On Tuesday, March 5, 2024, award-winning Queen’s researchers gathered at the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts to celebrate the achievements of their peers at Applause: A Celebration of Research Excellence.

Hosted by the Vice-Principal Research Portfolio, the event recognized the accomplishments of 80 scholars who, from 2021 to 2023, were the recipients of 99 national and international prizes and awards for their research and scholarship.

In 2022, the Canada Research Chairs Program (CRCP) launched the Robbins-Ollivier Award for Excellence in Equity, which recognizes the contributions of many influential Canadian scholars, including Queen’s University Professor Emerita Audrey Kobayashi, to advancing equity within the CRCP and Canada’s research ecosystem more broadly.

From Queen's Health Sciences and Affiliated Teaching Hospital Research Ethics Board (HSREB) and General Research Ethics Board (GREB):

Researchers are advised to use the Research Data Storage Finder (RDSF) to determine the most appropriate storage option for their research data.

Previously, Microsoft OneDrive was promoted as a default research data storage solution; however, new storage limitations on OneDrive at Queen’s make it an unsuitable option depending on storage requirements.

The Killam NRC Paul Corkum Fellowship creates opportunities for mid- to late-career (from 15 years from PhD and beyond, though those at earlier stages may be considered in some cases) Canadian and international scholars to collaborate with NRC researchers.

Queen’s University is taking part in a pilot program within the Matariki Network of Universities – Partnering for a better world (MNU). The MNU Summer Research Fellowship provides an experiential learning opportunity for highly motivated undergraduate students to travel and conduct research at an MNU partner institution.

The Vice-Principal Research Portfolio is calling for Expressions of Interest (EOI) for the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Fellowship, a central tool in the Foundation's 2025–2028 mission to support academic excellence, societal engagement, and increased intellectual outreach. The award is a public recognition of the fellows' outstanding academic achievements and a promise of future transformative contributions.

The Vice-Principal Research Portfolio is calling for Expressions of Interest (EOI) for the NSERC Arthur B. McDonald Fellowship, which recognizes early-stage academic researchers in the natural sciences and engineering and supports researchers to enhance their research capacity, so that they can become leaders in their field and inspire others. NSERC awards up to six McDonald Fellowships each year and Queen's can certify up to six nominees.
