Description
MEOPAR (Marine Environmental Observation, Prediction and Response Network) is a Canadian not-for-profit organization that supports research, training, and communication related to the ocean through funding programs. The goal of the Early Career Researcher (ECR) Awards is to provide individual research grants to support early career investigators in establishing independent research programs. The research project must align with MEOPAR’s Science Strategy 2025-2030 and must have a clear impact for communities, environment, science, etc. The ECR Awards are a unique opportunity for early career researchers to contribute to and participate in MEOPAR’s broad interdisciplinary, multi-sectoral research effort, thereby growing and extending their network of collaborators and partner interactions. MEOPAR recognizes the need for support of early career researchers (researcher within ten years of receiving their highest academic diploma and within five years of the date of their first independent research-related appointment) to maximize their considerable potential.
