The call invites interdisciplinary applications exploring sex and gender effects and dimensions in research topics relating to one or more of the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG3 Good Health and Well-Being, SDG 9 Infrastructure, Industrialization and Innovation, and SDG 13 Climate Action. NSERC will provide direct funding to eligible Canadian researchers to participate in awarded projects in the natural sciences and engineering related to SDG9 and SDG13 call topics only. The total amount available to Canadian researchers from NSERC is $700,000 CAD, enough to fund at least two projects. The maximum amount available per project is $100,000 CAD per year for up to three years, for a total of up to $300,000 CAD. The duration of a project must be two to three years.

5 MITACS Free Mitacs Workshop Mitacs is offering a skills development workshop for Graduate Students. This workshop covers the topic of Skills of Communication, and is free for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. The workshop is a full-day session featuring the tools and tips of better verbal communication. It will test your assumptions and mental models and for many it may be the first time you learn about the Ladder of Inference, the Johari Window and more. The goal is to make you more aware of the tools available to help you become a better communicator in both your work and personal lives. The mastery of these skills is a long-term process, but by simply becoming more conscious of the various communication styles, including your own, you can approach conversations differently and change conversational direction to achieve better outcomes. This workshop is being held at Trent University in room ESB B203, February 22 from 9am to 5pm. Globalink Research Award This opportunity provides $6,000 for senior undergraduate and graduate students to conduct week research projects at universities overseas. Research can take place at universities within the following countries: Australia, Brazil, China, EU member countries, Israel, India, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Norway, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, United Kingdom and the United States of America. For travel starting this fall, applications must be submitted for May, and for travel starting this winter, the application must be submitted by September.

THE NETWORKS OF CENTRES OF EXCELLENCE: KNOWLEDGE MOBILIZATION INITIATIVE COMPETITION The goal of the NCE-KM Initiative is to further the application and mobilization of world-class research to benefit Canada and the Canadian population, in part by supporting networking and collaboration between well-established research teams and knowledge users. The program supports networks pursuing knowledge translation along the entire spectrum: from the range of activities encompassed in knowledge mobilization (creation of activities and tools designed to put knowledge into active service, often through the establishment of new or modification of existing policies, processes and standards) to those encompassed in commercialization (the transformation of knowledge or technology into marketable goods, processes or services). Applications must be submitted by one or more researchers who are eligible to apply for funding under the policies and guidelines of at least one of the three federal granting councils. All applications must be co-led by a non-academic knowledge user as a co-applicant with an academic researcher. Letters of Intent (LOI), the first stage of the review process, are due April 16, For more information on this opportunity, please contact the Office of Research and Innovation.
