Grants and Contributions

The objectives of the Team Grants in Diabetes Mechanisms and Translational Solutions are:

1. To elucidate previously undefined mechanisms that control the onset and progression of all types of diabetes mellitus and related complications and co-morbidities, with appropriate consideration of sex as a biological variable and gender as a social determinant of health.
2. To develop new translational solutions aimed at prevention, treatment, and delivery of care for people living with diabetes.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:
• To provide recognition and funding to academic researchers;
• To provide a reliable supply of highly skilled and qualified researchers.

The Canada Graduate Scholarships-Master’s (CGS M) Program helps develop research skills and assist in the training of highly qualified personnel by supporting students who demonstrate a high standard of achievement in undergraduate and early graduate studies.

.
• To support an outstanding research program that will enhance women's brain health through the study of cognitive aging and associated disorders.
• To build capacity for research on brain health and aging that accounts for sex and gender.
• To foster the mobilization of that research into gender- and sex-responsive policies and interventions that improve brain health and promote wellness in aging.

The specific objective(s) of this funding opportunity are to:
• Support the development of structured, openly accessible and sustainable training and mentoring platforms that build capacity in areas of major health issues, scientific opportunities and critical gaps by:
o Supporting the engagement of trainees and ECRs in collaborative research across institutions, disciplines, jurisdictions and sectors;
o Incorporating diverse training approaches, including experiential training opportunities;
o Including diverse and inclusive paradigms of research training and mentoring (e.g. Indigenous Ways of Knowing) in a meaningful and culturally-safe manner; and
o Implementing recruitment, training, and mentoring strategies to attract high-caliber trainees and ECRs, including embedding and applying Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) best practices.
• Support the development of skills that increase the likelihood of employability and career prospects of trainees and ECRs across sectors, by integrating training on:
o Approaches to advance rigorous and responsible research (e.g., sex- and gender-based analysis (SGBA), research data management, research involving Indigenous Peoples, ethics, unconscious bias);
o Grant/proposal writing, budgeting, and peer review;
o Professional development skills (including transferrable skills, such as communication, analytical thinking, problem solving, project management, leadership, etc.);
o Best practices in knowledge translation and implementation science; and
o Diverse career options and opportunities available across the different sectors (private/for profit, public and not-for-profit).

Canada’s annual assessed contribution to the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Basic Activities for the calendar year 2022.

The project will see the creation of a secretariat, that will provide support to DDC's Implementation Coordinator, Investor Committee and the NWT Indigenous Leadership Coalition. Additionally, a gap-analysis will be undertaked to identify current and future investment opportunities, and inform the framework for the next Indigenous Economic Forum. The proponent will organize and host the forum, which will focus on the creation of an Economic Development Roadmap.
