Funding, News and Announcements

The Vice President Research & Innovation is pleased to announce the 2021 call for applications to the Vice-President Research and Innovation International Seed Fund (VPRIIS Fund). The VPRIIS Fund is intended to support the development of international research initiatives between Dalhousie researchers and their global partners.

Applications will be accepted from faculty members who are eligible for tri-agency funding. The VPRIIS Fund will support emerging international collaborations that require start-up support to develop research ties. Such collaborations will be funded up to $5,000 per project.

Proposed initiatives will be expected to align with Dalhousie’s Research and Innovation Strategic Direction (2018-2023) - specifically, with our Signature Research Clusters and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The deadline for applications is Friday November 26, 2021. Applications will be submitted via the ROMEO Researcher Portal.
