The objective of the Exploration stream of the NFRF program is to support high risk, high reward and interdisciplinary research that is not easily supported through funding opportunities currently offered by the three agencies. It seeks to inspire projects that bring disciplines together beyond traditional disciplinary or common interdisciplinary approaches by research teams with the capacity to explore something new, which might fail but has the potential for significant impact. Exploration grants aim to have a variety of types of impacts, some of which might be social, economic, scientific, artistic or cultural. This is not an exhaustive list; other types of impacts are also recognized.

The objective of this funding opportunity is to catalyze and support research efforts of Canadian researchers to use the available CLSA data in order to better understand how (individually and in combination) the biological, medical, psychological, social, lifestyle and/or economic aspects of people’s lives have an impact in both maintaining health and in the development of disease and disability as people age.

This project aims to enhance equitable development and empowerment for women, girls, adolescents, their families and communities in select areas of Asia with high levels of poverty, human resource deficits, inadequate health and early childhood education systems, and entrenched gender inequalities. This project works to advance gender equality and widen opportunities for some of the poorest and most vulnerable people in Asia, focusing on the empowerment of women, girls, and adolescents as the key to addressing the root causes of gender inequality and global poverty. The project responds to the interconnected challenges experienced by women, girls, and their communities through four complementary components: foundations for health, foundations for children, advancing gender equality through civil society, and advancing Canadian champions for development. Project activities include: (1) providing training on management and delivery of gender and adolescent friendly health services, with a focus on sexual and reproductive health; (2) extending sexual and reproductive health services to communities through teleconsultations and e-health; (3) empowering community health workers to screen the nutritional status of children under five years old; (4) developing curricula and resources for early childhood development, for life skills training materials for adolescents and for the identification and response to gender-based violence; and (5) leadership training for young women.

This project aims to improve the educational systems at the pre-primary and primary level and to strengthen women’s empowerment and gender equality in Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique, Tanzania and Uganda. The project is comprised of three components: foundations for learning; advancing gender equality through civil society; and advancing Canadian champions for development. Through these components, the project aims to enhance equitable development and empowerment for women, girls, adolescents, their families and communities in the target countries. Project activities include: (1) developing gender-responsive pedagogical approaches for teaching and school leadership; (2) training educators and education professionals; (3) collaborating with governments to equip education and early childhood development centres with appropriate curricula, protocols, resources and tools; (4) working with parents, communities and civil society organizations to respond to the challenges facing girls and women in education and civic spaces that often exclude them from participation and decision-making; and (5) engaging Canadians and deploying Canadian specialists to support human resource capacity building in key local partner organizations.
The project aims to directly benefit 1.8 million people across the five countries of implementation, including 923,000 students and 930,000 teachers, school leaders, parents, government official and civil society organization members.
