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.

the gairdner foundation invites ontario universities and research institutes to submit proposals to host a partnered international symposium at the frontiers of biomedicine to be held in 2017.
with support from the government of ontario, the gairdner foundation partners with universities and institutes to hold an annual one-day symposium each calendar year. drawing on the canada gairdner awards’ history of recognizing the best in biomedical science, these symposia bring experts from across the world, along with leading canadian researchers, to present on the state of their field to an audience of 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , faculty, and health and science professionals. inclusion of outreach activities such as public lectures is encouraged.

the foundation is open to proposals from all fields of health research with particular emphasis on recent advancements and breakthrough research.

as partner, the gairdner foundation provides funding of up to $25,000, communications support to the host university/institute, and is involved in the planning of the final program.

for more information:  call document.

universities and institutes are welcome to submit multiple proposals, however only one submission can be accepted per proposal leader.

the canadian forces health services group is seeking to identify and review of currently available practices and technologies to improve the prescription accuracy of psychotropic medications for military personnel diagnosed with neuropsychiatric disorders and related conditions. the objective of this contract is to determine whether psychiatric eeg evaluation registry provides an objective adjunctive tool that is more effective in guiding treatment than the current standard of practice in the treatment of military personnel suffering from non-psychotic mental illness.

the canadian institute for military and veteran health research (cimvhr) has entered into partnership with the government of canada to procure r & d services related to the mental, social and physical wellbeing of active military members, veterans and their families. cimvhr is seeking notices of interest from qualified researchers to enter into a contract with cimvhr to produce this work.

fellowships provide support for highly qualified applicants in all areas of health research at the post-phd degree or post-health professional degree stages to add to their experience by engaging in health research either in canada or abroad.

the objective of the ontario centre for workforce innovation (ocwi) research and innovation fund is to support research, evaluation and innovation projects to improve opportunities for people to obtain, retain, or advance in terms of employment, become more productive participants in the labour force and improve well-being.

the ocwi will fund research, evaluation and innovation projects that align with these priorities and that will produce or improve knowledge, practice, and impact in the training and employment sector.

this is the first in a series of call for proposals to be issued by the ocwi over the next year. this particular phase focuses on research on a particular issue or evaluation of a program/service delivery approach in ontario which has the potential for impact. in accordance with ocwi criteria and guidelines, research may include synthesis projects, inquiry projects, evaluation and impact projects.

the expectation is that research projects funded under this call will be granted up to $25,000, however, under special circumstances the ocwi may consider an award of funding up to $50,000.

each applicant needs to identify estimated costs to assist evaluators in awarding appropriate funds. the estimated costs will be used to determine the level of funding. the proposal should identify the costs eligible for funding (salaries for researchers, travel, direct expenses and overhead/indirect costs).

if a project is approved, payment is provided to a recipient’s organization on their behalf. organizations are required to complete a financial statement outlining how project funds were spent at the end of the project to verify that funding was solely applied to costs directly related to the activities as outlined in the budget.

proposals must provide details for all budget costs and align with budget guidelines.

objectives

the research synergy collaboration grant is intended to facilitate and enhance collaboration across ic-impacts research network resulting in the stimulation of novel partnerships, exciting and unexpected innovations, and extending the impacts of research projects previously funded through the ic-impacts network.

the research synergy collaboration grant will provide funding to up to three (3) new projects that bring together the respective technologies or approaches of at least two previously funded research teams or which apply elements of the teams’ combined advancements to a new application area in a different thematic area.  each project can receive up to $100,000 in funding.

the outcome of the collaboration is expected to lead to a technology or research outcome that is distinctively novel and which would not have been possible to achieve without cross-project fertilization.
