FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES - CANADA

NEW FUNDING FOR SPORT PARTICIPATION RESEARCH IN CANADA

Sport Canada, in partnership with the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) is very pleased to announce the launch of the Sport Canada Policy Research Program (SCPRP).

The SCPRP is designed to provide empirical evidence to gain a better understanding of sport participation in Canada; to inform those policies and programs intended to promote and enhance participation in sport in Canada; and to support and implement the Canadian Sport Policy (2002).

Sport Canada has entered into partnership with two of the major granting agencies in Canada, SSHRC and CIHR, in order to fund this research program. The Research Councils represent the ‘gold standard’ for peer-reviewed research in Canada, and Sport Canada is pleased to have entered into agreements to run the SCPRP through the regular grant programs of the two Councils.

Scholars from all disciplines in the social sciences and health sciences, together with those from the various sub-disciplines of physical education / kinesiology, are encouraged to apply.

The arrangements with SSHRC and CIHR are different, and the specific details of the SCPRP with each Research Council follow.


SSHRC AND THE SPORT CANADA POLICY RESEARCH PROGRAM (SCPRP)

The primary aim of this partnership is to encourage researchers to apply for SSHRC Standard Research Grants for research projects on matters related to sport participation in Canada.

Sport Canada and SSHRC recognize that a number of such applications will be awarded Standard Research Grants (SRG). The SCPRP ensures that a larger number of applications will receive funding since it will apply to those applications recommended but not funded by SSHRC.

In addition, the SCPRP is intended to encourage research on sport participation in Canada by funding:

· Research release time in the case of funded SRG applications requesting released time but not receiving it from SSHRC;
· Research allowances of up to $10,000 in the case of SSHRC Doctoral awards funded by SSHRC; and
· Research allowances of up to $10,000 in the case of SSHRC Post-Doctoral awards funded by SSHRC.


Research on Sport Participation: The following themes have been identified as key areas for research funded by the SSHRC / SCPRP:

· research concerned with identifying and overcoming barriers to participation in sport;
· research concerned with the training of participants, volunteers, coaches and administrators in sport;
· research concerned with the development, monitoring and evaluation of policies designed to enhance participation in sport;
· research concerned with the development of capacity and infrastructure for the purposes of enhancing participation in sport; and,
· research concerned with determining the benefits and outcomes of participation in sport.

Deadline for applications for 2006-07:

Standard Research Grant: October 15, 2005
Doctoral Award Supplement: November 15, 2005
Post-Doctoral Award Supplement: October 1, 2005

See SSHRC web site for applications details www.sshrc.ca (available after August 12th, 2005)

CIHR AND THE SPORT CANADA POLICY RESEARCH PROGRAM (SCPRP)

The primary aim of this partnership is to encourage researchers to apply to CIHR for funding for research projects on matters related to sport participation and its enhancement of quality of life in Canada. In particular the following themes have been identified as priority areas for research funded through this program:

* research concerned with identifying and overcoming health barriers to participation in sport; and,
* research concerned with determining the health benefits and outcomes of participation in sport.

To achieve this goal Sport Canada and CIHR are announcing a Request for Applications (RFA) for Team Planning and Development Grants. These grants (up to $100,000 for one year) will provide opportunities for the support of planning and/or development activities of multidisciplinary and/or cross pillar research teams to address the sport participation priorities outlined above.

This support will enable researchers to meet, plan and execute pilot collaborative studies for the purpose of generating preliminary data for the team to be successful in CIHR open competitions or in future strategic proposals within CIHR /IMHA. A major target for future applications of teams with this envelope of pilot projects is the New Emerging Team grants (NET).

The SCPRP will also provide support within budgetary limitations, via the Priority Announcement program. This will support teams and individuals who were judged meritorious by CIHR review panels in its open competition, but that did not receive funding. The SCPRP will have the option to either fund the entire project (i.e., multi-year) or to provide bridge funding (i.e., 1 year) to allow the researcher to apply again in future competitions.

Deadline for registration for 2006-07: August 15, 2005

Please refer to the CIHR’s Institute of Muskuloskeletal Health and Arthritis’ web site for applications.
