in its first five years, biofuelnet canada (bfn) has mobilized 230 researchers and 127 industry partners to advance the technologies required to sustainably increase canada’s production of advanced biofuels and associated bioproducts, including the production, logistics and quality of agricultural residues and purpose-grown biomass crops on marginal lands across canada.
bfn is now creating an industry-led, agricultural producer-centric, research and innovation cluster. the purpose of this new cluster is to engage canada’s agricultural producers, industry, universities, government and other r&d organizations to sustainably increase food and biomass production, in the context of a changing climate.
the united nations food and agriculture organization (fao) estimates that food production will have to increase by about 70% by 2050 to accommodate the world’s growing population and changing diets1. this means that over the next 32 years or production periods, the agricultural sector is faced with the dual but related challenges of nearly doubling production to feed canada’s and the world’s growing population, and adapting to and helping to stabilize climate change.
this call for expressions of interest (eoi) is focussed on advancing the emerging technologies that will help agricultural producers across canada sustainably meet the needs of canada’s and the world’s growing population, and provide the biomass (crop residues, purpose-grown on marginal lands, animal residues) needed by the bioenergy and bioproducts industries.
the purpose of the eoi is to mobilize the sector to propose a new cluster to the agri-science cluster program in fall 2017. this cluster will work to catalyze the next green revolution in agriculture and change the paradigm from “food versus fuel” to “food and fuel”.
eligible applicants for activities:
this call is open to companies incorporated in canada at the federal or provincial level, r&d organizations, universities, not-for-profit organizations, and individuals.
this call is focused on advancing technology solutions. as such, involvement from agricultural operators and technology providers/developers is critical at all stages, including the collection of in-situ data. collaboration between multiple innovation partners is strongly encouraged. collaboration between partners must be led by
industry and offer a strong value proposition by demonstrating opportunities for technology validation, commercialization, and sharing of results.
applicants are also encouraged to include self-funded participants such as municipalities, government research labs and international partners.
eligible activities:
• targeted applied science research and/or development activities that address sector priorities, increase market opportunities and foster innovation
• research relating to product, practice, process and/or technology development
• projects that pilot/test solutions and/or explore/adapt technologies
• knowledge transfer and the development of tailored approaches to bring science and technology from the bench to the field
the low carbon innovation fund is a fund to help researchers, entrepreneurs and companies create and commercialize new, globally competitive, low-carbon technologies that will help ontario meet its ghg emissions reductions targets. the low carbon innovation fund is part of ontario's climate change action plan and is funded by proceeds from the province's carbon market.
the types of projects we will consider include:
conference and workshop grants are for amounts up to $20,000. in accordance with the mission of the foundation, priority is given to events that foster the creation of an international community of research scholars in anthropology and advance significant and innovative anthropological research.

Ø dream of a cure 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 hipsin inherited bleeding disorders research: similarly to our basic scientific research program, the 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 hips are no longer limited to hemophilia-related projects but include all inherited bleeding disorders. furthermore, science 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 in any year of an undergraduate program can apply in addition to medical 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 in any year of training;
Ø chs/pfizer care until cure research program: the areas of interest to which investigators are encouraged to submit proposals has been expanded to include mild hemophilia b and factor utilization & cost-effectiveness; all projects included but not limited to the list will be considered.
Ø chs/novo nordisk psychosocial research programme: applications from social workers, nurses, or physiotherapists with professional experience in a hemophilia treatment centre (or other comparable settings in which care has been provided to people with hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders) or persons interested in the field of inherited bleeding disorders will be considered. 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 in a phd program in one of the allied health disciplines may also apply. professionals who have appointments in universities and who can dedicate time to research are encouraged to apply. professional experience in a hemophilia treatment centre is desirable but not required.
dream of a cure
through funds provided by the hemophilia research million dollar club and the chs, the chs provides basic scientific research grants and 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 hips aimed at developing treatments for hemophilia a and b, von willebrand disease, rare factor deficiencies, platelet function disorders and ultimately, finding a cure.
dream of a cure, the chs research program and the 2018 dream of a cure summer 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 hips in inherited bleeding disorders research application forms as well as the general criteria and conditions are available by accessing the chs web site at www.hemophilia.ca/en/research/chs-dream-of-a-cure-research-program. for dream of a cure, individual grants will be awarded to researchers for one to two years for amounts up to $75,000 per year while support will be offered to interested canadian medical or science 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 for up to 4 months for a maximum stipend of $6,000 per student.

chs/novo nordisk canada psychosocial research programme
the chs/novo nordisk canada psychosocial research program was created to engage hemophilia program professionals/graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 from the allied health disciplines (ie. nursing, physiotherapy & social work) in research activities addressed to understanding the psychosocial impact of hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders and to improve the quality of life of persons and families whose lives are affected by these disorders.
the primary intent of this program is to offer one or two $20,000 research grants, to a maximum of $40,000 for one year.
depending upon the number and quality of applications, funding for more than two research grant could be offered within the allotted total budget stated above.
the major portion of each grant would be to cover the research time for the successful candidate(s), including the time for research assistants. a small amount can be devoted to project expenses.
multidisciplinary collaboration:
collaboration with multidisciplinary care providers and/or between two or more hemophilia centres is accepted and encouraged. collaboration efforts may include, for example, social work, physical therapy and genetics. it thus may be possible for a hemophilia centre team to jointly submit a cooperative research project. additionally, inter-regional applications will be considered.
applications and deadline:
a letter of intent should be submitted to the canadian hemophilia society by november 15, 2017. the letter, with a maximum of two pages, should identify the researcher, the organization and include a summary description of the intended area of research.
