The Indigenous Stream – Call for Proposals
Brain Canada is proud to support Kids Brain Health Network (KBHN) for the Indigenous Stream – Call for Proposals.
This funding opportunity will support impactful projects to improve outcomes for Indigenous children and youth with neurodevelopmental disabilities, while recognizing and honouring the knowledge, priorities, and leadership of Indigenous Peoples.
We invite academics in partnership with Indigenous communities to bring forward projects that:
- Create Impact to measurably improve outcomes for Indigenous children and youth with neurodevelopmental disabilities and their caregivers.
- Are grounded in community-identified priorities, Indigenous knowledge, languages, and strengthen culturally appropriate approaches to care, support, and inclusion.
- Builds capacity, including non-western knowledge capacity, of Indigenous academics and the communities being served.
- Have clearly identified goals, activities, and expected outcomes that can be measured and shared with communities.
- Demonstrate feasibility and sustainability so that projects implemented and their benefits are maintained beyond the funding period.
Click here to review the Call for Proposals
Applications must be submitted by 6 p.m. PST on December 5, 2025
This program is made possible by Kids Brain Health Network and the Canada Brain Research Fund, an innovative arrangement between the Government of Canada, through Health Canada, and Brain Canada
Belmont Forum – Towards the Ocean We Want: Biodiversity and Ecosystem Sustainability for Nature and Human Well-Being (CRA Ocean 2)
The Belmont Forum’s OCEAN 2 CRA supports transdisciplinary research addressing global ocean challenges and contributes to the Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. Projects are expected to last 36 months and involve research consortia with participants from multiple countries and disciplines, including societal partners.
- Biodiversity Conservation and Nature-Based Solutions
- Ocean-Biodiversity-Climate Integration
- Nature Futures, Ocean Governance, and Ethics for Sustainability.
The Belmont Forum is a partnership of funding organizations, international science councils and regional consortia committed to advancing transdisciplinary science. Guided by the Belmont Challenge, the Belmont Forum aims to support international transdisciplinary research that generates knowledge for understanding, adapting to and mitigating global environmental change. As a mechanism to support international collaboration, the Belmont Forum issues collaborative research actions (CRAs) that mobilize funding partners around shared research priorities.
The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) is participating in the Belmont Forum Collaborative Research Action (CRA) “Towards the ocean we want: biodiversity and ecosystem sustainability for nature and human well-being” (Ocean 2), along with other Belmont Forum partners. This CRA aims at coordinating actions and projects through a transdisciplinary approach, fostering co-creation, co-design, and co-implementation of innovative solutions to address global environmental challenges related to the ocean, its biodiversity, from genes to ecosystems. The CRA will fund multinational research teams based on a two-step competition.
NSERC will provide funding through an Alliance-type grant to eligible Canadian researchers in the natural sciences and engineering to support their participation in the funded research projects. For more information about the competition and application process, visit the Belmont Forum website.
Other: Planning and Dissemination Grants – ICS (Winter 2026)
The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to support:
- planning activities, partnership development and to increase understanding of the health research landscape that will contribute to the advancement of research consistent with the mandate of CIHR; and
- dissemination events and activities that focus on the communication of health research evidence to the appropriate researcher or knowledge user audiences, tailoring the message and medium as appropriate.
