Multifactor Authentication coming to the Canadian Common CV
To improve security, the granting councils will be implementing multifactor authentication in the Canadian Common CV (CCV) in March 2025. Multifactor authentication uses two methods to verify the identity of a user before they are given access to the CCV.
The multifactor authentication process will be triggered when a user signs in to the CCV. To access the application, users will be required to enter a code that is sent to the email address connected to their CCV account profile. Should their session be timed out after 30 minutes of inactivity, users will need to re-authenticate themselves.
It is important that everyone with a CCV account double-checks that they have access to the email address connected to their account profile before March 2025. This will ensure a smooth sign-in process and minimize the need for assistance from the Contact Centre.
Research and Scholarship Days - Adjudicator's Needed for Poster Event
Are you wanting to get involved in Research and Scholarship Days? One way to participate is to volunteer as an adjudicator at the Main Street Poster Event happening from Tuesday, April 1 - Wednesday, April 2.
Please sign-up through this form to pick the days and time you're available. If you can't volunteer, please share this with your colleagues. Research and Scholarship Days can't happen without volunteers like you.
If you have any questions about adjudicating, please email researchdays@mtroyal.ca.
Research and Scholarship Days - Student Volunteering
Consider sharing with your students how to participate in Research and Scholarship Days, even if they aren't presenting research. Volunteers are needed to help organize and run the events happening throughout the week. Students wishing to volunteer can sign-up through this form.
Volunteer tasks include sign up support for presenters, poster set up and take down, assisting adjudicators with iPad set up, and assisting with faculty specific events.
Funding through the Alberta Innovates Summer Research Studentship (SRS) Program - Now accepting Faculty Supervisor Applications

January 25: SSHRC Connection Grants
These grants provide support for workshops, colloquiums, conferences, forums, summer institutes, or other events or outreach activities geared toward short-term, targeted knowledge mobilization initiatives. These events and activities represent opportunities to exchange knowledge and to engage on research issues of value to those participating. Events and outreach activities funded by a Connection Grant may often serve as a first step toward more comprehensive and longer-term projects.
Amount / Duration: $7,000 - $25,000 (events); $7,000 - $50,000 (outreach); up to 1 year
Contact: 1-613-943-1007; connection@sshrc-crsh.gc.ca
January 27: SSHRC Insight Development Grants
Insight Development Grants (IDG) support research in its initial stages. The grants enable the development of new research questions, as well as experimentation with new methods, theoretical approaches and/or ideas. Proposed projects can involve, but are not limited to, case studies, pilot initiatives, or critical analyses of existing research. Funding is available for two distinct categories of scholars: Emerging scholars who will develop new research questions and/or approaches; Established scholars who will explore new research questions and/or approaches that are distinct from the applicant’s previous/ongoing research.
Amount / Duration: $7,000 - $75,000
Contact: 1-613-943-1007; connection@sshrc-crsh.gc.ca
February 13: SSHRC Research on Research Joint Initiative
Research on research, also known as metaresearch, is the application of applying rigorous research methods and analysis to the practice of research itself. This joint initiative is operated by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, and Michael Smith Health Research BC. The goal of the joint initiative is to strengthen capacity for metaresearch in Canada and bring Canadian perspectives on research to the international stage. Topics that are found in metaresearch generally and that will be funded by this initiative include but are not limited to: researching talent and professional development in a research context, researching how research funding is allocated, research integrity, researching research infrastructure, improving research dissemination output, understanding research impact, and understanding the impacts of AI on the research ecosystem.
Amount/duration: up to $200,000; 3 years
Contact: partnerships@sshrc-crsh.gc.ca
March 7: 2025 WCB-Alberta Research Grants Competition - LOI
WCB-Alberta promotes the development of effective disability management services and strategies, optimal approaches to recovery and return to work following workplace injury, and improved understanding of the factors involved in workplace injury. In order to inform better practice, WCB-Alberta provides financial support for research projects that address certain areas of interest.
