Population Health Intervention Research (Fall 2012 Competition)


The CIHR Institute of Population and Public Health is pleased to announce
the launch of the Operating Grant: Population Health Intervention Research
competition. This Initiative is being funded in partnership with the CIHR
Ethics Office and CIHR Institutes of Aboriginal Peoples' Health and
Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes, Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis,
Cancer Research, the Canadian Cancer Society, the Canadian Institute for
Health Information – Canadian Population Health Initiative, the New
Brunswick Health Research Foundation.

The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support the prompt
initiation of population health intervention research on rapidly unfolding
programs, policies and resource distribution approaches that have been
initiated by others (e.g., policy makers) and have the potential to impact
health and health equity at the population level. This funding opportunity
has a two-step application process: Phase 1 requires you to complete a
Letter of Intent (LOI) and Phase 2 requires you to complete an Application
upon invitation. More information about this competition can be found on
the CIHR website ( http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?TeCv-WTAD-kUMFF9 ) .

Subventions aux programmes dans le cadre du Fonds de recherche sur le
système de santé (FRSS) de l'Ontario
Cette occasion de financement marque un changement important dans la
manière dont le ministère de la Santé et des Soins de longue durée de
l'Ontario finance la recherche en santé. Le volet Subventions aux
programmes dans le cadre du FRSS est un programme d'octroi de subventions
stratégique, concurrentiel et examiné par les pairs, qui soutiendra des
programmes de recherche ou de transfert et d'échange de connaissances
(TEC) qui sont pertinents pour les politiques. Le concours du volet
Subventions aux programmes dans le cadre du FRSS est l'un des trois
éléments du Fonds de recherche sur le système de santé plus large. Les
propositions présentées dans le cadre du volet Subventions aux programmes
dans le cadre du FRSS doivent inclure une analyse différenciée selon les
sexes, le cas échéant; la santé des femmes est d'ailleurs l'une de
priorités de financement dans le cadre du FRSS.
Pour plus d'informations, veuillez consulter le site web (
http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?TeCv-WTBF-kUMFF2 ) ou contactez l'équipe
de recherche.
Date limite pour les avis d'intention : 13 août 2012

Programme de subventions de fonctionnement ouvertes des IRSC
Dans le cadre du Programme ouvert de subventions de fonctionnement des
IRSC (POSF), des fonds de fonctionnement sont fournis pour le soutien des
demandes dans tous les domaines de la recherche en santé y compris les
projets comportant des essais contrôlés randomisés. Un essai contrôlé
randomisé (ECR) est une étude expérimentale dans laquelle les chercheurs
répartissent de manière aléatoire les sujets humains participant ou autres
champs d'étude (p. ex. classes, cliniques, terrains de jeux) en groupes
qui feront ou non l'objet d'une ou de plusieurs interventions et qui
seront comparés. Les résultats sont analysés en comparant les résultats
obtenus dans les groupes.

PhD Scholarships for Research in Papua New Guinea

Call for Applications for PhD Research Scholarships

Food Security in a Rapidly Urbanising Country:
The Goroka Fresh Food Market, Papua New Guinea
Funded by the Royal Society of New Zealand
Department of Anthropology, University of Auckland
CLOSING DATE
The closing date is 30 July 2012.
RESEARCH PROJECT
Applications are sought for two PhD scholarships, each for three years, to
run from 2012 to 2015. Successful applicants will carry out ethnographic
research in and around Goroka in the Eastern Highlands Province of Papua
New Guinea, under the supervision of Dr Mark Busse.
The research project, which is funded by the Royal Society of New
Zealand's Marsden Fund, addresses food security through an anthropological
study of the Goroka fresh food market. The goal of the research is to
understand the Goroka market as a set of complex social relations from the
perspectives of the diverse participants in it rather than through the
application of Western economic models. This will be achieved through
long-term anthropological research in the marketplace and surrounding
rural hinterland. Successful applicants will spend 15 to 18 months doing
research in Papua New Guinea. The research will involve both team research
and individual research projects which together will provide the basis for
individual and joint publications as well as for each student to write a
PhD thesis.
SCHOLARSHIP VALUE
Each scholarship includes:

1. a stipend of NZ$25,000 per year for three years,

2. student fees for three years (international students at the
domestic student rate), and

3. field expenses (including travel expenses).
SELECTION CRITERIA

CFP IUAES 2013

CFP IUAES 2013: Tourism and anthropological theory and practice (IUAES
Commission on the Anthropology of Tourism)

17th World Congress of the International Union of Anthropological and
Ethnological Sciences

Manchester (UK), 5-10 August 2013

Track G (General)

Panel G42: *Tourism and anthropological theory and practice*

http://www.nomadit.co.uk/iuaes/iuaes2013/panels.php5?PanelID=1734

*Panel organizer*: Noel B. Salazar (University of Leuven, Belgium):
noel.salazar@soc.kuleuven.be <mailto:noel.salazar@soc.kuleuven.be>

*Panel abstract*:

Fieldwork-based anthropology and long-haul tourism share remarkably
similar genealogies. Scholars have analysed in great detail the common
historical roots of anthropology and tourism in romanticism,
capitalist industrialization, colonialism and the like. This partially
explains why mainstream anthropology has, for a long time, despised
tourism, both as a social reality and as an object of study. Today,
anthropologists play active roles in tourism planning and development,
as guides, researchers, consultants, analysts or policy makers. The
origins of the anthropological study of tourism date back to the
1960s. In those fifty years, dedicated colleagues have produced a rich
set of analytical concepts and theories that have been widely
influential within the interdisciplinary field of tourism studies.
Within mainstream anthropology, however, tourism research still has
difficulty shedding its reputation as being merely applied scholarship
and tourism is rarely at the centre stage of the discipline. This
panel of the IUAES Commission on the Anthropology of Tourism aims at
changing this situation by presenting a set of thought-provoking
papers that reflect critically on the dynamic relationship between
tourism and mainstream anthropology. The participants address the
following questions: Which innovative concepts and theories developed
within the anthropology of tourism are relevant for the discipline at
large and can shed new lights on important disciplinary debates? How
can tourism and the anthropological study of it contribute to the
development of ethnographic methods and methodologies? How can the
anthropology of tourism play a leading role in advancing
anthropological theory and practice?

*Submission of abstracts*:

Please use the online application
(http://www.nomadit.co.uk/iuaes/iuaes2013/paperproposal.php5?PanelID=1734)
and
provide the following data: paper title, short abstract (max. 300
signs) and long abstract (max. 250 words), name, affiliation and full
contact details

Deadline: 29 July 2012

Gender, Work and Health Chair Program funding opportunity

Gender, Work and Health Chair Program funding opportunity

The total amount available for this funding opportunity is $7.2 million.

The Chair program will support a multidisciplinary group of leading
researchers to develop their programs of research in gender, work and
health, build capacity for research on work and health that accounts for
gender and sex, and foster the translation of that research into gender-
and sex-sensitive policies and interventions that improve workers' health.

Please visit the CIHR website to access the full funding opportunity:

http://www.researchnet-recherchenet.ca/rnr16/vwOpprtntyDtls.do?prog=1598&view=currentOpps&org=CIHR&type=AND&resul%20tCount=25&sort=program&all=1&masterList=true

This funding opportunity is intended to support leading researchers to
build their interdisciplinary programs of research on gender, work and
health, build capacity through training and mentorship and through the
effective translation of knowledge into gender- and sex-specific policies
and interventions that improve workers' health. The total amount available
for this funding opportunity is $7.2 million, enough to fund approximately
eight awards. Each award is valued at $800,000 over five years. This
initiative is launched in partnership with the CIHR Institute of
Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis, the CIHR Institute of Population and
Public Health, the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety and
