Idea to Innovation (I2I) Program

Romana — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 20:55:01 -0400

The program provides funding to college and university faculty members, through defined stages, for research and development activities leading to technology transfer to a new or established Canadian company.

These phases are limited in time. In the first phase, the direct costs of research will be entirely supported by NSERC; in the second phase, they will be shared with a private partner. The technology development may begin with a Phase I (Reduction-to-Practice Stage – i.e., demonstrating that the innovation is sufficiently tested and will work for its intended purpose) project followed by a Phase II (Technology Enhancement) project or, if the development is at a later stage, it can start directly with a Phase II project. In any case, a maximum of three years’ funding will be available for any given project.

The first award will be made during fellowship (generally the final year); during Year One of BWF/ASTMH support, the fellow should commit at least 80% of his/her effort to research and spend at least three months working in a tropical or developing area. The second half of the award will be made once the grantee has entered a stable, entry-level faculty position; Year Two of the BWF/ASTMH fellowship carries the same expectations as Year One, i.e. 80% research effort and at least three months’ work in a tropical or developing area.

Financial assistance at this crucial point, even in modest amounts, often pays handsome dividends later to society. Selection procedures for the Sloan Research Fellowships are designed to identify those who show the most outstanding promise of making fundamental contributions to new knowledge. Sloan Research Fellows, once chosen, are free to pursue whatever lines of inquiry are of the most compelling interest to them. Their Sloan funds can be applied to a wide variety of uses for which other more restricted funds such as research project grants cannot usually be employed. Former Fellows report that this flexibility often gives the Fellowships a value well beyond their dollar amounts.

Training Grant: Genetic Epidemiology

Romana — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 00:31:01 -0500

The purpose of the training grant in genetic epidemiology is to build research capacity in genetic epidemiology by training a community of scientist skilled to bridge laboratory-based research and population-based research. The overall goal is to improve our ability to prevent and manage chronic diseases through genetic epidemiologic research. This will be achieved by better understanding of underlying disease mechanisms and in some instances, by better risk-profiling tools based on genetic epidemiologic research. This initiative will support the training program of researchers in settings that foster cross-disciplinary and collaborative "hands-on" teamwork within a structured learning environment. In many cases, trainees will work and study in areas complementary to their primary background. Joint supervision by mentors from different disciplines is encouraged. The focus of the program is to train researchers to have the analytical expertise to design and conduct studies that will allow them to i) identify and characterize genetic determinants for chronic diseases, ii) measure the public health impact of knowing these genetic determinants; iii) develop the analytic tools necessary to achieve these goals and iv) integrate the use of genetic determinants into studies of the molecular basis of chronic diseases.
