Core Funding Programs.
Research Professional Fund
The goal of the Research Professional Fund is to support the hiring of research professionals in progressive leadership roles within New Brunswick research teams while contributing to advancing knowledge and increasing research impact in a provincial priority sector.
Clinical Fellowships
The goal of Clinical Fellowships is to increase health research activity in New Brunswick to inform health system and/or population health outcome improvements. The funding provides clinicians with protected time to establish and conduct a research project with their research program in healthcare-related fields, such as medicine, nursing, pharmacy, physical therapy, or other clinical disciplines.
Public Health Research Fund.
Advancing Health Equity by Understanding Systemic Barriers in STBBI Prevention and Harm Reduction
The Department of Health (DoH), in collaboration with ResearchNB, is opening a competition (independently peer-reviewed) to provide funds for research to examine systemic, structural, and institutional factors that reinforce stigma and discrimination against people who use substances. The research will analyze how these factors differ across provincial populations, settings, and policy-making partners, and how they shape funding decisions, service availability, and the uptake of harm reduction and STBBI prevention supports.
Vaccination Uptake in New Brunswick
Available to New Brunswick-based researchers through a partnership with the Department of Health and ResearchNB. The Department of Health's (DoH) Public Health Research Fund, which is administered in partnership with ResearchNB, provides grants through open competitions for peer-reviewed research proposals from New Brunswick researchers in the areas of population-level health promotion, prevention, and health protection.
Challenges Program.
Dual-Use Technology Challenge
This Call for Proposals seeks to support research projects that explore technological advancement for dual civilian and defense usage. Projects must align with federal government dual-use technology priorities, which include quantum technologies, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, autonomous systems, and Arctic, space, and oceans research. Successful proposals will showcase collaborative partnerships that strengthen research outcomes and support the long-term success and scalability of the work.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Looking for more information?
I share a Research Professional with another researcher. Can we submit two separate projects under one application?
No, two separate applications need to be submitted in this case where the research professional’s involvement in both projects needs to be separately articulated.
Will ResearchNB accept applications for positions that are part-time?
Yes, however research professionals must spend a minimum of 50% of their part-time employment working directly on the research project.
