Competition

Interested in partnering with MEOPAR?

MEOPAR has launched the Call for Partnerships specifically for organization-to-organization collaborations whereby MEOPAR is seeking partnership and matching funds to target key priorities ranging from 1) advancing reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples in Canada, 2) promoting equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility, 3) expediting strategic areas of emerging ocean research, and 4) responding to and aligning with important Government of Canada research priorities.

The Call for Partnerships is currently open for applications with a rolling deadline.

Please refer to the Call for Partnerships documents for more information: https://meopar.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/CFPartnerships_EN.pdf

In addition to the external funding agency’s submission procedures, this opportunity must also be submitted for Departmental, HSS Faculty, and Research Initiatives and Services (RIS) institutional reviews and approvals via Memorial's Researcher Portal (RP). In order to facilitate the HSS Faculty’s administrative review, please ensure "Heather C. O'Brien (Grants Facilitator)" and “Matthew Milner (Grants Facilitator)” are added as "Team Members" on your RP file. Allow at least 10 business days for these reviews to be completed.

In accordance with University-wide approval protocols, all tabs of the RP file must be completed, the completed application must be uploaded to the “Attachments” tab, all supporting documentation including support for cash and in-kind commitments and/or letters of support must also be uploaded, and “Submit” must be pressed in order for HSS to begin its administrative review and provide approvals. HSS cannot guarantee timely completion of an administrative review for application files that are incomplete. For more detailed submission instructions and information, please consult the HSS Research Support Services website.

If you plan to apply to this competition or other research funding opportunities (as either PI or CI), e-mail an HSS Grants Facilitator, Heather C. O’Brien (HSSResearchAdmin@mun.ca or 864-8603) or Matthew Milner (HSSResearchGrants@mun.ca or 864-8050), to notify the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of your intent to apply. E-mailing the intent to apply as early as possible will help to facilitate an efficient review. A Grants Facilitator can answer any questions you may have about internal or external submission procedures and may also be able to help with proposal development.
