Oceans, Fisheries and Aquaculture
Deadlines
Academic Unit: Inquire within unit
Memorial Deadline: Tuesday 20th, December 2022
External Deadline: Sunday 8th, January 2023
Description
Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) provides funding to build expertise in ocean and freshwater science and technology in areas that support the mission of the Department to increase our understanding of ocean and freshwater environments. Through this, we seek to better protect, sustain and restore fisheries resources as well as the aquatic ecosystems that support them.
The Department is seeking projects that deliver scientific research and related scientific activities that support evidence-based decision making and public understanding about the health of marine and freshwater ecosystems. Related scientific activities complement and extend scientific research by contributing to the generation, dissemination and application of scientific and technological knowledge. Examples of this include:
- data collection and integration
- ocean and freshwater monitoring
- data analyses
- modelling and hypothesis testing
- scientific capacity building (Indigenous recipients only)
- communication of science in support of ocean literacy
Please see the priority areas of research and related scientific activities for details regarding the priorities for which Fisheries and Oceans Canada is currently seeking the submission of project proposals.
Canada is a proud supporter of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030). Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Canadian ocean science community are building a strong contribution to the Ocean Decade. Projects funded through the Ecosystems and Oceans Science Contribution Framework can contribute to the Ocean Decade outcomes.
Timelines:
The project proposal submission period for the below priority areas is open and accepting applications until January 8, 2023 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time (EST).
