please note: this season we are offering support for virtual workshops (maximum award of $5,000) and virtual conferences (maximum award of $20,000).  "in-person" workshops and conferences have a maximum award of $20,000.

given the continuing uncertainty with pandemic conditions around the world, applicants should build flexibility into their plans with regard to in-person meetings.

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.

conferences are defined as public events that are comprised primarily of oral and poster presentations to a larger audience of anthropologists. priority is given to major conferences sponsored by large international anthropological organizations (e.g., the european association of social anthropologists, european anthropological association, pan african anthropological association, and latin american anthropological association) that serve as their annual or periodic meetings. the majority of the funds granted to such conferences is expected to be used towards expenses for international scholars who are making presentations at the conference and would not otherwise be able to attend.

workshops are defined as working meetings that focus on developing and debating topical issues in theoretical anthropology. workshops involve a small group of scholars who meet for a sufficient period of time to deal intensively with the topic. priority is given to those workshops that devote the majority of time to discussion and debate rather than to the presentation of papers. it is expected that workshops will result in a publication.

application deadlines for conference and workshop grants are june 1 and december 1. the june 1 deadline is for conferences and workshops to be held no earlier than january of the following year. the december 1 deadline is for conferences and workshops to be held no earlier than july of the following year.decisions will be announced within 4-6 months of the deadline.

canadian blood services is pleased to announce its 2021 graduate fellowship program competition. through this exciting program, canadian blood services offers stipend support for young investigators who want to initiate or continue training in the field of transfusion science. graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 undertaking full-time research training in a canadian institution are invited to apply.

as part of its commitment to support the development of the next generation of space professionals in canada and to foster future international collaboration between canada and other countries, the csa joined the nasa international internship (nasa i²) project.

nasa i² is a nasa initiative that seeks to better prepare 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 (u.s. and international) for future missions that require innovative thinking and cooperation with international collaborators. it is an intensive experience with an emphasis on learning, teamwork, research, and creativity. the program balances science and technology exploration with intercultural experiences. interns take part in seminars on a wide variety of topics from both internal and external experts, informal discussions, supervised research, group projects, cultural lunches/ dinners, poster presentations, tours of nasa facilities, and other self-organized social events in the area. interns make connections with peers and professionals in their fields and form relationships that serve them throughout their careers.

internships are offered by nasa in three sessions during the calendar year: spring (16 weeks), summer (10 weeks) and fall (16 weeks). current nasa participating research centres are the ames research center and the goddard space flight center. the internships are not remunerated.

as a nasa i² project participant, the csa may nominate highly qualified university 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 who may subsequently be selected by nasa to participate in internship projects along with u.s. 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 from abroad.

as the only official agency in canada allowed to submit candidates to nasa for the nasa i² project, the csa will manage, through this ao, the preselection of canadian graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 that have a demonstrated expertise and background in scientific and technical areas of interest to nasa and the csa. interested applicants should refer to the nasa i² project list (pdf, 540 kb) and submit their application for one internship project. applicants may select up to two (2) alternate internship projects in case their first choice is not available. in that case, nasa could consider the alternate choices. however, applications will be assessed by the csa on their first choice only. applicants should verify specific project information to know the exact location of each internship.

the csa and two funding organizations, mitacs and fulbright canada, intend to award grants to the 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 that are selected by nasa to support them with their associated expenses such as travel, lodging, meals and visa processing costs if applicable. the total grant amounts that could be awarded to each grantee are the following:

• up to $8,000 for a 10-week internship (summer);
• up to $11,000 for a 16-week internship (fall and spring).

the csa's share of these amounts is $2,000 for a 10-week internship and $3,000 for a 16-week internship.

the csa will preselect canadian applicants that comply with the ao eligibility criteria and who successfully pass the evaluation process. as funding organizations, mitacs and fulbright canada will also be part of the preselection process. the files of the applicants that will have successfully passed all the stages of the preselection process, as described in section 5, will be submitted to nasa for its final selection. the csa, mitacs and fulbright canada will support a maximum of six (6) applicants per fiscal year.

the specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:

• leverage canadian-based research data sources and infrastructures to foster research concerning the health effects of cannabis use, including the effectiveness of medical cannabis in treating different conditions, and the harms and risks associated with non-medical use;
• generate and share new knowledge concerning prevalence, patterns, and contributing factors of cannabis use to answer cannabis-related health research questions specific to one of the research areas stated above; and
• develop a broader understanding concerning cannabis use, which may ultimately lead to guidance for therapeutic and recreational use, as well as for cannabis use disorder.

to be eligible to the competition, applications must address all three (3) objectives and respond to at least one (1) research area; and to at least one (1) of its sub-research areas;

1. understand the extent and impact of the indirect and wider health consequences of covid-19 and the resilience of people of canada; and
2. identify effective interventions (policy, practice and/or models of care) to ameliorate the wider impacts of covid-19 and improve preparedness for future health emergencies and pandemics; and
3. generate evidence related to one or more marginalized population(s), including for instance: communities marginalized by race; first nations, inuit, métis and urban indigenous peoples; communities historically excluded from research; those experiencing health inequity; persons with disabilities and individuals across diverse health status (e.g. high risk populations, individuals with comorbid conditions); those experiencing gendered impacts of the pandemic;  and those in life stages that have been underrepresented in research (e.g. pregnant people, children, older adults). across all populations, researchers are encouraged to consider a lifecycle approach (from preconception to older adulthood).
