EU Missions

European Union (UN) Missions are a new way to bring concrete solutions to some of our greatest challenges. They have ambitious goals and will deliver concrete results by 2030. EU Missions are a coordinated effort by the European Commission to pool the necessary resources in terms of policies and regulations, as well as other activities. They also aim to mobilize and activate public and private actors, such as EU Member States, regional and local authorities, research institutes, farmers and land managers, entrepreneurs and investors to create real and lasting impact. Missions engage with citizens to boost societal uptake of new solutions and approaches. They support Europe’s transformation into a greener, healthier, more inclusive and resilient continent. Each mission operates as a portfolio…

Brain Canada Foundation

As a national convenor and enabler of the Canadian brain research community, the Brain Canada Foundation supports efforts to reduce health inequities, including assessing the different ways that brain diseases and disorders affect men, women and gender diverse groups, and various stages of neurodevelopment and aging. Brain Canada’s goal is to advance brain science and remove systemic barriers and biases to ensure that all individuals have equal access to — and will benefit from — the results of bold brain research.

SSHRC Explore Bridge

Explore Bridge grants support researchers in the social sciences and humanities who: Have held at least one grant as a principal investigator (PI) from one of the three federal funding councils or (new) from a national sponsor outside of Canada; Are not currently holding Tri-Council funding as a PI (if in an automatic extension year, can no longer be receiving instalments); and Have been unsuccessful in a SSHRC funding competition in the last year (excludes SSHRC Connection and Partnership Engage Grants). It is expected that the Explore Bridge will lead to a competitive application to SSHRC as a PI within a year of the end date of the grant. Eligibility Principal Investigator Holds a full-time tenured or tenure-track position (Assistant,…

Exploration

The objective of the Exploration stream is to support high-risk, high-reward and interdisciplinary research that pushes boundaries into exciting new areas. Visit the New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF) website for more information on the Exploration grants. Potential applicants are encouraged to discuss this funding opportunity with their Faculty Research Facilitator. Value and Duration Up to $125,000 per year (including indirect costs) for up to two years. Overview The objective of the Exploration stream is to support high-risk, high-reward and interdisciplinary research that pushes boundaries into exciting new areas. Researchers are encouraged to think “outside of the box” and undertake research that defies current paradigms, brings disciplines together in unexpected ways and from bold, innovative perspectives, and has the potential to be disruptive or deliver game-changing impacts. Exploration grants support projects that: bring…

Ericsson and Carleton University extend Partnership to Advance 5G Wireless Networks

Extended partnership to continue ground-breaking research in mobile wireless networks and contribute to Canada’s thriving technology ecosystem. Ericsson Canada and Carleton University have announced a new extension to their multi-year, multi-million-dollar partnership to drive innovation, train skilled workers and build more reliable, secure technology for the future of 5G wireless communications. The announcement was made today at the bi-annual Tech Talks event, which showcases the ongoing projects and accomplishments of the Ericsson-Carleton 5G Wireless Lab. The Ericsson-Carleton University Partnership for Research and Leadership in Wireless Networks has taken significant steps toward advancing innovative wireless communications solutions together since entering a strategic collaboration in the first quarter of 2020. Based on the successful collaboration, Ericsson and Carleton have agreed to extend…

Carleton Physicists Awarded Prestigious Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics

A team of Carleton University researchers from the Department of Physics have been honoured with the 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics, awarded to the international ATLAS Collaboration for its significant contributions to particle physics over almost a decade. The prize highlights the collaboration’s detailed measurements of fundamental particles such as the Higgs boson, precise testing of the Standard Model of physics, detection of rare particle interactions and search for new physics phenomena. The prize recognizes the scientific achievements of the second phase of the ever-evolving data-mining exploration of the collaboration. The ATLAS experiment, located at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland, is one of the largest scientific endeavours ever carried out. It involves one of the largest…

Cluster 4: Digital, Industry and Space

The overarching vision behind the proposed investments under Cluster 4 is for Europe to shape competitive and trusted technologies, fostering a European industry with global leadership in key areas. It aims to enable production and consumption that respect the boundaries of our planet while maximizing the benefits for all sectors of society across Europe's social, economic and territorial contexts. This will build a competitive, digital, low-carbon and circular industry, ensure a sustainable supply of raw materials, develop advanced materials and lay the foundation for innovation in addressing global challenges. Visit the Cluster 4 webpage for more information, or use the EU Funding & Tenders Portal to search for funding opportunities from all clusters. Areas of Intervention Manufacturing technologies Key digital technologies, including quantum technologies Emerging…

Challenge Grants

The Challenge Grants support cancer research projects across the cancer continuum and across disciplines, with an ultimate goal of solving a problem (i.e., a "challenge") in cancer that is meaningful to people affected by or at risk of cancer. Applications from the four pillars of health research are welcome: (i) biomedical, (ii) clinical, (iii) health services and (iv) social, cultural, environmental and population health. Visit the Canadian Cancer Society website for more information on the Challenge Grants. Value and Duration Up to $175K per year for up to three years (15% equipment budget). Indirect costs are not eligible. Eligibility Challenges should align with the Society's research goals (prevent, detect, care, champion). Applicants must clearly articulate the relevance to people affected…

Transformation

The Transformation stream is designed to support large-scale, Canadian-led interdisciplinary research projects that address a major challenge with the potential to realize real and lasting change (high-reward). The challenge may be fundamental, leading to a scientific breakthrough, or applied, with a social, economic, environmental or health impact. Projects are expected to be world-leading, drawing on global research expertise where relevant. Visit the New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF) website for more information on the Transformation grants. Value and Duration Transformation grants are valued at between $2,000,000 and $4,000,000 per year (including indirect costs) for six years. The minimum budget for the direct costs of the research project is $1,600,000 per year, and the maximum budget is $3,200,000. Eligibility The nominated…
