During this two-part session, Queen's Research Projects Advisors Adrian Kelly and Diane Davies will introduce researchers to best practices for SSHRC Insight Development Grant applications and guide you through key application components using examples from successful applications. 

Participants may attend an individual session or both (a different registration is required for each session).

Questions? Please contact  adrian.kelly@queensu.ca or  diane.davies@queensu.ca.

The Vice-Principal Research Portfolio invites you to the third hybrid session of the RDM Brown Bag Information Series, you will learn about the benefits and considerations around depositing your research data into a repository. Topics will include how to select a repository for your specific research data, how to prepare your research data for deposit, and the various ways in which you can license your data for reuse. The Queen’s Data Champions (qDC) will also provide a demonstration of how to use and deposit data into the Queen’s Dataverse Collection of Borealis, the Canadian Dataverse Repository. You will also learn how the Tri-Agency RDM Policy may influence how you deposit and share research data associated with publications from Tri-Agency funded projects. 

Featuring special guest presenter Dr. Robert Montgomerie, Professor Emeritus of Biology and Data Editor for The American Naturalist.

Join Research Services and guests Dr. Stefanie von Hlatky, Dr. Stanka Fitneva, and Dr. Marc Dignam for a panel discussion and Q&A session on the Early Researcher Award program.

The Early Researcher Award (ERA) is a highly competitive grant program that helps exceptional early career researchers build their research teams. Applicants must demonstrate strategic value to Ontario (i.e., economic, social, cultural benefits, knowledge transfer, and/or ability to enhance Ontario’s profile in the global academic community).  ERA funds are to be used over a period of 5 years to fund eligible expenses for a research team of undergraduates, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, research assistants, associates, and technicians.

This session is for any Queen’s Researcher who is applying for an ERA or who is interested in learning more about the program requirements. Participants will receive tips for how to prepare a stellar application and to have the best chance to secure funding.

This session will involve:

• A brief overview of the ERA program, important internal deadlines and a list of Queen’s resources
• Previous ERA awardees and reviewers answering moderator questions
• An audience-led Q&A session

Research conducted with authentic partnerships and full community engagement with Indigenous people is urgently needed to address health inequities. Many researchers may not understand how to work with Indigenous communities and lack resources to guide them in conducting research that is equitable, inclusive and respectful of diverse Indigenous knowledge, ethics, practice and research sovereignty.

Indigenous Community Research Partnerships (ICRP)   is an online open education training resource.  It is designed to assist researchers who are new to research in partnerships with Inuit, Métis and First Nations (“Indigenous”) communities, or who are researchers-in-training, to:

• Operationalize required regulatory policy requirements and research directives;
• Ensure equitable inclusion of Indigenous and Western-oriented knowledge in research systems
• And, in the case of Indigenous-specific enquiry, to privilege or give primacy to Indigenous ways of knowing and doing.

In this session, the co-creators of the training resource, will talk about the collaborative development of the resource, its goals and the importance of a principled approach to research partnerships with Indigenous communities.
