The primary objective of this workshop is to raise awareness about research security-related issues within the Canadian research ecosystem.

Horizon Europe provides funding for Canadian innovators, researchers, and SMEs to collaborate on global challenges.

Helping researchers understand the SSHRC adjudication process, Dr. Dan O’Donnell and Dr. Caroline Hodes will discuss their experience serving on merit review committees.

This workshop will examine the SSHRC Insight Grant application process, equipping participants with essential skills and strategies to maximize their chances of success.

In this session, researchers will learn about the various considerations involved in publishing their work. Librarians will provide an overview of Open Access (OA) publishing, including types of OA policies and resources for evaluating publishers and journals. The workshop will also cover costs, resources, guidelines, and tips highlighting the essentials of publishing your work, with a focus on OA publication – to meet grant requirements, boost your citations, promote your research, and more equitably share information. 

In the second part of our Research Data Management (RDM) series, librarians will introduce researchers to safe and secure methods of data depositing. This session will cover a number of repository options, and give a more in-depth introduction on how to use Borealis, the Canadian Dataverse Repository. Researchers will learn what “open data” means in the Canadian funding context and how to apply those principles to their data management plans. 

Join our librarians as they introduce researchers to the information, tools, and resources that will prepare them for the emerging RDM landscape in Canada. The release of the Tri-Agency RDM Policy places new demands on researchers around the planning and use of research data. Many funding agencies now require a data management plan as part of their grant application. Researchers will learn what a data management plan is, the considerations when creating one, and how to incorporate research data management in their grant applications. 

Please join the Office of Research and Innovation Services (ORIS) for our in-person research orientation for new faculty on Thursday, August 29, from 10 am – 4 p.m. in SA8003. The orientation will provide information regarding the processes for holding research funds at the University, as well as research-related topics such as ethics requirements and how to work with graduate students. While this session is designed to support new faculty members, it is open to anyone who would like to attend.

Tentative Agenda Overview: 

Staff from the NSERC Pacific and Prairies Regional Office will present a virtual session to provide an overview the NSERC Alliance grants program. Learn how Alliance grants support research in the natural sciences and engineering through collaborations that generate new knowledge and apply results for the benefit of Canadians. This workshop is for all interested faculty members (particularly ECRs), postdocs, and graduate students.

This session will focus on:

The Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) is a global initiative that recognizes the need to improve the ways in which researchers and the outputs of scholarly research are evaluated. Major Canadian funders such as NSERC, CIHR, SSHRC, CFI, and Genome Canada have signed DORA. So, what does this mean for the researcher? This session will introduce DORA, outline its recommendations, and discuss how it applies to researchers. Researchers will be introduced to ways of documenting both the qualitative and quantitative evidence of their research impact particularly in funding applications.
