the purpose of this program is to fund research into the behavioural and social aspects of road user safety in order to identify the factors involved in motor vehicle collisions, suggest ways to reduce its impacts on individuals and society, and monitor the effectiveness of road safety initiatives. research funded through the rsrpp will support ontario’s efforts to improve road safety and keep the province among the safest jurisdictions in the world.

please refer to the attached guidelines, while keeping in the mind the following:

·         ontario hospitals, colleges, universities, and other public institutions are eligible for funding by the rsrpp. the principal investigator(s) must be a full- or part-time member of the faculty or an employee of the sponsoring institution.

·         eligible topics are in the behavioural and social sciences and relate to risk factors, preventive factors, and/or risk groups that are of road safety relevance in ontario. research proposals will only be considered if the proposed project could otherwise not be completed in-house (e.g., with a driving simulator, using human subjects, requiring primary data collection, requiring field work).

·         the total value of the research funding will be $150,000. in cases where more than one project is selected to be funded, the total available funds of $150,000 will be split between projects in a manner decided by mto.

·         the deadline for expressions of interest is march 30, 2018.

 please direct applications and inquiries for further information concerning the rsrpp and the application process to roadsafetyresearch.partnershipprogram@ontario.ca.. 

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.

the narsad young investigator grant provides support for the most promising young scientists conducting neurobiological research. two-year awards up to $70,000, or $35,000 per year are provided to enable promising investigators to either extend research fellowship training or begin careers as independent research faculty. basic and/or clinical investigators are supported, but research must be relevant to serious brain and behavior disorders such as schizophrenia, mood disorders, anxiety disorders or child and adolescent mental illnesses.

connection grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the connection program. they 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 listed in sshrc's funding search tool.

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 with researchers, 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and non-academic partners from other countries.

the goal of this new funding opportunity is to support top canadian phd 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 to travel to and work in world-renowned labs for up to 12 months during their phd, and to further their translational research on neurodegenerative diseases of aging.

funding available: $60,000 per year, prorated at $5,000 per month to fit shorter travel and specific project needs.

eligibility: eligible applicants must be current phd 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 at canadian universities who are canadian citizens or permanent residents. applicants must be willing to travel to and conduct translational research on neurodegenerative disease(s) of aging while studying abroad in a world class laboratory.

deadline for submitting a proposal for this call: march 29th, 2018 12 p.m. (noon) eastern standard time.

age-well is excited to launch its 3rd catalyst funding program to support innovative research projects aimed at generating, promoting or accelerating economic and social benefit in the field of technology and aging.

the catalyst funding program represents the first-stage in age-well’s innovation funding stream. catalyst grants will support early-stage, scalable research projects including pilot studies, feasibility studies and novel approaches that are aligned with age-well’s mission and vision. projects must demonstrate strong potential for real-world impact.

it is expected that catalyst projects will lead to new funded research initiatives, either as part of age-well or through other granting agencies.  projects funded by catalyst grants may be suitable for future age-well investment as they progress along the innovation pipeline. to be eligible for continued funding through age-well, end-of-term deliverables must provide justification for continued funding either through a renewal of catalyst funding or transfer to another age-well funding program (e.g. core research program, strategic investment  program). see project deliverables and potential for continued funding section below.

award value and term
up to $50,000 over 12 months. can be renewed for one year, pending end-of-term review.

application deadline:  march 23rd, 2018, 5:00 pm est.
