the highway infrastructure innovation funding program provides funding to ontario universities and colleges to encourage applied research in topics related to transportation infrastructure in ontario. this program solicits research proposals from institutions to assist the ministry in meeting our current and future challenges, and to encourage undergraduate and graduate research in transportation and infrastructure related engineering.

the hiifp challenges ontario's academic community to contribute to transportation infrastructure solutions in a number of areas including traffic operations, intelligent transportation systems, engineering materials, investment planning, highway design, environmental, geomatics, bridges, construction and maintenance.

every year the killam program offers awards to outstanding canadian scholars working in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, health sciences and engineering. these awards are among canada’s most distinguished research awards. they are made possible through the killam trusts by a bequest of mrs. dorothy j. killam, and a gift she made before her death in 1965. recipients are chosen by a committee of 15 eminent canadian scholars appointed by the canada council.

a fellowship from this program provides two full years of release time, beginning no later than 1 january following notification of the fellowship (you may not request less than the full two-year fellowship period). the support for the second year depends on approval of your interim report.

killam research fellowships are valued at $70,000 per year. the funds assist your institution to cover the costs of replacing you (while still paying your regular salary and benefits) during the two-year fellowship period.

the sd natural gas fund™ acts in collaboration with the canadian gas association and supports the development and demonstration of new downstream natural gas technology. for 2016, the sd natural gas fund™ is focused on cleantech that works to meet: residential, commercial, industrial, power generation, transportation and renewable natural gas objectives and goals (expanded priority listing online at sdtc.ca).

sdtc’s sd tech fund™ supports technologies that address the challenges of clean air, soil, water and climate change. this year, sdtc has issued five areas of priority for sd tech fund applicants (expanded listing online at sdtc.ca):

1. responsible natural resource development
2. carbon-free power generation and distribution
3. remote and northern community utility systems
4. energy efficiency for industry and communities
5. next generation technologies with longer-term benefits for canada

• biofuels and biorefineries

• sustainable agriculture and food security

• biodiversity protection and enhancement

applications are submitted by companies but can involve academic partners.

the bmfrp idea development award is intended to support innovative ideas and high-impact approaches based on scientifically sound evidence to move toward the bmfrp vision of understanding and curing bmf syndromes. this award mechanism is designed to support new ideas. proposed research studies should have a high probability of revealing new avenues of investigation. research projects should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale and a developed and well-articulated research approach. personnel on the proposed team should have a strong background in bmf research. this funding opportunity is open to established and early career investigators.

connection grants support events and outreach activities geared toward short-term, targeted knowledge mobilization initiatives. these events and activities represent opportunities to exchange knowledge and to engage on research issues of value to those participating. events and outreach activities funded by a connection grant may often serve as a first step toward more comprehensive and longer-term projects potentially eligible for funding through other sshrc funding opportunities.

connection grants proposals are expected to meet the objectives of the connection program.

connection grants support workshops, colloquiums, conferences, forums, summer institutes or other events or outreach activities that facilitate:

• disciplinary and/or interdisciplinary exchanges in the humanities and social sciences;
• scholarly exchanges between those working in the social sciences and humanities and those working in other research fields;
• intersectoral exchanges between academic researchers in the humanities and social sciences and researchers and practitioners from the public, private and/or not-for-profit sectors; and/or
• international research collaboration and scholarly exchanges between researchers, 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and non-academic partners from other countries.

a limited number of travel awards to phd or md/phd 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , and post-doctoral/medical/clinical fellows are available. the purpose of this program is to defray the travel costs associated with making a scientific presentation as a first author or presenter at a conference, symposium or other appropriate professional meeting.

quality of life research grants have been created to support quality of life cancer research that has the potential to make a significant impact on the burden of disease in patients, survivors and caregivers. these grants are intended to explore psychosocial, survivorship, symptom control, supportive care and end-of-life issues, research gaps, needs and opportunities, or models for survivorship care. the grants are meant to accelerate and focus the knowledge gained from scientific findings, in the short or long term, into outcomes that will result in the reduced burden or enhanced quality of life for cancer patients in canada and elsewhere.

the goal of this grant program is to support and accelerate research addressing the creation and application of new knowledge relevant to improving quality of life (as described above). the program is particularly interested in research that has the potential for practical applications within the domain of knowledge translation. applications can be from multidisciplinary teams or individual investigators. multidisciplinary collaboration is encouraged.

examples of projects that may be appropriate for this grant program include, but are not limited to:

• qualitative or quantitative studies
• case control or cohort studies
• clinical studies
• health systems, health economics and health services research
• methodology development
• measurement tools development
• efficacy or effectiveness studies of novel interventions

in 2016-17 the nshrf will be hosting the ams project grant and post-doctoral fellowship program on behalf of ams. the purpose of this program is to promote scholarship, teaching and public interest in history of health care, disease and medicine. ams broadly defines medicine and this program is not necessarily limited to canadian history in these areas.

ams has two goals for this program

• to identify and promote activities designed to broaden the scope of research, teaching and public interest in the history of health care, disease and or medicine.
• to stimulate new research initiatives, interest and appreciation of the history of health care/medicine/disease, among the research community, health care professionals and 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 .

age-well invites researchers and their teams to participate in its inaugural collaborative impact program competition.

age-well’s collaborative impact program is a matched funding program that is designed to leverage partnerships between academic researchers and industry, government (provincial) and community organizations in order to accelerate canadian innovation and economic competitiveness, and improve the quality of life for older adults and/or caregivers.

cip funds will support post-discovery commercialization or knowledge mobilization activities that align with the vision and mission of age-well. age-well will consider proposals for commercialization and/or knowledge mobilization, including:

• commercialization of technologies, products, and/or services, including but not limited to, business development, prototype development, market readiness and start-up activities
• knowledge mobilization (km), translation (kt) or exchange activities, including but not limited to, the implementation of km/kt products or the introduction of new products/services into practice or policy settings

award value

up to $75,000 investment from age-well with additional matched funds from partnering organizations. the overall project budget must include 25% cash contribution and 25% in-kind contribution from partners. 12 month, non-renewable awards.
