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.

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…

MP Yasir Naqvi Announces New Funding for Carleton University’s Matthew Johnson

On Monday, May 13, Yasir Naqvi, Member of Parliament Ottawa Centre, announced a $2 Million investment from Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) to fund Carleton University researcher Matthew Johnson’s methane emissions inventory work. The announcement kicked off the first day of the 2024 CanCH4 Symposium – Methane by the Numbers, a technical meeting to share research and measurement data on methane emissions to support Faster & Further, Canada’s National Methane Strategy. Member of Parliament Ottawa Centre, Yasir Naqvi, announces $2 Million in funding for Matthew Johnson Johnson’s Energy and Emissions Research Lab, a national hub for the study of methane, is collecting vital data to help Canada meet its ambitious target of reducing 75 per cent of all methane emissions, which…
