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. 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>

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.
