objective of this program

sdpp-d supports projects intended to improve the participation and integration of people with disabilities in all aspects of canadian society. more specifically, the program supports not-for-profit organizations across canada in tackling barriers faced by people with disabilities with respect to social inclusion.

objective of this cfp

the objective of this cfp is to invite eligible organizations with a disability-focused mandate, who are also pursuing activities in line with relevant sdpp-d objectives, to submit proposals on innovative projects that will explore new ways of reducing barriers for people with disabilities, or those which build on existing programs and services.

relevant sdpp objectives are:

• support the development and utilization of effective approaches to address social issues and challenges
• develop, exchange and apply knowledge, tools and resources that address social needs of individuals, families and communities
• foster partnerships and networks to address existing and emerging social issues

the community development and homelessness partnerships directorate (cdhpd) at the department of employment and social development canada (esdc) invites applicants to submit proposals for small scale projects or prototypes that develop effective and innovative practices, tools, or initiatives that prevent or reduce homelessness in canada. 

successful applicants will receive funding to create and/or evaluate concrete and potentially groundbreaking practices, tools, or initiatives that individuals, organizations, or communities can use to improve client outcomes.

background

the aim of these innovative small scale experimental projects or prototypes that may be of short duration will be to test or develop practices, tools, or initiatives that support one of the four priority areas mentioned below. some successful applicants may have an opportunity to scale their proposal. 

of specific interest are the following priority areas: interventions for indigenous peoples, youth, veterans, and women fleeing violence; the establishment of partnerships with funders, service providers and the private sector to provide coordinated services that yield demonstrably positive results for homeless clients; and, data collection.

the community development and homelessness partnerships directorate (cdhpd) at the department of employment and social development canada (esdc) invites applicants to submit proposals for projects that develop innovative and effective best practices or innovatively build capacity to prevent or reduce homelessness in canada.

successful applicants will receive funding to create and/or evaluate concrete and potentially groundbreaking best practices that can be used to improve client outcomes.

background 

the aim of these projects will be to demonstrate the effectiveness of current practices; or to develop, test and evaluate a new practice. emphasis will be placed on projects that are innovative and potentially groundbreaking, and that demonstrably help to prevent or reduce homelessness for the client population.

of specific interest are the following priority areas: interventions for indigenous peoples, youth, veterans, and women fleeing violence; the establishment of partnerships between funders, service providers and the private sector to provide coordinated services that yield demonstrably positive results for homeless clients; and, data collection.

the advancingeducation program helps connect ontario’s public education system with companies to test early-market interest and demonstrate innovative products and technologies in an education setting. this includes english and french k-12 schools as well as post-secondary institutions.

designed to bolster innovation in ontario’s public education system through partnerships between schools and companies, the program invests in collaborative innovation procurement projects to demonstrate new technologies in a public sector setting as a means of building a strong case for adoption and system-wide scaling. 

oce is accepting applications for round 2 from september 28, 2016 to january 23, 2017. the theme for round 2 is:

future-proof learning – seeking demonstration of innovative technologies that engage all 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 in the development of global competencies, including:

• steam- and ice-related skills
• critical thinking and problem solving
• collaboration and communication
• self-direction and well-being

technologies may target one or more of the following users: 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , teachers, administrators, and parents/caregivers.

the overall objectives of the advancingeducation program are to:

• improve student learning and wellness outcomes, introduce innovative teaching methods, increase student engagement, enhance educator and administrator experience, and provide experiential learning opportunities for 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 interested in innovation and entrepreneurship
• build capacity for early-market engagement in the procurement process by providing a platform for the public education sector to share their “problem statements” directly with the ontario innovation community, so that new solutions may be identified, implemented and demonstrated in a collaborative way
• enable the public education sector to identify and bridge barriers to realize sustainable and long-term adoption and procurement of innovation
• further establish ontario as a model for innovative public education and a global leader in edtech.

partnership grants provide support for new and existing formal partnerships over four to seven years to advance research, research training and/or knowledge mobilization in the social sciences and humanities through mutual co-operation and sharing of intellectual leadership, as well as through resources as evidenced by cash and/or in-kind contributions.

partnership grants are intended for large teams working in formal collaboration between postsecondary institutions and/or organizations of various types.

the objective of this funding opportunity is to catalyze research that aligns with the spor capacity development framework and the spor patient engagement framework by:

• building capacity in canada’s health system for patient-oriented research through projects conducted by integrated teams; and,
• increasing the number of clinician scientists meaningfully involved in patient-oriented research by integrating them in patient-oriented research teams.

the objective of this funding opportunity is to provide enhanced opportunities for expert analysis of the 2015 canadian community health survey nutrition data to create new knowledge to:

1. support the development of nutrition and health policies and programs;
2. explore the relationship of nutrition and food insecurity with health and disease; and
3. inform data collection tools and methods to address gaps in surveillance.  

the purpose of this funding opportunity is to support teams of researchers and decision makers interested in conducting applied health services and policy research that will be useful to health system managers and/or decision makers in cancer control.

the focus must be on interventional studies with control groups that partner with a decision maker organization.

the specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• develop and test optimal models to improve cancer care at the population level across the cancer control continuum, from prevention to survivorship and end-of-life care.
• determine public and patient preferences and perceptions of value to inform policy decision making about cancer care services. 
• develop methods to measure quality of care at the population level including comparisons to stratified populations (i.e. vulnerable, high-risk populations).

it is important that a rubric of sustainability overlie the projects, and that post study continuation for successful interventions is addressed.

relevant research areas

the cihr institute of cancer will provide funding for applications that are determined to be relevant to the following research areas:

• disease management across the cancer control continuum (from prevention to palliation)
• development of mechanisms for timely adoption and implementation of research findings.
• investigation and development of solutions to overcome barriers to data access to integrate cancer health services delivery
• system sustainability through divestment  (i.e. choosing wisely) and its promotion

the operating grants competition is the principal means by which the cancer research society fulfills its mission to support fundamental, early translational and environment-cancer research on all types of cancer in order to contribute to the advancement of science aimed at preventing, detecting and treating this disease.

our operating grants competition takes place every year and is open to researchers across canada.
