Due to unforeseen circumstances, this session has been cancelled.
Queen's Faculty are invited to an informal presentation by researchers with project ideas or research expertise fitting the current NFRF International call (elevator pitch style) followed by collaborative and open discussion to further develop potential proposals and teams.
Several teams are developing teams and projects for submission to this call. The goal of the session will be to strengthen potential projects and identify researchers willing to contribute to or collaborate on a project.
Love Data Week
Start Date
Monday February 13, 2023
End Date
Friday February 17, 2023
Time
12:00 am - 5:00 pm
Location
Join the Vice-Principal Research portfolio in celebrating Love Data Week from February 13 - 17, 2023.
Love Data Week is an international celebration of data, taking place every year during the week of Valentine's day.
Everyone is encouraged to participate in events and activities hosted online from around the world. Some suggested local, national, and international events are listed below:
Monday, February 13
Learn With Borealis: APIs (1-2 PM)
Join Meghan Goodchild (Research Data Management Librarian at Queen’s and Scholars Portal) and Zack Taylor (Western University) for an intro to Borealis APIs, an overview of resources, hands-on demonstration using tools, and research use cases. Register for the Borealis APIs session
Digital Research Alliance of Canada’s Humanities and Social Science Winter Series
A national series of workshops focused on digital research needs within the humanities and social sciences (HSS) community, including machine learning, OpenRefine, Programming in R, and more. Series details and registration
For the 13th year, Science Rendezvous Kingston will take over the Leon’s Centre and The Tragically Hip Way. Join us Saturday, May 13, 2023, from 10 am - 3 pm as we turn them into the largest pop-up science Discovery Centre in Canada!
This year's theme is CREATE. This theme will showcase how discoveries are made and new knowledge is constructed by scientists in labs, forests, space, underground, in hospitals, and remote stations.
The return to an entirely in-person event will be responsive to public health measures should new protocols arise.
The day will feature many of the special touches that have led to national awards in the past, such as a take-home program book filled with STEM activities to do at home, swag bags and unique displays.
Join creative arts research community members from Queen’s University and Emily Carr University, to discuss funding opportunities at SSHRC, brainstorm ideas, and share creative energy.
Of note, Chelsea Fahey, our special guest from SSHRC, will share experiences on research creation and funding opportunities. Ms. Fahey has been with SSHRC since 2019 and is the Program Officer responsible for the Insight Grant and Insight Development Grant Fine Arts and Research-Creation committee. Chelsea has a background in communication, media, museum studies and improvisation.
Advance questions for Ms. Fahey are welcome and may be sent to Rebecca Pero at pero.rebecca@queensu.ca.
At Queen's, we actively promote the success of our researchers by helping them attract competitive awards. This winter the Vice-Principal Research Portfolio is seeking candidates for three groups of awards.
Engaging Co-Production to Address Maladaptation in Climate Change Research
Date
Thursday January 26, 2023 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
Location
** CHANGED TO VIRTUAL-ONLY ***
The Vice-Principal Research Portfolio invites you to join us for an R4R@Q on Maladaptation and Co-production with a presentation by Dr. Marcus Taylor.
Maladaptation and Co-production: Big terms, but what do they mean for grant applications?
Granting agencies have increasingly focused on funding climate change research projects that address ‘maladaptation’ by using methodologies focused on the ‘co-production’ of knowledge. Dr. Marcus Taylor talks through what the concept of maladaptation entails, how it was integrated into the IPCC’s new approach to climate change policy, and provides examples from his work in rural India. Conversely, granting agencies increasingly emphasise that the co-production of knowledge with impacted communities is a potential solution to maladaptation. Overviewing different co-production approaches, Dr. Taylor cautions that there are sharp debates over what co-production means in both theory and practice and suggests some potential pathways forward.
RDM Information Series 2: Session 3 - Depositing Your Research Data in a Repository
Date
Wednesday March 22, 2023 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Location
Virtual - Microsoft Teams
The Vice-Principal Research Portfolio invites you to the third session of the RDM Brown Bag Information Series, where you will learn about the benefits and considerations around depositing your research data into a repository.
Featuring special guest presenter Dr. Robert Montgomerie, Professor Emeritus of Biology and Data Editor for The American Naturalist.
Topics will include:
• Information about the data deposit requirement of the Tri-Agency RDM policy
• Considerations for selecting a repository for your specific research data
• Demo of depositing a dataset into the Queen’s Dataverse Collection of Borealis, the Canadian Dataverse Repository.
• Disciplinary perspective of reviewing data for a biology journal

The Queen’s Data Champions (qDC) is one of eighteen groups across Canada to receive funding from the Digital Research Alliance of Canada as part of the Data Champions Pilot Project. The project aims to encourage a shift in research data culture by promoting sound research data management (RDM) practices. The qDC includes five experts from across the university, working together to create and develop RDM learning resources for the Queen’s research community.
The qDC includes:
Alicia Cappello, Engineering & Science Librarian, Queen’s University Library;
Elise Degen, Communications & Relations, Centre for Advanced Computing;
Matt Clapp, Manager of Data Platform Services, Information Technology Services;
Meghan Goodchild, Research Data Management Librarian, Queen’s University Library / Scholars Portal;
Rebecca Pero, Information & Project Coordinator, Vice-Principal Research Portfolio.
The Vice-Principal Research Portfolio invites you to the second session of the RDM Brown Bag Information Series, the Queen’s Data Champions (qDC) will provide you with all the tools and knowledge you will need to create and maintain a data management plan (DMP).
You will learn about the importance of data management planning, what questions to ask when creating a DMP, and what resources are available to you to responsibly manage and document your data throughout the life of your project. You will also be introduced to the DMP Assistant, a free, online tool available to Canadian researchers, and various DMP templates and exemplars available from the Digital Research Alliance of Canada.

The Queen’s Data Champions (qDC) hosted the first session of our RDM Brown Bag Information Series to learn about research data management, including what it is, why it is important, and how it might impact you. You will also learn about the three pillars of the Tri-Agency RDM Policy and how the second and third pillars (data management plans and data deposits, respectively) may impact your grant applications and/or research projects in 2023. The qDC will also introduce you to the Queen’s University Institutional RDM Strategy and how you can provide feedback on the strategy.
