5g and iot infrastructure and new applications are expected to generate massive amounts of data, thereby driving changes to network architecture. data processing and content distribution will be forced closer to the network edge, driving the need for much more efficient and programmable edge compute infrastructure. traditionally, such edge compute infrastructure needs have been met with field programmable gate arrays (fpgas) providing a reprogrammable protocol handling layer (at phys or nics), and generic cpus (possibly augmented with gpus) interconnected through a largely static network switching fabric. the objective of this project is to investigate approaches and develop a software tool kit for managing and programming a fabric of interconnected fpgas. the fpga fabric (i.e. multiple fpgas interconnected to appear as a single large virtual fpga) is intended to absorb functions that are currently spread across multiple elements: protocol adapters, switching asics, networking functions, data processing cpu/gpu functions, etc. the project is expected todeliver a set of algorithms, techniques and tools for adaptive and optimized sizing, placement and chaining of required functions inside the fpga fabric.
the objective of this research challenge is to develop and verify artificial intelligence/machine learning (ai/ml) driven approaches for automated design, planning and operations of ‘full stack’ 5g era systems employing the principles of self-organization and self-optimization.
the fy19 defense appropriation provides $125 million (m) to the department of defense psychological health and traumatic brain injury research program (phtbirp) to support specific defense health agency (dha) j9 research and development directorate program areas, including joint program committee-5/military operational medicine research program (jpc-5/momrp). as directed by the office of the assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, the dha j9 research and development directorate manages the defense health program (dhp) research, development, test, and evaluation (rdt&e) appropriation. the managing agent for the anticipated program announcement/funding opportunity is the congressionally directed medical research programs (cdmrp) at the u.s. army medical research and materiel command (usamrmc).
the fy19 phtbirp program announcement and general application instructions for the following award mechanism are posted on the grants.gov website.

the genomic applications partnership program (gapp) funds downstream research and development (r&d) projects that address real world opportunities and challenges defined by “receptor” organizations such as industry, government, or not-for-profit entities. these organizations should be committed to commercializing or implementing the outcomes of the project. projects are led by the receptor organization (canadian or international) but are active collaborations with a canadian academic researcher. these projects are co-funded by receptors and other stakeholders and must have the potential to generate significant social and/or economic benefits for canada. the gapp aims to:
bwf's career awards at the scientific interface (casi) provide $500,000 over five years to bridge advanced postdoctoral training and the first three years of faculty service. these awards are open to u.s. and canadian citizens, permanent residents, and temporary residents.
these grants are intended to foster the early career development of researchers who have transitioned or are transitioning from undergraduate and/or graduate work in the physical/mathematical/computational sciences or engineering into postdoctoral work in the biological sciences, and who are dedicated to pursuing a career in academic research.
scientific advances such as genomics, quantitative structural biology, imaging techniques, and modeling of complex systems have created opportunities for exciting research careers at the interface between the physical/computational sciences and the biological sciences. tackling key problems in biology will require scientists trained in areas such as chemistry, physics, applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering.
you can apply for up to $300,000 in contribution funding per year, for projects up to 36 months in duration. these projects have to focus on fostering partnerships, innovation and addressing data/research gaps in canada.
eligible organizations may submit only one application for funding in this process.
the sustainable development goals (sdg) funding program supports projects that aim to:
you may also apply for a grant project that focusses on engaging and raising awareness of the sustainable development goals (sdgs) as part of our ongoing call for proposals launched in may 2019.
we are funding projects that will identify and implement new and innovative approaches or increase impact of existing activities in order to work towards achieving 1 or more of the following objectives:
both webinars will be viewed in fb 2005 (cases building).
if you are interested in attending the webinar on one the two dates above, please send an e-mail to ahacquo1@lakeheadu.ca by july 5 for the july 9 webinar and july 12 for the july 17 webinar.
the youth employment and skills strategy (yess) is a new, integrated strategy, which aims to provide flexible and holistic services to support all young canadians develop the skills and gain paid work experience to successfully transition in the labour market. the yess has been redesigned to respond to a range of labour market challenges faced by youth, particularly for those facing barriers to employment. the skills link, career focus, and summer work experience (excluding canada summer jobs) programs that were previously under the youth employment strategy umbrella have been merged into one integrated strategy.
the youth employment and skills strategy (yess) program will provide up to $600m in funding to organizations to deliver a range of activities that help youth overcome barriers to employment and develop a broad range of skills and knowledge in order to participate in the current and future labour market. support will be tailored to the needs of youth that are facing barriers to employments. youth who face barriers often include youth who are early leavers from high school, recent immigrant youth, youth from visible minority groups, youth living with disabilities, single parent youth, youth living in low-income households, youth experiencing homelessness or precarious housing, and youth living in rural or remote areas. for these youth, barriers often intersect and they are more likely to be among the youth population who are involuntarily not in employment, education or training (neet). acknowledging that some indigenous youth face unique circumstances, the yess is designed to maximize opportunities for them, including more culturally-specific supports and services.
