about the research fund

1. the cauce research fund is designed to support projects where the outcomes are likely to have direct relevance to and wide applicability within the practice of university continuing education in canada.

2. the fund is aimed primarily at assisting projects for which other sources of external funding are unavailable, though, in the case of larger projects, it may be used to supplement other sources of funding. the fund may be used to jointly sponsor research with regionally-focused continuing education organizations (such as ocull or apacue).
 
3. because of the limited resources available, grants will normally not exceed $3500, will be confined to applicants from member institutions, and will not be awarded to any applicant who has received a grant from the fund during the past three years. regarding budgets, up to $700 can be allotted for travel based on an overall request of $3500. this sum should be used for travel in relation to data collection and/or attend the cauce conference for the purpose of presenting the project. preference will be given to requests to attend the cauce conference for the purpose of presenting the project. smaller budgets should reduce the sum asked for travel accordingly.

a maximum annual award allocation will be budgeted by the secretary-treasurer and approved by the executive each year.

4. a grant will not ordinarily be made in support of a project for which the work is also part of the pursuit of an advanced degree with financial sponsorship (scholarships, bursaries). exceptions may be made for a project that is part of an advanced degree if the study is of particular significance to university-level continuing education and meets all other criteria.

5. once the successful applicant has been notified, projects must be completed within eighteen months. research grants will not be made to projects already underway.

the mitacs-jsps summer program, offered in partnership with the japan society for the promotion of science (jsps) provides opportunities for graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and postdoctoral fellows in canada to pursue collaborative research in japan, allowing them to advance their own research while promoting scientific progress in both japan and canada.

the call for applications will close on december 5, 2018, at 5 p.m. pt. results will be communicated in may 2019. successful applicants will travel to japan for a period of 10 weeks in summer 2019. applications are awarded competitively and subject to available funding.

the purpose of the focused investment program (fip) – social sciences is to provide funding to support the examination of new approaches to research critical to the transformation of arrhythmia care practices in canada. the objectives of the fip – social sciences are to:

• build knowledge, understanding and capacity within interdisciplinary and/or cross sector research teams.
• mobilize research knowledge around critical social, cultural and technological issues related to the promotion of an accessible and sustainable health care system for arrhythmia health.
• deepen understandings that inform solutions employed in the transformation of arrhythmia care practices in canada.

fip – social sciences projects must be focused on research that is aligned with canet’s strategic plan and have the potential to integrate into larger canet programs/projects (see https://canet-nce.ca/2016-2019-strategic-plan). up to $150,000 can be requested (over a maximum of 2 years) is available for projects in areas aligned with canet’s strategic priorities. matching funds are not required but recommended. a maximum of one fip-social sciences program can be held at any one time by a network investigator. senior investigators (>10 years) are strongly encouraged to include and mentor a junior co-pi on the project.

the funding for this round is contingent on the successful renewal of canet by the networks of centres of excellence (nce). successful proposals will become key outlined projects as part of the canet renewal application to the nce. if canet is successful at renewal, funds will flow to successful proposals on april 1, 2020. please plan your budgets accordingly.

proposals are not eligible for a fip – social sciences grant if they:
• focus only on collecting data without interpreting underlying mechanisms;
• seek to certify, endorse, validate or performance test an existing product, process or material (unless accompanied by significant efforts to improve or better understand the product, process or material);
• relate to the set-up and operational management of an institute or a formal or informal group of researchers.

the seed grant provides funding for pilot studies in arrhythmia research to gain preliminary results which can strengthen applications for canet’s larger grants such as the strategic research grant (srg).

seed grants must be focused on research that has potential to grow into larger canet programs. up to $25,000 is available (max. 1 year duration) for projects in areas aligned with canet’s strategic priorities. matching funds are not required but recommended. a maximum of one seed grants can be held at any one time by a network investigator. senior investigators (>10 years) are strongly encouraged to include and mentor a junior co-pi on the project. network investigators will be encouraged to apply for a canet strategic research grant (srg) after the completion of the seed grant, if applicable.
