Description
During the initial workshop of the Harris Centre’s Thriving Region’s Partnership Process, research priorities for the region are set through a facilitated discussion with stakeholders, partners, and interested citizens in the region from public, private, community and education sectors. These priorities are then used to open a call for Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from the university community’s researchers. A fund evaluation committee, comprised of local and academic members, reviews the EOIs and decides on three projects to move forward.

Fund Specifics
Researchers must be available to attend a workshop in 2023 somewhere in the Exploits Region.
This fund is open to any faculty, staff or students at Memorial; however, if the applicant does not have research privileges, a co-applicant or supervisor with such privileges must be identified.
Researchers from all disciplines are welcome to apply and we strongly encourage multidisciplinary and collaborative projects between faculty, staff, students and community partners.
An evaluation committee will choose the successful applicants after the call closes.
A workshop will be held in 2023 that will include local stakeholders and partners and the selected researchers. At this session, researchers, community members and local partners will work together to further develop their research idea and create a full proposal for the work to be undertaken. Researcher’s costs to attend this workshop will be covered by the Harris Centre.
Researchers will then submit more detailed research plans, and funding will be finalized and transferred once the plans are reviewed and approved by the evaluation committee.
This fund is NOW OPEN, and closes end of day, March 20th/2023
This is a flexible fund with a total of $45,000 available for one or more applied research projects focused on the regionally-identified Exploits priorities. We welcome both EOIs seeking smaller amounts of funding as well as larger projects for up to the full amount available (i.e., up to $45,000) from MUN faculty, students (including international students) and staff.
