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. If you have any questions please contact me. Digvir S.

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.
