SSHRC

Federalism and Federations Program

This strategic joint initiative with Intergovernmental Affairs is intended to further our understanding of federalism and of the relationship between federalism and public policy, including the impact of the federal system on the development and implementation of policy in sectors characterized by significant interdependence between different levels of government. It may be useful here to compare sectors that have been exposed in varying degrees to international policy-making and the pressures associated with such exposure. The program provides research grants (up to $20,000) and conference support (up to $10,000).

Deadline: Feb. 1

National Cancer Institute

Novel Technologies for Noninvasive Detection, Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer

NCI is making available up to $50,000 to develop technology systems or systems components that will enable the sensing of defined signatures of different cancerous and precancerous cell types or their associated micro-environment in the body in a way that is highly sensitive and specific, yet non-intrusive. The highest priority is for systems that can either support or provide a seamless interface between sensing/ detection and intervention (treatment, prevention).
