public Service personnel in the domains related to well-being, organizational culture, and retention.

• The due date for applications is 12 February 2024 at 11:59 PM (PST).
• Researchers are invited to apply for a new grant funding opportunity sponsored by DRDC to conduct a literature review of PFD in female military populations to get a better understanding of the problem and possible solutions that could be implemented in the future.

Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) has a current requirement to undertake an assessment of the thermal insulation, evaporative resistance, and moisture management properties of in-service and prototype Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) clothing. This information will be used to inform future clothing acquisitions and in the development of heat/cold exposure policies, with the goal of optimizing the performance, health, and safety of CAF members.

Specialized training of young MDs in both clinical care and research skills related to ALS is crucial for building better clinical infrastructure across Canada. This fellowship is designed to support the further training of a clinician to develop the skills necessary to be a specialist in ALS and provide experience/training in clinical or basic research relevant to the field.

One fellowship of up to $200,000 CAD total is available for up to two years. A one-year fellowship of $100,000 CAD may be requested provided appropriate justification is included.

The AMS Doctoral Research award provides funding to doctoral students to help support full-time dissertation writing leading to dissertation completion in the humanities or social sciences, writing on a history of medicine/health care topic – broadly defined as the study of past practices and epistemologies related to human health, healthcare, and disease.

AMS Healthcare is offering grants of up to $30,000 to support projects that will generate new knowledge or translate existing knowledge on the impact of digital technology and artificial intelligence on compassionate health care.

Disruptive Innovation Grants will support preliminary research to establish proof of principle in novel concepts and approaches with the potential to revolutionize cancer prevention, detection and treatment. Disruptive Innovation Grants will support proposals from any research field and discipline that demonstrate the potential for high impact and, where appropriate, seed collaborations among non-traditional cancer fields, such as engineering, AI, robotics, physics, nanoscience, statistics, informatics, computer and data sciences, behavioural science, and any other research domain poised to generate the next generation of disruptive technologies in cancer control. These grants are not intended to support research that represents incremental research in a program of work, or an expansion of previous work, but rather provide truly novel insights and directions for future larger grants that will serve as “game-changers” in the way we approach cancer, disrupting existing methods and displacing the status quo.
