The Vice-Principal Research Portfolio is hosting three Horizon Europe Information and Networking sessions. Please join Nancy Ross (Vice-Principal Research) and Karen Samis (Director, Grants and Research Operations) on one of the following dates:

• Friday, February 28
• Friday, March 14
• Friday, March 21

The information sessions will include brief overviews of Horizon Europe and Pillar II, as well as background information on Canada’s eligibility under Pillar II. Participants will have the opportunity to network with colleagues following the presentation and a catered lunch will be served.

Participants are encouraged to review the most recent draft versions of the in advance of the sessions and familiarize themselves with the proposed calls for each cluster.

While these events are open to everyone, they are targeted to faculty members with an established program of tri-agency funded research and an existing international network. Seating is limited.

Please complete the registration form if you plan to attend.

If you have any questions, please contact Bronwyn Jaques:  b.jaques@queensu.ca

The Vice-Principal Research portfolio will host researchers applying to the NSERC Collaborative Research & Training Experience (CREATE) program for a panel discussion and Q&A. The hybrid session will be led by Queen's awardees and cover the basics of the 2026 competition and internal selection processes. Panelists will also share insights on what is needed for a successful application and their experiences running a CREATE program.

In-person attendance is recommended. Please go to Richardson Hall's main entrance (74 University Avenue). Registrants will receive a calendar invite and Microsoft Teams link for virtual attendance.

If you have any questions, please contact Merline Fonkwe: merline.fonkwe@queensu.ca

Learn from a panel of past CIHR reviewers and Project Grant awardees as they share tips and strategies for writing strong Project Grant applications, as well as lessons learned from sitting on review committees. Feel free to bring your questions to this interactive Q&A session.

Sound research data management (RDM) practices are required by funding agencies worldwide. In Canada, following the launch in 2021, researchers are increasingly being asked to develop data management plans as part of grant applications and to deposit data that directly supports research conclusions into a repository.

However, the Tri-Agency policy acknowledges that research with and by Indigenous communities must be “managed in accordance with data management principles developed and approved by these communities”, which could result in exceptions to these requirements. These principles are similarly asserted in Extending the Rafters , the final report of the Queen’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission Task Force (2016). To reduce harm in this research context and ensure culturally appropriate and mutually beneficial research, researchers and research staff need to understand the use of wise RDM practices, in concept and implementation.

Presented by R4R@Q in partnership with First Nations Information Governance Centre, this panel session will explore key RDM considerations for research by and with Indigenous communities.
