Funding, News and Announcements

Dear Colleagues,

CIMVHR is contacting you regarding a new funding opportunity under the CIMVHR Advanced Analytics Initiative which was announced in November 2016 at the annual CIMVHR Forum event, made possible through collaboration with IBM and Babcock.

The academic led research projects selected under this Initiative are currently for a period of 2 years. Resources will take the form of in-kind IBM advanced analytics tools, expertise and cash. The cash being allocated to the selected projects will be a maximum of $200K per project over these 2 years. We would also like to work with selected projects to explore the potential to leverage funding from other organizations including MITACS which provides funding for graduate students or post doctoral fellows.

Details are provided on the CIMVHR Funding Opportunities page, namely, the "Guidelines" and the "Project Application". The deadline for proposal submission is 23 October 2017.

If you have any question or wish to discuss further, please feel free to contact me (stephanie.belanger@rmc.ca) and Dr. Richard Birtwhistle (richard.birtwhistle@dfm.queensu.ca), CIMVHR's Executive Director. If required, we are also able to facilitate a teleconference with IBM experts who can guide you regarding the IBM technology, tools and data analytics dimension of your application.

Thank you in advance for your interest.

Most cordially,
Stéphanie
