Engaging the World

This is a special opportunity for people studying the state of natural sciences and engineering research in Canada. While this is an NSERC grant, it may be of more interest to social science/science policy researchers than it is to traditional NSERC researchers.

CIHR, NSERC and 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.

The objective of the Transformation stream is to support large-scale, Canadian-led interdisciplinary research projects that address a major challenge with the potential to realize real and lasting change. The challenge may be fundamental, leading to a scientific breakthrough, or applied, with a social, economic, environmental or health impact. Projects are expected to be world-leading, drawing on global research expertise, when relevant.

Any British Columbian (or former long-term resident) who has demonstrated outstanding achievement, excellence or distinction in any field. Community leadership, business, labour, industry, volunteer service, research, culture, the arts, sports… the possibilities are nearly endless.

A new initiative for launching big, audacious ideas.

The ONR seeks a broad range of applications for augmenting existing or developing innovative solutions that directly maintain, or cultivate a diverse, world-class STEM workforce in order to maintain the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps’ technological superiority.

Recognizes and encourages world-class research and artistic creation, prizing contributions of lasting impact for their originality, theoretical significance and ability to push back the frontiers of the known world.

Provides funding to the very best postdoctoral applicants, both nationally and internationally, who will positively contribute to the country's economic, social and research-based growth.

SAP-RTI grants are awards that assist buying or developing research equipment that costs more than $7,000.

This call aims to support innovative and cutting-edge interdisciplinary artificial intelligence (AI) research that encourages the exploration of new interdisciplinary research methodologies, approaches and tools in social sciences and humanities, health and biomedical sciences, and natural sciences and engineering.

Focuses on people and groups who are inspirational in the way they promote science to the general public. The individual recipient will receive an award of $10,000. The winning group will be awarded $25,000 to further science promotion activities. Funds paid to winners of this prize are subject to the PromoScience Grants Guide.

VPR Major Research Project Application Preparation grants assist SFU faculty members who are applying for major external research grants (e.g., CFI, NCE or SSHRC MCRI or INE). Assistance may take the form of support salaries for personnel needed to prepare application materials, costs of travel required to meet with research collaborators, long-distance telephone/fax charges, etc. These grants do not fund research per se.

Alliance grants encourage university researchers to collaborate with partner organizations, which can be from the private, public or not-for-profit sectors.
