Supporting research to initiate or accelerate the development of solutions that will be required for a sustainable, resilient and profitable agriculture sector in a net-zero economy.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Increase and advance the development of gene therapies for rare disease clinical trials in Canada;
• Generate the evidence required for first-in-human clinical trials, in part by working with Canada's biomanufacturing capacity (National Research Council of Canada) and health technology regulator (Health Canada); and,
• Increase current and future capacity across the Canadian rare disease landscape (i.e., among researchers, knowledge users, patient(s)/caregiver(s)/family) to improve readiness of gene therapies for first-in-human clinical trials.

The Sloan Research Fellowships seek to stimulate fundamental research by early-career scientists and scholars of outstanding promise.

Alliance Missions grants are intended to provide support for research activities that will

• advance Canadian knowledge, models, processes, tools and technologies to optimize efficiency, minimize environmental impacts, and/or support data-driven decisions along domestic critical mineral value chains, from exploration to recycling (e.g., geological and economic modelling of critical mineral deposits, flowsheets, life-cycle analyses, etc.); and/or
• develop efficient options to advance a domestic circular economy with less reliance on primary mineral resources through mine reclamation and/or critical mineral recycling or reprocessing (e.g., mining and industrial waste, end-of-life products, etc.); and/or
• support the development of best practices in technology, innovation and collaborative ventures (e.g., best practices to advance vertical integration across the sector, etc.).

The Vancouver Whistler 2025 hybrid winter Invictus Games offer a unique opportunity to make a further, significant contribution to the research legacy of the Invictus Games by examining the impact of an outdoor sport setting versus an indoor setting, coupled with a degree of controlled exposure to risk (adventure sports) on injured military and Veterans and their families and caregivers. These Games lend themselves to the evaluation of several emerging trends in sports recovery, physical activity, and adventure therapy by optimizing the acute and chronic benefits associated with participating in a wider range of activities for competitors. In particular, we are keen to understand the specific impacts of the first ever Invictus Games in a winter environment, which in turn can inform future programming decisions in Canada and across other nations. This Call for Proposals is seeking submissions to complete the following - Rapid Literature Review to inform the 2025 Invictus Games Research Legacy Project

The Postdoctoral Fellowships (PDF) program provides support to a core of the most promising researchers at a pivotal time in their careers. The fellowships are also intended to secure a supply of highly qualified Canadians with leading-edge scientific and research skills for Canadian industry, government and academic institutions.
