Grants and Contributions

The Project Grant program is expected to:
• Support a diverse portfolio of health-related research and knowledge translation proposals at any stage, from discovery to application, including commercialization;
• Promote relevant collaborations across disciplines, professions, and sectors; and
• Contribute to the creation and use of health-related knowledge.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:
• Develop structured, sustainable, diverse and inclusive training and mentoring platforms integrated with the Network that strengthen regional capacity for the design, delivery and analysis of equitable clinical trials in HIV/AIDS and STBBI with a focus on key populations by:
o supporting the engagement of trainees, researchers, healthcare professionals, clinical research professionals as well as knowledge mobilization specialists, people with living and lived experience (PWLLE), and community members, as appropriate, in collaborative clinical trial training and mentoring opportunities;
o incorporating diverse training approaches, including experiential training opportunities;
o including diverse and inclusive approaches to 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 trainees and mentees, by embedding and applying Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) best practices.

• Support the development of skills for the future by integrating training into the Network. Training should include:
o inter- and transdisciplinary approaches and skills necessary to address persistent and emerging needs of clinical trials for HIV/AIDS and STBBI and related conditions;
o professional development skills (including transferrable skills, such as communication, analytical thinking, problem solving, project management, leadership, etc.);
o best practices in knowledge mobilization and implementation science;
o diverse career options and opportunities available across the different sectors (academia, private/for profit, public and not-for-profit); and
o approaches to advance rigorous and responsible research (e.g., product development from discovery to commercialization; best practices in clinical trial design, recruitment, conduct and reporting; sex- and gender-based analysis plus [SGBA+]; (WSC: additionalinformation) research data management, research involving key populations including Indigenous Peoples, ethics, unconscious bias, life cycle/life stage approaches to clinical trials).

• Support, contribute to and collaborate on research, knowledge mobilization and other activities of the Network regional teams and training and mentoring platforms.

The Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships Program aims to attract and retain top-tier postdoctoral talent, both nationally and internationally, to develop their leadership potential and to position them for success as research leaders of tomorrow, positively contributing to Canada’s economic, social and research-based growth through a research-intensive career.

As part of the international consortium project “Power-Oriented Natural Graphite for Advanced Battery Systems”, this project will demonstrate the potential of graphite process fines for battery use. Figure 1 (see on attached proposal) shows the NGAM production flow for LIB anodes, starting with mining and beneficiation to extract flake graphite. After crushing, grinding, and flotation, purity reaches =97%. Micronization (6–20?µm) and spheroidization improve shape and performance but generate ~50% low-value fines. These are typically discarded. RAINCA and NGCBM aim to revalorize them into high-performance, battery-grade materials, supporting sustainable graphite use.

The Canada Graduate Scholarships – Michael Smith Foreign Study Supplements (CGS-MSFSS) Program supports high-calibre Canadian graduate students in building global linkages and international networks through the pursuit of exceptional research experiences at research institutions abroad. By accessing international scientific research and training, CGS-MSFSS recipients will contribute to strengthening the potential for collaboration between Canadian and foreign institutions.

Alliance grants encourage university researchers to collaborate with partner organizations, which can be from the private, public or not-for-profit sectors. These grants support research projects led by strong, complementary, collaborative teams that will generate new knowledge and accelerate the application of research results to create benefits for Canada.
