Announcements

1) The Banting Post Doctoral Fellowship 2019 Pre-call

CORIS is excited to announce a pre-call notice for the Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships in anticipation of the Agency’s official call due at the end of this month. More information can be found here.

2) The 2019 CU Development Grants Program has launched! – (Deadline April 22, 2019)

These one-year, internal grants have a value of up to $10,000 and their purpose is to help initiate, bridge, complete or reorient a faculty’s research program through support of a single defined project when other funding sources are not available.  All full-time tenured or tenure-track faculty members (Assistant, Associate, Full) are eligible to apply.   Funding is awarded through three separate competitions:

  • CU – SSHRC Explore Development Grant
  • CU – NSE Research Development Grant
  • CU – Health Research Development Grant

Please see the CORIS web site for full details.

3) Open Research Area (ORA): A new call in 2019 – Pre-call announcement

SSHRC is excited to announce its collaboration in the 6th Open Research Area (ORA) call alongside three European funding organizations: Agence nationale de la recherche in France; Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft in Germany; and the Economic and Social Research Council in the United Kingdom. The Japan Society for the Promotion of Science is an associate partner.

ORA was created to strengthen international co-operation by funding high quality scientific research projects. The program started as an agreement between research funding agencies in France, Germany, the UK and The Netherlands in 2010.

This pre-call announcement is being issued to allow interested researchers to begin discussions with potential research partners ahead of the formal call for proposals. ORA is due to open in April 2019. The application window for proposals is set to last about three months, with a closing date expected in July 2019.

In this round, proposals need to involve researchers from any three or more participating countries and be integrated across the participating countries. The research should make an original and significant contribution to current scientific knowledge in areas supported by SSHRC.

Stay tuned for the formal call for proposals to be launched on the websites of the participating funding organizations. Details on the previous round can be found online.
