Description
The Northern Contaminants Program (NCP) engages Northerners and scientists in research and monitoring of long-range contaminants in the Canadian Arctic, that is, contaminants that are transported to the Arctic through atmospheric and oceanic processes from other parts of the world and which remain in the Arctic environment and build up in the food chain.
The data generated by the NCP is used to assess ecosystem and human health, and the findings of these assessments are used to address the safety of traditional country foods that are important to the health and cultural practices of Northerners and northern communities, particularly Indigenous Peoples. The findings also inform policy, resulting in action to eliminate contaminants from long-range sources.
The NCP is committed to scientific excellence and northern engagement on the issue of long-range contaminants and plastic pollution in the Arctic.
Through this Call for Proposals, the NCP is seeking proposals for new activities in the following subprograms: Human Health; Environmental Monitoring and Research – Research projects; Community-Based Monitoring and Research; and Communications, Capacity and Outreach.
The deadline for proposal submissions is 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time, Friday, January 20, 2025.
