[UM GradStudies notice] FGS Announcements for the week ending: 04 July 2008

by Christal Barkman

To view this email in your web browser, please click link http://umanitoba.ca/graduate_studies/htmlmail/awrd20080704.htm top banner <http://umanitoba.ca/graduate_studies/> The Faculty of Graduate Studies would like to bring the following competition(s) to your attention: Announcements for the week ending: 04 July 2008 INTENT TO APPLY - DEADLINE APPROACHING *_Cystic Fibrosis Research Grants - Intent to Apply Form_* The Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation invites investigators to submit a notice of intent to apply to the October 2008 Grants Competition. All research grant applicants, initial and renewal, must advise the Foundation's office of their intent to apply for funding. No more than one initial application may be submitted to a single competition. The Notice of Intent to Apply form and further information are available on the CCFF website <http://www.cysticfibrosis.ca/page.asp?id=87> (www.cysticfibrosis.ca <http://www.cysticfibrosis.ca/>). The Full Application form, updated for 2008, will be available on the website in early August. Please note the Foundation's upcoming deadline for notices of intent to apply to the Small Team Grant and Research Grant competitions. Details about these grants follow below. For both, the application process is comprised of two steps: 1) a notice of intent to apply and 2) the full application. *The registration deadline for the _notice of intent_ is August 1, 2008. * *The deadline date for receipt of the _full application_ is October 1, 2008.* If you have any questions, please contact me at the Foundation's office. *_Special Initiative Request for Applications: Team Grant in Cystic Fibrosis Research_**_ _* The Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is pleased to announce a highly ambitious team-based research initiative towards the goal of a cure or effective control for CF. This Request for Applications (RFA) will fund a team grant in the range of $333,333 per year, for up to three years, beginning in January 2009. The purpose of the Team Grant program is to support the creation or further development of a CF research team conducting high-quality collaborative research with a translational focus that will lead to an enhanced understanding of CF and have the potential to cure or more effectively control CF. It is expected that the production of new knowledge and the translation of research findings into improvements in the health of CF patients will be realized more rapidly and more efficiently through the collaboration of a team, than if the components were to be funded separately. Further information regarding this RFA may be obtained on the CCFF website <http://www.cysticfibrosis.ca/news.asp?id=467> (www.cysticfibrosis.ca <http://www.cysticfibrosis.ca/>). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Seeking Project Proposals mitacs MITACS is soliciting proposals for new full and seed projects. Full projects are expected to have multi-year duration with an annual budget of $80K to $200K. Seed projects in this competition are expected to have a 24 month duration, show potential to grow into full projects, and have an annual budget of $20K to $50K. All projects are also expected to solicit non-NCE partner funds. MITACS is primarily interested in projects within its current theme areas. However the overall merit of the project carries the highest priority and projects in potentially new application areas are also encouraged. Submissions should be sent by email to mitacs(a)mitacs.ca <mailto:mitacs@mitacs.ca> and arrive by September 19, 2008 to be eligible in this competition. New projects will be selected from these on the recommendation of the Research Management Committee, with an announcement of the selection and funding levels planned for February 2009, after approval of the MITACS Board of Directors. Projects chosen by the MITACS Research Management Committee (RMC) are expected to start on April 1, 2009. You are strongly encouraged to discuss your project ideas with MITACS before submitting your final proposal so that it best reflects the priorities that the MITACS Research Management Committee has set out. Inquiries regarding this competition can be directed to MITACS at rmarsh(a)mitacs.ca <mailto:rmarsh@mitacs.ca>. For detailed submission instructions, guidelines, and a template for your submission please visit the MITACS web page at http://www.mitacs.ca. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fellowships and Congresses Canadian Council on Animal Care Fellowship in Animal Policy Development The Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC) is currently accepting applications from suitably qualified candidates to work within the Guidelines Program of the CCAC on ethical issues and policy development in either of the two following areas: regulatory testing or emerging technologies, specifically genetically-engineered animals. CCAC is the national agency responsible for overseeing the use of animals in Canadian science. The interrelated programs of the CCAC, Assessments, Guidelines and Education, Training and Communication, provide a peer-based system to ensure the ethical use of animals for research, teaching and testing purposes. The CCAC fellowship is being offered to provide support to recent doctoral or masters graduates or other individuals with comparable levels of combined education and training. Specifically the fellowship: * creates an opportunity for young graduates to explore the ethical issues involved in the use of animals in science, gain experience and seek careers in the translation of scientific knowledge into policy; * promotes awareness of the interrelationships between science and ethics; * facilitates the transfer of knowledge from the scientific environment into practical application; * assists in integrating the work of the CCAC within the scientific community; and * fosters partnerships between scientists and other stakeholders concerned for the use of animals in science. The Fellowship will normally be for a two-year period, based on submission of a satisfactory progress report after the first year. The suitably qualified individual may also work towards a graduate degree in public administration through the University of Ottawa. The successful candidate will be co-mentored by a member of the CCAC Secretariat and by an expert in the area of study. Further information and application instructions are available on the CCAC website (www.ccac.ca) and from the CCAC office (ggriffin(a)ccac.ca <mailto:ggriffin@ccac.ca>). Canadian Council on Animal Care 130-1510 Albert St., Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 5G4. *Application deadline:** July 18, 2008* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 17th International Congress on Palliative Care* * Dear Colleague, We are pleased to inform you that the Detailed Programme of the 17th International Congress on Palliative Care, to be held September 23-26, 2008 at the Palais des Congrès in Montréal, Canada, is now available on the Congress web site at www.pal2008.com <http://www.pal2008.com/> .

Bringing together over 1500 participants from around the world, the Congress provides an opportunity to review and share the latest developments in research as well as perspectives on end-of-life care from different cultures, spiritual traditions, and professions. This year's outstanding programme features five plenary sessions, four all-day Concurrent Seminars, research fora, 160 workshops, proffered papers and symposia, and over 200 posters. Among the highlights: * the opening plenary by world-renowned philosopher Professor Charles Taylor, Winner of the 2008 Kyoto Prize for Arts and Philosophy and the 2007 Templeton Prize; * an all-day seminar on International Issues -- Palliative Care as a Basic Human Right; * a special focus on Pediatric Palliative Care, including an all-day seminar and at least one workshop or proffered paper session on pediatric palliative care in every time slot; * a full-day Clinical Master Class, given by international leaders in clinical palliative medicine; * in-depth seminars on Healing and Whole-Person Care, Family Caregivers, and Volunteer Training. For the first time, the Congress will be trilingual, with simultaneous interpretation of all plenaries as well as selected sessions, into Spanish as well as French. Join the healthcare professionals, therapists, volunteers and all those involved in palliative care who come to renew themselves as providers of care and to obtain the inspiration that will help them shape the palliative care of the future! Register before July 1st to benefit from the preferred rate! For more information or to register, please visit www.pal2008.com <http://www.pal2008.com/> or call 450-292-3456, ext. 227.
