Funding, News and Announcements

The India-Canada Centre for Innovative Multidisciplinary Partnerships to Accelerate Community Transformation and Sustainability (IC-IMPACTS) has launched an open call for collaborative research projects between Canada and India.  

IC-IMPACTS is committed to building healthy communities and finding solutions to the key challenges that affect the quality of life of millions of people in Indian and Canadian communities.  Projects of interest will undertake innovative research that will lead to technologies, solutions or interventions which can be deployed in partner communities within 3 years, can be implemented in low-resource and/or remote contexts, and include meaningful partnerships between Canadian and Indian researchers.

Researchers are invited to propose projects in the core theme areas of: (1) Safe and Sustainable Infrastructure, (2) Integrated Water Management, (3) Public Health, and (4) Sociological, Interdisciplinary or Cross-Thematic projects in specific areas. Up to $400,000 in funding for Canadians is available, for projects of 2-3 years. Applicants are asked to submit an LOI in the first instance, with a full proposal to follow (if selected).

Full details regarding proposal requirements and application processes can be found at: http://ic-impacts.com/?page_id=1369. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis, with no specific deadline.  

Any Dalhousie faculty member interested in this opportunity is asked to contact Jennifer Morawiecki (jennifer.morawiecki@dal.ca) in International Research & Development, for more information and support in preparing an application.
