Description

CANSSI Ontario is piloting programs to support multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research opportunities. These include support for trainees, awards for junior faculty, and access to resources.

• CANSSI Ontario Postdoctoral Fellowship in Genome Data Science [1]: 
  • Open to early-career researchers. This fellowship supports work in genomics and data science, with a focus on new genomic technologies or multi-omic integration, offering up to $50,000 in salary support per year. Applications are due by January 20, 2025.
• CANSSI Ontario Postdoctoral Fellowship in Statistics [2]: 
  • Offering up to $70,000 per year plus benefits for two years. While the primary focus is on theoretical statistics, other statistical research areas will also be considered. Faculty project proposals are due by October 30, 2024, and postdoctoral fellow applications by January 17, 2025.
• Banting-CANSSI Discovery Awards in Biostatistics: 
  • These one-year grants, up to $30,000 each, support early-career biostatisticians in the first three years of their academic appointment. The grants are intended for those collaborating with scientists in biomedicine, occupational health, or environmental health. Four awards are available, with two specifically reserved for biostatisticians based in Ontario.
• Data Access Grants: 
  • Up to $5,000 to cover costs associated with accessing large data sources for data-intensive research. Each proposal must involve two faculty members from different academic units across CANSSI Ontario's twelve partner universities [4].
