There is an internal and external submission process. Carleton researchers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with both.

Horizon Europe proposals consist of two parts:

• Part A: Administrative forms that include general information on participants, budget, ethics, security and gender equality.
• Part B: Technical and research descriptions of the project. This includes objectives, methodology, impact assessment, dissemination plans and budget justification.

All Horizon Europe projects require collaboration between a minimum of three organizations from different countries:

• Carleton (Canada) counts as the first.
• The other two must be from the EU or an associated country.
• At least one organization must be from an EU Member State.

Visit the EU Funding & Tenders Portal to search for calls. Use the following filters:

• Programming period: 2021-2027
• Programme: Horizon Europe
• Programme part: Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness

You can also view the cluster-specific calls directly from our website.

All participants must create an EU Login account to access the Horizon Europe portal. When registering, use Carleton’s Participant Identification Code (PIC number) to link your application to the university: 999879978.

Funding provided to institutions through the JELF helps institutions to recruit and retain outstanding researchers and to acquire the tools that enable the innovative work of leading researchers. JELF funding is considered highly competitive, especially when combined with research support from our partner organizations.

The JELF has 5 different funding streams: one unaffiliated stream and four partnership streams.

The unaffiliated stream accepts proposals for infrastructure that are standalone and not affiliated to an application submitted to any of a funding partners.

The partnership stream accepts proposals that are submitted alongside an application for research support from a funding partners: Canada Research Chairs, Canada Excellence Research Chairs, NSERC Alliance Grants, and SSHRC Insight Grants and Partnership Grants.

The Innovation Fund provides continued investments in infrastructure, across the full spectrum of research. Eligible infrastructure projects involve acquiring or developing research infrastructure to increase research capacity and support world-class research that will lead to social, health, environmental, or economic benefits for Canadians. The Innovation Fund intends to enhance and optimize the capacity of institutions and research communities to conduct the proposed research over the useful life of the infrastructure.

Total project costs must be greater than $1M to be considered for the Innovation Fund competition.

Research requires both direct and indirect investments. Operational maintenance of research infrastructure requires reinvestment on a significant scale. The indirect costs listed below are expenses that must be included in budget requests to external sponsors of research:

• Space and Utilities
• Laboratory and Office Furniture
• Library Services
• Research Financial Services
• Research Ethics, Animal Care and Biohazards
• Payroll
• Liability Insurance
• Occupational Health and Safety

Due to the pandemic, “Type A” RA payments have changed and are being issued as an advanced lump sum directly deposited into the student’s student account. If the student has a balance owing in their student account, the RA payment is put towards that balance. Please have your student check their student balance, and contact Student Accounts if they have any questions.

For “Type B” RA payments – if the box titled “Payment to Include Employment Source Deductions” was checked off in the Graduate RA system, the payment would have been reduced by approximately 14% to accommodate these source deductions. Unlike “Type A” payments, “Type B” payments are put through the payroll system where the student gets paid as per the University’s payroll schedule. If your student hasn’t been paid at all, it may be because they haven’t accepted the job offer in Carleton Central.
