RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
The Research Development Program (RDP) aims to provide a competitive edge to University of Ottawa researchers through direct, short term funding. RDP fundings enables researchers to conduct research which lays the groundwork for a new and competitive research grant application to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council or the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.
Deadlines: There are two competitions per year for this program January 15th and June 1st of each year
More detailsCONFERENCES / WORKSHOPS ON CAMPUS
The main objective of this program is to encourage and provide partial funding for conferences and/or workshops to be held on-campus at the University of Ottawa that will facilitate the transfer of research results within and across disciplines, among Canadian and International researchers.
This program is open to all disciplines.
Funding from external sources, with a strong preference for funding from peer-reviewed agencies, is required. Applications must identify from where such external funding is being sought or has been obtained. It is further expected that conferences will charge registration fees to help cover costs with a reduced fee for University of Ottawa students.
