Description:

The New International Research Networks award is supported by the office of the Vice-President (Research) and aims to promote new collaborations between researchers from Western and their international colleagues. As the rate of growth of human knowledge continues to increase, we have reached an era of necessary hyper-specialization in which international collaboration is an increasingly fundamental enabler of world-class research. Creating opportunities for researchers at Western to interact with colleagues from around the world is of critical importance to our research mission.

These funds are intended to address the logistical costs incurred during the initial process of setting up a collaborative research project such as travel, communications costs, and/or small-scale exploratory research. Please review the program guidelines for full details.

Application Details: The Western-based applicant must be any full-time research eligible faculty. The international co-applicant must hold academic or industrial research position that is not located in Canada. This award is not intended to fund already established collaborations. The applicant and co-applicant must not have an existing, established research relationship.The completed application form, including an approved ROLA proposal, must be received by RDS at internalgrants@uwo.ca. There are no deadlines and submissions will be accepted on a continuous basis.
