the canadian harkness fellowship award enables the best and brightest canadian thinkers and leaders to participate in the harkness fellowships in health care policy and practice, a core program of the commonwealth fund's international program in health policy and innovation.

the commonwealth fund, in collaboration with cfhi, offers a unique opportunity for promising mid-career professionals — academic researchers, government policy-makers, clinical leaders, senior hospital managers and journalists — to spend a year in the united states studying healthcare delivery system reforms and critical issues on the health policy agenda in both the u.s. and canada.

canadian harkness fellows bring these lessons back to canada and continue to work with cfhi (as faculty, speakers, attendees at key thought-leadership events) to inform and develop programming to accelerate health system transformation.

the canadian institutes of health research (cihr), the natural sciences and engineering research council (nserc) and the social sciences and humanities research council (sshrc) are jointly funding a national healthy cities research training platform(hcrtp) to develop an interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral training initiative that will generate cutting-edge knowledge and build capacity for implementation science and solutions-based research.

this funding opportunity will support a team in designing and delivering a national research training initiative focused on how to create, implement, and scale innovative, solution-based interventions in a variety of urban contexts focused on promoting healthy, resilient, sustainable and equitable cities. accomplishing this goal will require experts from diverse disciplines including public health, epidemiology, economics, sociology, law, ethics, engineering, environmental science and urban planning, which is why partnership across the three research funding agencies is essential.

the application process for the hcrtp will consist of a letter of intent (loi) stage, where up to six successful applicants will receive developmental grants, and a full application stage where one application will receive the full grant. the hcrtp is a major component of the cihr healthy cities research initiative (hcri).

the objective of this work is to assess thermal performance of current in-service combat clothing configurations a)-c). 

oce is pleased to let you know that intake is now open for a new encqor 5g academic technology development challenge statement.

the encqor 5g academic technology development program partners researchers at ontario-based post secondary institutions with encqor 5g anchor firms on 5g technology development projects. areas of research interest are defined by challenge statements submitted to oce by the encqor 5g anchor firms and posted to the oce website on a rolling basis.

the new challenge statement is listed in the table below.

the dr. r. k. dewar medical research grant was established in 1987 by ms. helen dewar to honour the life and work of her brother dr. robert kerr dewar. dr. dewar had faith in the future and progress of medical science and had a keen interest in cutting edge research of his day. he was particularly interested in neuro-regeneration and molecular biology.

the thunder bay community foundation looks for the following elements in successful proposals:

• addresses a small research project or marketing for a health care charity
• makes an impact on health care in thunder bay
• seeks to assist in the future progress of medicine.
• are organized and well written.

the postdoctoral fellowships (pdf) program provides support to a core of the most promising researchers at a pivotal time in their careers. the fellowships are also intended to secure a supply of highly qualified canadians with leading-edge scientific and research skills for canadian industry, government and institutions.

solid research is the underlying driving force to crystallize fearless creativity and innovation. while we are committed to run in-house research and engineering, we are also excited to collaborate with academic partners to facilitate exploration of new and promising research. the sony focused research award provides an opportunity for university faculty and sony to conduct this type of collaborative, focused research. the award provides up to $150k in funds, and may be renewed for subsequent year(s).

global research and development at sony enables us to foster innovative ideas, which could ultimately lead to future technology advancements and company growth. in order to speed up and expand the creation of new ideas, we would like to partner with universities. this partnership will help cultivate advanced concepts and fertilize our own research and development. the sony faculty innovation award provides up to $100k in funds to conduct pioneering research in the areas listed below.
