The specific objectives of the Brain Star program are to:

• Promote research careers in neuroscience, mental health and addiction in Canada.
• Stimulate the involvement of students and trainees in the Institute and increase awareness of INMHA activities among students and trainees.

Award

• A maximum of fifteen awards of $1,500 each are available each calendar year.
• Top-ranked winner of the Brain Star award will be named the Marlene Reimer Brain Star of the Year.
• A profile of award recipient’s research on INMHA’s and CAN’s websites.
• In the case of equal first co-authors, the prize will be divided equally.
• Top three ranked award recipients may be invited to present a summary of their research paper at the Canadian neuroscience meeting. In the case of co-authors, the primary principal applicant will be invited to present.

Global Affairs Leadership Initiative Funds: Open Call for Projects

The Global Arctic Leadership Initiative (GALI) fund is now open for applications! GALI, funded by Global Affairs Canada, allows researchers to fund projects that focus on enhancing Canada's leadership in the Arctic and fostering collaborations in the Circumpolar North.

The two funding opportunities include the Indigenous and Northern Collaborative Research and Education Engagement Fund and the Indigenous and Northern Relationship Development Fund.

Northern Collaborative Research and Education Engagement Fund:

The purpose of this fund is to support researchers with established relationships and partnerships in the Arctic who are interested in continuing their research and education programs in the region in keeping with the UArctic values, Memorial University’s Policy on Research Impacting Indigenous Groups, and supporting priorities within Canada’s Arctic and Northern Policy Framework.

This fund is a maximum total of $40,000 over a 2-year duration.

Northern Relationship Development Fund:

The purpose of this fund is to help researchers at all UArctic member institutions, those in the North and those in the South, establish new relationships or strengthen the existing ones in order to develop collaborative, co-created research projects based on mutual respect and acknowledgment of the deep understanding and knowledge Indigenous and Northern people bring to such projects while ensuring that the academic research and engagement projects meet the needs of the people and the regions where such research takes place.

This fund is a maximum total of $15,000 over a 1-year duration.

Who can apply for these funds:

UArctic and Memorial University encourage engagement between Northern Canadian UArctic member institutions, other Canadian members, and other UArctic member institutions for these initiatives. The lead applicant must come from a Canadian Arctic/Northern UArctic member institution. A complete and updated list of member institutions can be found on the UArctic website.

Due Date for applications:

February 15, 2024

If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to Lisa Goulet, Membership Engagement Coordinator for Canadian UArctic members.

The objective of the Highway Infrastructure Innovation Funding Program (HIIFP) is to encourage Ontario’s academic community to research projects that contribute to generating solutions to current technical challenges encountered by MTO in the construction and maintenance of the provincial highway infrastructure network. These research projects are funded through HIIFP.

A diverse range of specific research topics have been developed by MTO that outline: 1.) the background of the research requirement, 2.) the challenge or problem to be addressed, and 3.) the anticipated outcome and/or research deliverables.

An eligible institution may choose from one of the MTO provided specific research topics or submit their own research topic (i.e., an open research topic).

Research projects awarded the HIIFP grant shall submit a written technical report to be published in the MTO Online Library Catalog. The research team will also present their findings to an MTO Technical Committee interested in the specific subject area.

The Operating Grants Program is the principal means by which the Cancer Research Society (CRS) fulfills its mission to support fundamental, early translational and environment-cancer research on all types of cancer to contribute to the advancement of science aimed at preventing, detecting and treating this disease.

The CRS Operating Grants Competition takes place every year and is open to researchers across Canada.

AMS Healthcare and the Canadian Society for the History of Medicine (CSHM) are pleased to offer four three-month studentships to undergraduate and MA students registered in a Canadian university, for a supervised project in the history of medicine. These studentships offer awardees an opportunity to learn historical research techniques, and they aim to encourage future study of medical history.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Support the creation and/or further development of an inclusive, formal network to address selected priority issues related to ME;
• Encourage national (and if feasible, international) collaboration, methods development, and resource sharing (people and platforms) among multidisciplinary experts;
• Engage researchers and other Network members who have historically faced barriers in the research ecosystem, including but not limited to those marginalized by gender, Indigenous Peoples, racialized minorities, persons with disabilities, and members of LGBTQ2S+ communities;
• Develop and strengthen research capacity by connecting and engaging current researchers and training the next generation of researchers;
• Facilitate the mobilization and uptake of existing knowledge and the new knowledge generated by research evidence; and
• Ensure meaningful patient engagement with a goal of influencing impact beyond the time of this Network.
