Funding Opportunities: Focusing on Global Strategic Priorities
A key part of SFU’s Strategic Research Plan for 2016-2020 is to expand the university's global impact by leveraging its international presence and interdisciplinary research strengths. Aligning with this global theme, the Tri-Agencies have also established global strategic funding priorities in 2016-2020 to position Canada as a global leader in health (CIHR Framework for International Relations and Cooperation), science and technology (NSERC 2020), and social science and humanities (SSHRC’s Strategic Plan for 2016-2020).
SFU's established international presence and world-class research infrastructure can help you respond to these funding priorities. There are some incredible resources available at SFU:
Please contact ors@sfu.ca if you are interested in leveraging these resources, and we can assist you with connecting to the right people.
