Request for written feedback - Search for a Vice-President (Research and International)
by President's Office 10 Dec '21

10 Dec '21

To Associate Deans (Research), As you will have seen in the notice below, circulated October 18, I am seeking input and advice from our community to inform the Presidential Advisory Committee for the search for a Vice-President (Research and International). Some of you may have responded to the consultation survey, but I wanted to reinforce with you the value the Committee places on having input from this group. Specifically, we would welcome your advice as it relates to the role, the types of qualities and qualifications that the Committee should be particularly seeking in its assessment of candidates, and how the Committee may wish to frame the opportunities and challenges for the incoming Vice-President (Research and International) in its discussions with potential candidates. I have engaged Laverne Smith to assist with this search process and I would encourage you to share your thoughts with the Committee by sending an email directly to Laverne at ManitobaVPRI(a)lavernesmith.com<mailto:ManitobaVPRI@lavernesmith.com> by Friday, January 7, 2022. If you wish, you may also submit a nomination of a potential candidate directly to Laverne as well. Thank you very much for your time and attention. Sincerely, Michael From: all-employees-bounces(a)lists.umanitoba.ca<mailto:all-employees-bounces@lists.umanitoba.ca> <all-employees-bounces(a)lists.umanitoba.ca<mailto:all-employees-bounces@lists.umanitoba.ca>> On Behalf Of President's Office Sent: Monday, October 18, 2021 3:08 PM To: all-employees(a)lists.umanitoba.ca<mailto:all-employees@lists.umanitoba.ca>; 'All student email (all-students(a)lists.umanitoba.ca<mailto:all-students@lists.umanitoba.ca>)' <all-students(a)lists.umanitoba.ca<mailto:all-students@lists.umanitoba.ca>> Subject: Search for a Vice-President (Research and International) [cid:image001.png@01D7C431.30F71620] Message from Dr. Michael Benarroch, President and Vice-Chancellor As announced earlier this year<https://news.umanitoba.ca/term-extended-for-vp-research-and-international/>, Dr. Digvir S.

With the end of his term approaching, the University has launched a search for the next Vice-President (Research and International).

Please click here<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ManitobaVPRI> to complete a brief questionnaire to be returned directly to Laverne Smith & Associates.

The University of Manitoba is strongly committed to equity and diversity within its community and especially welcomes candidates identifying as a member of one or more equity-seeking groups, including but not limited to women, racialized persons, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, persons of all sexual and gender identities, and others who may contribute to the further diversification of ideas.

Memo with attached Diversity Self-Declaration Form
by Digvir Jayas 20 Jun '19

20 Jun '19

Dear Deans/Directors, Associate Deans (Research) and Research Liaison Officers: Further to the memo from me and Dr. Ristock of June 17 (attached for ease of reference), regarding a special call for a Tier 2 CRC directed towards persons with a disability, please note the following changes: In order to increase transparency in this process, to manage the confidentiality of the disclosure related to the self-declaration of a disability and to speed up the process in order to prepare and submit a nomination in time for the October, 2019 CRC intake date, I am asking academic staff members to submit their applications directly to my office. Applications will be reviewed by the CRC Nomination Selection Committee composed of the Provost and Vice-President (Academic), the Vice-Provost (Academic Affairs), the Associate Vice-President (Research), and the Vice-President (Research and International) who will act as chair of this Committee. Decision of the successful candidate will be communicated to the applicant and their dean/director by August 6, 2019. Unsuccessful candidates will also be notified on the same day. Please note: 1) The position for a Tier 2 CRC for persons who self-identify as having a disability is now advertised on UM Careers: HTTPS://VIPRECPROD.AD.UMANITOBA.CA/DEFAULT.ASPX?REQ_ID=07066, posted on our CRC Public Accountability<http://umanitoba.ca/research/ors/crc_public_accountability.html#External_an…> and is also attached. 2) Applications will now be sent directly to me by 4:30 p.m., July 24, 2019. We have eliminated the need for units to select the best candidate and then submit packages to VPRIO. Please circulate this advertisement and the CRC Workplace Diversity Self-Declaration Form (attached) widely within your units. Sincere thanks. Digvir S. Jayas, O.C., Ph.D., D.Sc., P.Eng., P.Ag., FRSC Vice-President (Research and International) and Distinguished Professor 202 Administration Building 66 Chancellors Circle University of Manitoba Winnipeg, MB, Canada R3T 2N2 Phone: 204-474-9404 (office) Phone: 204-291-4505 (mobile) Fax: 204-261-1318 Email: digvir.jayas(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:digvir.jayas@umanitoba.ca> Webpage: www.umanitoba.ca/research<http://www.umanitoba.ca/research>

Proposals for a Tier 2 CRC for persons who self-identify as having a disability
by Digvir Jayas 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Dear Deans/Director and Associate deans Research and Research Liaison Officer: As you are aware, our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan for the purposes of the Canada Research Chairs (CRC) Program, has been well-developed and approved by the CRC review process. In this Plan, we exceed our target for the inclusion of women, visible minorities, and Indigenous persons. However, we are below the target for persons with disabilities (by one). Given difficulties in measuring these targets and the numerous reasons why an individual may choose not to disclose a disability, this may not accurately reflect the number of faculty members with disabilities. The CRC reserves the right to refuse further nominations unless we meet our targets for all four federally designated groups. To this end, we are initiating a call to encourage all faculty members who self-identify as having a disability to apply for a Tier 2 CRC (any research area). The self declaration form is attached to this memo for distribution. Faculty members who self-identify do not have to give details of their disability. This information will help the University accurately represent its needs. I would like to assure all faculty members that they will be supported and that this information will be kept confidential. The Vice-President (Research and International) and Deans will work with Valerie Williams, Diversity & Inclusion Consultant in Human Resources to ensure this is a respectful and confidential process. In order to allow sufficient time to prepare a competitive CRC application for the October 2019 intake, we are requesting that this letter be shared with all faculty members in your unit. We are seeking faculty members who self-identify as having a disability and who meet the Tier 2 CRC eligibility criteria: * less than 10 years (adjusted by any interruptions for parental leaves, caring for family members or sick leaves) from the completion of their terminal degree; * competitive against the main CRC criteria (excellent research productivity, emerging research leader in Canada and beyond, evidence of HQP training, ability to attract competitive research funding). Candidates should submit to you: * a current CV; * a maximum two-page description of the research program they will develop over the five-year term of the chair. Please describe in your accompanying letter how this research fits with your unit's strategic research plan and how this research fits with the University's strategic research plan. There is a limit of one application per faculty/unit so we ask you to select the best candidate from all submissions received by your office and send the best package only to me by NO LATER THAN 4:30 PM ON JULY 19, 2019. Note that although we normally reserve Tier 2 CRCs for recruitment only, we will use this CRC for retention. Also note that this CRC can be a CIHR, NSERC or SSHRC Chair - it is open to all disciplines. Thank you. Digvir S. Jayas, O.C., Ph.D., D.Sc., P.Eng., P.Ag., FRSC Vice-President (Research and International) and Distinguished Professor [UMLogoSignature] 202 Administration Building 66 Chancellors Circle University of Manitoba Winnipeg, MB, Canada R3T 2N2 Phone: 204-474-9404 (office) Phone: 204-291-4505 (mobile) Fax: 204-261-1318 Email: digvir.jayas(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:digvir.jayas@umanitoba.ca> Webpage: www.umanitoba.ca/research<http://www.umanitoba.ca/research>

CFI-IF 2018-19 Process Update
by Digvir Jayas 22 Mar '19

22 Mar '19

Dear Project Leads for CFI-IF 2018-19 Competition: I am writing to provide an update on the University's preparation and processes for the upcoming CFI-IF competition. The CFI-IF competition sets a funding limit on eligible institutions, based upon their overall Tri-Agency funding levels, averaged over the past three years. In the past, our success with this competition has been low. In fact, in the last competition, we received no awards. It is especially important to note in the current context that in past competitions, we did not generate enough proposals to reach our funding limit with the outcome being that we submitted any and all reasonable proposals. Based on our past funding limit and our performance with Tri-Agency funding, we can reasonably expect a funding limit of $28M for the current competition. In order to increase our engagement in the CFI-IF program and to increase the probability of success, we changed the process for the upcoming competition. The overall objective of the new process for the CFI-IF applications is to have proposals fully developed and in very close to final form, well in advance of the CFI deadline for submission. In this way, and once the actual CFI call is announced, all that remains to be done on UM applications is "fine tuning" to align any new requirements set by the CFI, with the bulk of the work already completed. We initiated a "notice of intent to apply" (NOI) process on January 25, 2018, which required potential applicants to complete a short 2-3 page outline of the proposal together with a rough budget estimate. NOIs were due on May 15, 2018. We then held a "pitch" session on June 13 and 15, 2018, in which applicants had 10 minutes to present their proposals to an audience of other applicants, members of the CFI Advisory Committee, ORS staff, and any interested parties. The "pitches" were followed by 20 minutes of questioning by the audience. There were 21 NOIs submitted and presented at the "pitch" sessions. Seven applicants withdrew their applications after these sessions. The remaining 14 applicants were required to submit their full CFI-IF applications in close to final form by December 14, 2018, allowing approximately six months after the "pitch" sessions to work on their proposals. During August-September, 2018, Dr. Glavin met one-on-one with each applicant (some of whom were accompanied by co-applicants). All were told - without exception - that they were required to submit their proposal by the December 14, 2018 deadline - as if it was the final draft ready to submit to CFI. They were told also, without exception, that this would be a very tough competition and that, based on our past experience and current Tri-Agency funding levels, we could expect a CFI-IF funding limit of approximately $28M, as noted above. UM (as do other universities) also partners with CFI applications led out of other institutions and we committed $2.5M to these initiatives. We are allowed to exceed our application limit by 10% at the time of application, meaning that, in the end, we have an application limit of approximately $30M. With the remaining 14 proposals, our application limit was oversubscribed by a factor of 1.5 ($45.3M in requests versus a $30M limit). This is good news in the sense that uptake by UM researchers increased, relative to past years, and gives us an opportunity to submit very "polished" applications and hopefully increases our chances of success. It is bad news in that tough decisions had to be made. The CFI Advisory Committee met on February 4, 2019. It is important to note that the UM Advisory Committee attempted to replicate the CFI multidisciplinary assessment committees (MACs) that review these proposals. We had representation from the faculties of Arts, Science, Engineering, Health Sciences, and Agricultural and Food Sciences. Each proposal was reviewed by a primary reviewer, a secondary reviewer, and two readers. Every committee member was encouraged to comment on any proposal. The CFI Advisory Committee placed the proposals into one of the following four categories: Category 1 - "Minor revisions" needed Category 2 - "Needs questions" addressed Category 3 - "Major challenges" to the proposal Category 4 - Should not proceed Dr. Glavin then met with Dr. Jayas and recommended proceeding with applications in categories 1 and 2 for two reasons: i) these proposals are most likely to succeed; and ii) their CFI request can be managed within our expected limit. I took this recommendation to President's Executive Team (PET) for information. During the week of March 11, 2019, Dr. Glavin met one-on-one with PIs with proposals from categories 1 and 2 and indicated, without exception, that: * We need the names of two external reviewers who can provide critical reviews of their proposal after they incorporate the feedback from the CFI Advisory Committee; they should incorporate the feedback from the external reviewers in July/August, 2019, and they should then submit the proposal to VPRIO by September 9, 2019, in a form that could be sent to CFI on that day. This is to include: a firm budget, a concrete plan for securing the 20% matching, and all details of the proposal as if in final form. * All applicants in this group were also told that, since these are institutional applications where the UM is the applicant, the decision to proceed at this stage is not final and that the UM reserves the right to not proceed with any proposal if, for example, the proposal is not in a state that is ready for submission to CFI or if our application funding cap decreases as a result of the anticipated April, 2019 call from CFI. The PIs in categories 3 and 4 have been told that their applications will not proceed forward. However, if the UM application limit is increased (a decision we expect to know by April 2019), we can add one or more proposals from category 3. At that time, we will inform all PIs in category 3 and their Deans and ADRs, to submit their revised proposals within 2 months and with the advice from CFI Advisory Committee we will select one or more proposals to add to our submission list. If the CFI call comes out in April 2019, we can reasonably assume an October-November due date. Thus, having proposals in essentially final form as of September, 2019, we will have achieved the objective of leaving only "fine tuning" to be done in the weeks leading up to the actual submission deadline.

The Government of Canada launched an engagement plan to help strengthen the western Canadian economy, and lay the foundation for long-term growth and prosperity across the four western provinces. The federal government is initiating a conversation with business, industry, academia, Indigenous Peoples, and different levels of government, to help develop a truly “Made-in-Western-Canada” growth strategy. This strategy not only reflects the unique regional advantages of each province, but also helps to stimulate economic growth. Your input will help shape the Western Canada Growth Strategy, a roadmap to build an innovative and inclusive Western Canada — one that stimulates the economy, strengthens the middle class and increases job opportunities for all Canadians, including Indigenous Peoples, women, youth, and new immigrants. How to Participate: We invite you to distribute this email broadly within your respective networks.

Research Excellence Recognition Reception - December 5 at 5:30 pm
by Digvir Jayas 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

Dear Deans and Director, and Associate Deans (Research) and Research Liaison Officer: This is to advise of a new approach to recognizing research excellence at the U of M. The former RSC or New Fellows Reception to honour Fellows, Members, and Awardees of the Royal Society of Canada, Canadian Academy of Engineering and Canadian Academy of Health Sciences will be expanded to include recognition of the following: * New and renewed Canada Research Chairs * Endowed and Sponsored Research Chairs * CFI Innovation Fund recipients * Canada Council for the Arts awardees and prize winners (Killam, Diefenbaker) * Canadian Academy of Engineering (fellows, special awards) * Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (fellows, special awards) * CIHR awards (health researcher, KT) * Canadian Medical Association awards (Starr, Medal of Honour) * Canadian Medical Hall of Fame * Gairdner Canada awards (Wightman, International) * Governor General's Innovation awards * Ernest C. Manning Innovation awards * NSERC awards (Brockhouse, Synergy, Steacie) * Partners in Research awards * Royal Society of Canada (members, fellows, special awardees) * The Prix Galien * Steacie Prize for Natural Sciences The inaugural reception is scheduled for December 5, 2018 at Fort Garry campus. The recipients who will be honoured are: * Meghan Azad, Pediatrics and Child Health, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences; Children's Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba * Pourang Irani, Computer Science - CRC in Ubiquitous Analytics (Tier 2) * Lorrie Kirshenbaum, Physiology and Pathophysiology, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences; St. Boniface Hospital Albrechtsen Research Centre * Puyan Mojabi, Electrical and Computer Engineering - CRC in Electromagnetic Inversion for Characterization and Design (Tier 2) * Roberta Woodgate, Nursing - CRC in Child and Family Engagement in Health Research and Healthcare (Tier 1) * Guozhen Zhu, Mechanical Engineering - CRC in Mechanical and Functional Design of Nanostructured Materials (Tier 2) * Dr. Philip Ferguson, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Research Chair (IRC) in Satellite Engineering * Dr. Marcia Friesen, Biosystems Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, associate professor and director of the Centre for Engineering Professional Practice and Engineering Education - NSERC Chair in Design Engineering for Sustainable Development and Enhanced Design Integration * Dr. Julienne Stroeve, Canada 150 Research Chair in Sea Ice-Climate Coupling * RSC new Fellows and Members elected in 2018 (not yet announced) * 2018 recipients of Canadian Academy of Engineering and Canadian Academy of Health Sciences awards (not yet announced) Another new approach is to eliminate doing news conference funding announcements unless we are specifically required to do so by the funder or Minister. Over the past several years, these types of events have had limited uptake from the ever-shrinking media landscape in Winnipeg. Rather, sharing our research excellence successes via the many digital avenues that we have at our disposal, that we know are reaching our intended audiences in an effective way, is what we will focus on. This will provide an increased return on investment. Our combined social media channels reach an audience of 223,000 local, national and international readers - equivalent to one print and online Saturday edition of the Winnipeg Free Press. This is in addition to print media ads done throughout the year to highlight research excellence. Please mark December 5 on your calendar. Further details will be sent later. I look forward to seeing you all there. Digvir S.

CFI-IF Notices of Intent and Presentation Schedule
by Digvir Jayas 23 May '18

23 May '18

Dear Colleagues: For the CFI Innovation Fund competition, we have received 21 NOIs. As you know, we have invited the Project Leaders or a team member for each project to present their concept to the university community on June 13 and 15 (schedule is attached for your information). I have also attached the 21 NOIs for your review. I reviewed these myself and it took me 3 hours to review. I am not a fast reader so you probably will take less time. I request you, as the research leader in your Faculty/School, to review each NOI and then identify names in your own unit who should review that NOI and attend the presentation from the project team. I am sharing with all researchers the schedule of the presentations and have asked them to review the topics and contact you if they need a copy of one or more NOIs prior to the presentation date. This will identify additional names from your units. I sincerely thank you for your time in helping us develop the best possible proposals for submission to the CFI by engaging the wider university community. Digvir S. Jayas, Ph.D., P.Eng., P.Ag., FAZRA, FASABE, FCSBE, FAIC, FCIFST, FEC, FEIC, FCAE, FRSC, FNAAS, FISAE, FNASc, IntPE (Canada), APEC Engineer, FGC (Hon) Vice-President (Research and International) and Distinguished Professor 202 Administration Building 66 Chancellors Circle University of Manitoba Winnipeg, MB, Canada R3T 2N2 Phone: 204-474-9404 (office) Phone: 204-291-4505 (mobile) Fax: 204-261-1318 Email: digvir.jayas(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:digvir.jayas@umanitoba.ca> Webpage: www.umanitoba.ca/research<http://www.umanitoba.ca/research>

[ADR-RLO-Meeting] Sharing The Innovative Research of UM Graduate Students
by John Kearsey 27 Apr '18

27 Apr '18

Colleagues, Through their innovative research, our graduate students are changing the landscape around issues that are of global interest and importance, including the intersection of technology and medicine, influencing perceptions on climate change, and the future effects of antimicrobial resistance. Beginning on Saturday, April 28, we will be celebrating their innovative ideas through a media campaign focused on this year’s 13 Three Minute Thesis (3MT) finalists. Through these students, we’ll demonstrate the breadth and depth of research happening at the UM and the impact their work is having at the local, national and international level. The campaign will launch in the Globe and Mail and Winnipeg Free Press on Saturday, April 28. A preview of what will appear is attached. In addition, we will be featuring the individual research stories of six of the 3MT finalists through print and digital ads, social media, videos and special content created for the Front and Centre website. There will be other activities planned over the next several months to share these stories with our local and national alumni, community leaders and other key stakeholders. Be sure to look for the ads this Saturday. Have a wonderful weekend. Best, John John E. Kearsey, Vice President (External) University of Manitoba 204 Administration Building Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada R3T 2N2 T: +1.204.474.7200 M: +1.204.228.0697 [DNR-00-046-FandCLaunch-Event-PromoButton_Signature]<https://frontandcentre.cc.umanitoba.ca/>

[ADR-RLO-Others] Announcement from Dr. David T. Barnard, President and Vice Chancellor University of Manitoba
by President's Office 24 Apr '18

24 Apr '18

DATE: April 24, 2018 TO: Deans, Directors, Senior Administrative Leaders and Associate Deans (Research) FROM: David T. Barnard, Ph.D. President and Vice-Chancellor RE: Announcement: Distinguished Professor Dr. Digvir Jayas, Vice-President (Research and International) I am pleased to announce that Distinguished Professor Dr. Digvir Jayas has agreed to a two-year extension of his term as Vice-President (Research and International), to June 30, 2021. This extension was approved by the Board of Governors at its meeting of April 17, 2018. Dr. Jayas received his doctoral degree in Agricultural Engineering from the University of Saskatchewan in 1987, following a Master's Degree from the University of Manitoba in 1982 and an undergraduate degree from the G. B. Pant University in India in 1980, both in Agricultural Engineering. He has spent his career at the University of Manitoba, first as a faculty member in the Agricultural Engineering and Biosystems Engineering Departments, followed by a series of progressively senior leadership roles as Department Head, Associate Dean (Research), Associate Vice-President (Research) and Vice-President (Research and International), a role he has held since 2009. Dr. Jayas is consistent in his efforts to ensure that institutional decisions consistently reflect its interests as a research-intensive U15 university but also fit the needs of the University's research enterprise, including establishing supports for researchers intended to grow the success rate for grant applications, enhancing research funding supports provided by the university, advocating increased investment in graduate student support, leading successful application processes for research chairs, and changing the way in which intellectual property is managed. He has, through many conversations with researchers, department heads, Associate Deans (Research) and Deans, encouraged a strategic approach to pursuing research funding. In a similarly collaborative manner, he has led significant progress in pursuing the implementation of the research pillar of the University of Manitoba strategic plan (Taking our Place). Under his leadership, research funding has surpassed $190 million and research programs have been established to support interdisciplinary collaborations, incorporation of Indigenous knowledge and perspectives in research, and international collaborations. Dr. Jayas has generated notable success in advancing major initiatives on the University's behalf, such as the successful application processes for a Canada Excellence Research Chair and a Canada 150 Chair, the Churchill Marine Observatory and the development of the Smartpark Innovation Hub. He continues to advocate with government and industry for increased funding for research and to develop supports within the University that help researchers be successful. Dr. Jayas' areas of expertise are in drying, handling and storing grains and oilseeds and digital image processing for grading and processing operations in the Agri-Food Industry. His work has received global recognition and he has been the recipient of numerous awards and honours for his contributions. Among many others, he is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, a Fellow of Engineers Canada, a Fellow of the Indian Society of Agricultural Engineers and a Foreign Fellow of both the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, India and the National Academy of Sciences, India. He is the recipient of an Honorary Doctorate from the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University and a winner of both the Brockhouse Canada Prize for interdisciplinary research in science and engineering and the Dr. John M. Bowman Memorial Winnipeg RH Institute Foundation Award. Over his career, he has received almost $30 million in support for his research projects via grants and has authored or coauthored over 900 publications. He also is a member of numerous boards, committees, professional organizations and associations, which presently include ArcticNet, Cancer Care Manitoba Project Grants Committee, Engineers Canada, Genome Prairie, Manitoba Centre for Health Policy, NSERC Council, TRIUMF and Research Manitoba, among others. I know you will join me in congratulating Digvir on the extension of his term. I am looking forward to our continued work together. [cid:image001.png@01D3DBB1.C82F1720] David T.

Please find below the supercluster release. Please let me know if you are aware of participation of any of our researchers in the funded superclusters. I am aware of participation of our researchers in the Protein Industries Supercluster. Thanks. Digvir S. Jayas, Ph.D., P.Eng., P.Ag., FAZRA, FASABE, FCSBE, FAIC, FCIFST, FEC, FEIC, FCAE, FRSC, FNAAS, FISAE, FNASc, IntPE (Canada), APEC Engineer, FGC (Hon) Vice-President (Research and International) and Distinguished Professor 207 Administration Building 66 Chancellors Circle University of Manitoba Winnipeg, MB, Canada R3T 2N2 Phone: 204-474-9404 (office) Phone: 204-254-0637 (home) Fax: 204-474-7568 Email: digvir.jayas(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:digvir.jayas@umanitoba.ca> Webpage: www.umanitoba.ca/research<http://www.umanitoba.ca/research> Government of Canada’s new innovation program expected to create tens of thousands of middle-class jobs News Release From Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada<https://www.canada.ca/en/innovation-science-economic-development.html> $950-million investment positions Canada for an innovation boom in high-growth sectors February 15, 2018 – Ottawa, ON When small, medium-sized and large companies, academic institutions and not-for-profit organizations come together to generate bold ideas, Canadians benefit from more well-paying jobs, groundbreaking research and a world-leading innovation economy. That’s why the Government of Canada is investing up to $950 million under the Innovation Superclusters Initiative<http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/093.nsf/eng/00008.html>. The investment, which will be matched dollar for dollar by the private sector, is expected to create more than 50,000 middle-class jobs and grow Canada’s economy by $50 billion over the next 10 years. In 2017, the Government of Canada challenged Canadian businesses of all sizes to collaborate with other innovation actors, including post-secondary and research institutions, to propose bold and ambitious strategies that would transform regional economies and develop job-creating superclusters of innovation, like Silicon Valley. Today, the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development, announced Canada’s five superclusters: * The Ocean Supercluster<http://oceansupercluster.ca/> (based in Atlantic Canada) will use innovation to improve competitiveness in Canada’s ocean-based industries, including fisheries, oil and gas, and clean energy; * The SCALE.AI Supercluster<https://aisupplychain.ca/> (based in Quebec) will make Canada a world leading exporter by building intelligent supply chains through artificial intelligence and robotics; * The Advanced Manufacturing Supercluster<http://ngmc.qreserve.com/> (based in Ontario) will connect Canada’s technology strengths to our manufacturing industry to make us a world manufacturing leader in the economy of tomorrow; * The Protein Industries Supercluster<https://www.proteinindustriescanada.ca/> (based in the Prairies) will make Canada a leading source for plant proteins and help feed the world; * The Digital Technology Supercluster<https://www.digitalsupercluster.ca/> (based in British Columbia) will use big data and digital technologies to unlock new potential in important sectors like healthcare, forestry, and manufacturing. The Innovation Superclusters Initiative is a centrepiece of the Government of Canada’s Innovation and Skills Plan<http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/062.nsf/eng/home>, a multi-year strategy to prepare Canada for the innovative jobs of today and tomorrow. Quotes “Today we are investing in five superclusters so that tomorrow we will be more than 50,000 jobs richer and benefit from an even stronger economy—an innovation economy. With the Superclusters Initiative, we bet on Canadians. We looked at what we did well across our great nation, and we asked industry, academia and NGOs how we could do it better. The response was impressive and the ideas were remarkable.” – The Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development “When Canadian small businesses succeed, Canadians succeed. That’s why I’m thrilled to see more than 300 Canadian small and medium-sized businesses playing such a central role in Canada’s superclusters. Our economy is changing, and this kind of collaboration—between large and small businesses, alongside community and academic partners—shows what is possible when we work together. I am especially proud of the fact that so many of these small businesses are run by women. These new superclusters will create great new opportunities for them to scale up, export and create well-paying middle-class jobs. This is great news for our economy, for Canadian innovation and for our society.” – The Honourable Bardish Chagger, Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Minister of Small Business and Tourism “Groundbreaking Canadian research is at the heart of these superclusters. We are renowned for our bold progress in artificial intelligence, ocean and marine science, and agriculture. With our Superclusters Initiative, scientists in these fields and others can look forward to expanding their research horizons in partnership with their academic peers, businesses, entrepreneurs and members of the non-profit community.” – The Honourable Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science and Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities “The government’s investment in the Ocean Supercluster will position Canada as a global leader in the ocean economy of the future. It catalyzes unprecedented private investment in collaborative innovation across Canada’s ocean sectors, including energy, food and bio products, shipping, defence, and ocean technology. This will kick start new partnerships, innovations, and economic opportunities.” – Robert Orr, Managing Director, Cuna del Mar “SCALE.AI will build something unique: bolster Canada’s leadership in AI and data science, and define the new supply-chain platform, deeply impacting the retail, manufacturing and transport sectors. SCALE.AI will drive economic growth, create highly-skilled jobs and boost our talent pool, putting AI at the service of all Canadians.” – Louis Roy, President, Optel Group, and Hélène Desmarais, Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer, CEIM, Co-Presidents, SCALE.AI Supercluster “Led by some of Canada's strongest companies, the Advanced Manufacturing Supercluster will drive greater connectivity and collaboration between our manufacturing and technology sectors. By leveraging southern Ontario’s innovation infrastructure and a strong network of manufacturing, technology and business expertise, we're confident that the Advanced Manufacturing Supercluster will drive exponential benefits for industry and the Canadian economy.” – Linda Hasenfratz, CEO, Linamar and lead applicant for the Advanced Manufacturing Supercluster “The world has a growing appetite for crop protein. That’s a huge new opportunity for Canada but also a challenge. The Innovation Supercluster Initiative will help farmers, feed and food processors meet that challenge and provide high quality plant proteins for the global market.” – Frank Hart, Chair of the Board for the Protein Industries Supercluster “Canada’s Digital Technology Supercluster represents over 200 member organizations, including large, medium and small enterprises as well as not-for-profit entities and post-secondary institutions. Leveraging the capability of Canada’s world-leading broadband telecommunications networks, we will use advanced data collection, analytics and visualization in order to realize breakthroughs in sectors such as healthcare, natural resources and industrial applications. Our goal is to produce innovations that have tremendous local and global impacts.” - Josh Blair, Chief Corporate Officer, Executive Vice President TELUS, founding member of Canada's Digital Technology Supercluster Quick Facts * Superclusters are dense areas of business activity where many of the middle-class jobs of today and tomorrow are created. They attract large and small companies that collaborate with universities, colleges and not-for-profit organizations to turn ideas into solutions that can be brought to market. * Together the superclusters represent more than 450 businesses, 60 post-secondary institutions and 180 other participants in sectors covering 78 percent of Canada’s economy. * Having the strong representation of women and under-represented groups in these superclusters is a top priority. The superclusters will endeavour to increase the representation of women and under-represented groups in their activity and leadership, helping them succeed in skilled jobs in highly innovative industries.

[ADR-RLO-Others] SciVal demonstration - Oct 23 10:30-12:00
by Jackie Cooney-Birch 05 Oct '17

Dear Associate Deans (Research)/Research Liaison Officers: You are invited to attend a demonstration of SciVal on Monday, October 23rd from 10:30-12:00 in the Borger Boardroom (E1-270 EITC). SciVal is a web-based research metrics tool drawing on the Scopus publication database to provide quick and easy access to data on the research performance of individual researchers, research groups and institutions. SciVal has been used at the University to provide metrics to support several major institutional grant proposals, including submissions to the Canada Research Chairs, Canada Excellence Research Chairs and Networks of Centres of Excellence programs. The Office of Research Services has offered SciVal demonstrations and training sessions to Units across the University since our initial subscription in 2015 with the intention that it become widely used by administrators and the research community. As you may know, I have previously been the primary Office of Research Services contact for SciVal analyses and support; however, I will be away on maternity leave as of November 2017. Crista Gladstone, Projects Coordinator (Strategic Research Initiatives), will be the primary ORS contact for SciVal going forward from this time. Upon my return I will continue to be available to provide research metrics support for health-related proposals in my capacity as Research Grants Officer (CIHR). Please circulate this invitation to Department Heads; research and administrative staff who may be involved in utilizing the tool are also welcome to attend. Thank you, Jackie Cooney-Birch Jackie Cooney-Birch | Research Grants Officer (CIHR)| Office of Research Services, Bannatyne Campus | P309 Pathology Building | University of Manitoba | Winnipeg, MB R3E 0W3 | Tel: 204-480-1495 | Jackie.Cooney-Birch(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Jackie.Cooney-Birch@umanitoba.ca> | umanitoba.ca/research This email and any attachments may contain confidential, personal and/or privileged information intended for a specific individual and purpose.

[ADR-RLO-Others] attendance at future ADR/RLO meetings
by Lindsey Troschuk 07 Sep '17

07 Sep '17

The following email is sent on behalf of Dr. Digvir Jayas, Vice-President (Research and International) and Distinguished Professor: Dear All: In April of this year, a schedule of ADR/RLO meeting dates for 2017/2018 was distributed to ADR/RLOs, as well as to Research Grant Officers, Research Facilitators, and others. Following consultation and feedback with ADR/RLOs last term, I would like to try utilizing ADR/RLO meetings differently this year. Specifically, I would like to hold smaller meetings primarily with ADR/RLOs. I anticipate that as future agendas are assembled and finalized that it will be beneficial for Research Grant Officers, Research Facilitators, or others to also attend; please keep this year's schedule of meetings in your calendar. Therefore, unless indicated otherwise, this year's ADR/RLO meetings will consist of the VP (Research and International), the AVP (Research), the AVP (Partnerships), and the ADR/RLOs. If a meeting is dedicated to research in, say, one of the three Tri-agency areas, i.e., humanities and social sciences, natural sciences and engineering, or health sciences, then only a subset of the ADR/RLOs may wish to attend. Also, if a particular topic requires the presence of one or more research facilitators or other personnel, we will invite them to that particular meeting, as needed. Thank you. Digvir S. Jayas, Ph.D., P.Eng., P.Ag., FAZRA, FASABE, FCSBE, FAIC, FCIFST, FEC, FEIC, FCAE, FRSC, FNAAS, FISAE, FNASc, IntPE (Canada), APEC Engineer, FGC (Hon) Vice-President (Research and International) and Distinguished Professor 207 Administration Building 66 Chancellors Circle University of Manitoba Winnipeg, MB, Canada R3T 2N2 Phone: 204-474-9404 (office) Phone: 204-254-0637 (home) Fax: 204-474-7568 Email: digvir.jayas(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:digvir.jayas@umanitoba.ca> Webpage: www.umanitoba.ca/research<http://www.umanitoba.ca/research> [MCO-00-153-UofM140thAnniversary-signature-F]<http://news.umanitoba.ca/category/u-of-ms-140th-anniversary/> Lindsey Troschuk Administrative Assistant to Gary Glavin, the Associate Vice-President (Research) and Jay Doering, the Associate Vice-President (Partnerships) Office of the Vice-President (Research and International) 207 Administration Building University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada R3T 2N2 Ph: 204-474-7952 Fax: 204-474-7568 Lindsey.Troschuk(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Lindsey.Troschuk@umanitoba.ca> www.umanitoba.ca/research<http://www.umanitoba.ca/research> This email and any attachments may contain confidential, personal and/or privileged information intended for a specific individual and purpose.
