**Please click   HERE  to RSVP**

Everyone is welcome!

Background:

CIHR:  Since June 19, 2012, CIHR has required that applicants use the renewed CCV for all submissions. Given the challenges that have been experienced with the new system, CIHR continues to allow applicants to append their contribution details as attachment pages as was done previously. CIHR applicants are required, though, to update their CCV module for all other sections and are encouraged to include at least 5 contribution details to familiarize themselves with the system.

SSHRC:  Beginning with the 2013 Insight Development Grant competition, SSHRC is rolling out a new electronic grants management system and implementing the Canadian Common CV.  By 2014, all SSHRC competitions will use the Grants Management System and the CCV.   

    Date, time and location: TBD

Building Knowledge Mobilization & Knowledge Translation Plans

Queen’s, November 19th 1:30-3:30pm

Jeffery Hall room 234

Workshop Description

Knowledge Mobilization (KMb) and Knowledge Translation (KT) plans are increasingly required by

funding agencies . This hands‐on workshop provides three concrete approaches to building KMb

and KT plans that focus on leveraging existing mechanisms. Participants will be guided through the

process of creating their plan and will be provided with resources to support them in these

efforts. This session is suitable for faculty researchers, graduate students, and university staff

interested in learning more about how to build and implement a KMb or KT plan.

Creating a Competitive Edge: Essential Features of Successful Grants (Health focus)

Speaker: Anna van der Meulen, Major Projects Coordinator (Health Sciences)

Success rates at most granting agencies are on the decline; we want you to have a competitive advantage. Grant writing is your tool to access limited funding dollars.  Like any writing style, there are tips and strategies to distinguish yourself.  We’ll offer you a framework to assess whether your grants have the necessary ingredients for success.  This interactive session will review general grant writing tips that will be relevant for researchers applying to a range of health-related funding agencies.   **Note: participants are required to bring a one page summary of their research project/program to the event; Queen’s faculty and research staff actively involved in writing grant applications are welcome to attend**. Please RSVP by November 12th to   ors @ queensu . ca ; space is limited, so please register early .

COS-PIVOT for Researchers training, September 11th, 2012

Pivot enables researchers to discover the right funding opportunities and effectively collaborate with colleagues. Designed for faculty, staff researchers, and graduate students, Pivot combines the most comprehensive, editorially maintained databases of funding opportunities and scholar profiles available, linking scholars with funding and funding with scholars using powerful and intuitive tools.

The Pivot for Researchers training will show you how to:

  • Access Pivot from any internet-connected computer using your own account
  • Find timely and relevant funding opportunities
  • Find scholars and experts in a variety of disciplines within Queen’s or worldwide
  • Update information in your own scholar profile
  • Use the Pivot Advisor to identify funding opportunities that may be of interest to you based on the information in your scholar profile or to find potential collaborators for specific funding opportunities
  • Track funding opportunities, save searches, and set up email alerts
  • Share searches and funding opportunities with others and see opportunities and searches others have shared with you.
  • See what action others have taken on funding opportunities you have shared with them
  • Create and manage groups of people – both within Queen’s and worldwide – for sharing funding opportunities and searches
  • Connect with your Research Office and keep abreast of deadlines or other internal coordination requirements

Sharing Your Knowledge in the Social Sciences and Humanities: What You Need to Know to Write the Best Grant Application - Presentation (pdf)

Understanding Knowledge Translation in Health Research: Getting to the Outcomes - Presentation (pdf)

David Yetman is an international expert in knowledge mobilization, and research communications. He has considerable years of experience and expertise in helping social sciences and humanities (SSH) and health/medical researchers understand how to share their research to wider audiences to benefit society, or to achieve health outcomes. In fact, in 2009 David won the President’s Award for Exemplary Service at Memorial University of Newfoundland for the creation of www.yaffle.ca, a (re)search engine, and other innovative knowledge mobilization approaches. David frequently delivers workshops to Office of Research Services, and university researchers on the principles of knowledge mobilization (as relates to SSHRC guidelines) and knowledge transfer and exchange (as related to CIHR guidelines). He is also doing a part‐time PhD in the field of public engagement and knowledge mobilization. David’s company, ItSticks, consults regularly with researchers in Canada, giving them the capacity to tell their own research stories and prepare the best research grant applications. In a few months ItSticks will be launching Research for a Better World.com, an e‐training site for Canadian researchers.
