Funding

The BCEOHRN offers three funding pages to provide members with access to as many funding opportunities as possible. These are organized as follows:

The Funding page lists available funding opportunities for research projects, workshops, and research development. The page can be sorted by agency, deadline, or type.
The BCEOHRN Funding page lists research capacity development grants, travel bursaries and networking facilitation funding offered by the BCEOHRN.
The Funding Databases page allows members to search diverse funding opportunities, which may include funding for research programs, operating grants, knowledge transfer and exchange activities, fellowships, and scholarships.

All three pages are updated regularly in order for environmental and occupational health researchers to learn about new funding opportunities as they are announced.

Agency	Deadline	Details	Type
AFMNet STAR/Commercialization Program
AFMNET		AFMNET	Program
The AFMNet STAR/Commercialization Program is a 1 year renewable grant for a maximum of $150,000 and is in place to: • Exploit intellectual property (IP) developed from foods and biomaterials research • Fund proof of principle research to lead to the development of a product or service • Develop Canadian technologies which are of benefit and relevance to the social and economic health of Canada • Lead to technology transfer and knowledge mobilization All projects are based on strong partnerships between Canadian University researchers and either private or public sector partners to create solutions for industry needs, develop IP into products or services, and advance the regulatory system to create quicker paths to market or enhanced value for products and services in Canada.
In-Year Research Funding Programme
AllerGen		AllerGen webpage	Program
Available funding will support strategically important commercialization and knowledge translation initiatives, especially those resulting from AllerGen-supported research in the Network's initial round of funding (2005-07); programmatic or network-level research partnership development; and capacity-building initiatives. Seed funding for strategically important research initiatives is also available. Current AllerGen Investigators have an opportunity to apply for in-year research funding. Proposals can be submitted at any time.
Institutional Program Unifying Population and Laboratory Based Sciences
BWF	February 15, 2012	BWF	Program
In 2008, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund launched an institutional award program for five-year institutional training awards providing $500,000 a year to bridge the gap between the population and computational sciences and the laboratory-based biological sciences. The award supports the training of researchers between existing concentrations of research strength in population approaches to human health and in basic biological sciences. The goal is to establish training programs by partnering researchers working in schools of medicine and schools (or academic divisions) of public health.
Small Initiative Fund
CBCF		CBCF	Fund
This program provides funding for small scale community initiatives in breast cancer and breast health education and awareness. Requests for up to $5,000 are accepted on an on-going basis. Applications for this program are accepted throughout the year.
Innovation Grants
CCS	February 15, 2012	CCS	Grant
Innovation grants have been created to support innovative, creative problem solving in cancer research. As competition for grant funding increases, peer review panels become more conservative and risk averse, emphasizing feasibility more than innovation. The goal of this new CCSRI grant program is to support unconventional concepts, approaches or methodologies to address problems in cancer research. Innovation projects will include elements of creativity, curiosity, investigation, exploration and opportunity. Successful projects may be based on “high risk” ideas, but will have the potential for “high reward” (i.e. to significantly impact our understanding of cancer and generate new approaches to combat the disease by introducing novel ideas into use or practice).
