Canada Arts Presentation Fund - Programming Support

Hiring of an Economic Development Officer for a three-year period.

Support to help Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) from across Northern Ontario diversify into the defence sector through targeted financial assistance.

This project will use JWST/NirCam imaging along with NIRSpec and MIRI spectroscopy to study the atmosphere and infer the formation history of the first mature cold Jupiter analog planet imaged around another star. These observations will combine the acquired orbital information with archival data to accurately determine the planet’s orbit, mass, and bulk density.

This project will use JWST/NIRSpec and MIRI to obtain high-precision spectra of 14 cold (250 – 500 K) brown dwarfs, creating the first comprehensive “cold world spectral library”. Combined with archival data, it will establish benchmark atmospheric properties – tracing clouds, chemistry, mixing, and auroral processes. This will help guide interpretation of upcoming JWST detections of cold, directly imaged exoplanets and advance comparative planetology across planets and brown dwarfs.

Purchase of modular units to support construction projects in a remote community, addressing a key constraint to the community's capital development projects.

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

Sport science has traditionally centered on male athletes, either ignoring, or extrapolating findings to female athletes. Focusing on sex as a biological variable and gender as a social variable, this priority announcement (PA) aims to address research gaps in understanding the health of female athletes in the context of organized sport participation.
This PA is the result of a partnership between the CIHR Institutes of Gender and Health (CIHR-IGH), and Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis (IMHA). For the purpose of this PA, sport is defined as "Activities that develop specific skills, and that are organized around competition and governed by rules" and will contribute to the National Women's Health Research Initiative (NWHRI) which is advancing a coordinated research program that addresses under-researched and high-priority areas of women's health and will ensure new evidence improves women's and gender-diverse people's care and health outcomes. The NWHRI promotes an intersectional lens to research and care to tackle persistent gaps for all women, including for Indigenous, Black, and women impacted by racism, women with disabilities, and members of Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and additional sexually and gender diverse (2SLGBTQI+) communities.
This PA is designed to support research that considers physical, biological, reproductive, psychological, emotional, cultural, and/or spiritual health as it relates to female athletes participating in sports across the life-course together with gender and other intersecting variables. Examples of research topics that would be considered for this initiative include:
• Sex-related factors that differently or disproportionately influence health outcomes of female athletes participating in sports.
• Impact of sports participation on puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum health, menopause, aging, and/or other sex-specific health outcomes among female athletes.
• Identification of unique health experiences of female athletes participating in sport with intersecting variables including ethnicity, (dis)ability, age, sexual orientation, and gender (including gender identity inclusive of trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and other gender diverse identities; gender relations; gender roles; and/or institutionalized gender dimensions).
• Identification of strategies to manage, support, and promote mental health and psychological safety of female athletes in the context of sport participation.
