快播视频 will fund ground-breaking research through the Catalyzing Interdisciplinary Research Clusters (CIRC) program, which aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, global research excellence and world-class training opportunities. Now in its second year, the program supports critical research that can advance York\u2019s contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs the world continues to address urgent global challenges such as climate change, global health crises and political polarization, and their impact on people and the planet, it is critical now more than ever for York to support novel interdisciplinary research collaborations that drive innovative solutions to these grand challenges,\u201d says York President and Vice-Chancellor Rhonda Lenton<\/strong>. \u201c快播视频 is home to some of the brightest researchers in the world, and I am inspired by the talent, drive, and commitment of our researchers to making the world a better place. I offer you my congratulations in these exemplary research endeavours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYork is pleased to invest in interdisciplinary research clusters that will continue to amplify York\u2019s world class research excellence,\u201d says Vice-President Research & Innovation (VPRI) Amir Asif<\/strong>. \u201cThe CIRC program brings together talented researchers from across disciplines and faculties, supporting research that will help address complex global issues identified in the UN SDGs, and driving positive change in our local and global communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seven projects will receive $150,000 per year over three years:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, six other proposals that were highly ranked by external reviewers will each be awarded two-year funding of $100,000 per year for two years for a total of $200,000 each. These proposals include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n *Conditionally approved, subject to additional review.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe would like to acknowledge the members of the internal Adjudication Committee: Professors Rosemary Coombe<\/strong>, David Hood<\/strong>, Jane Heffernan<\/strong> and Dan Zhang<\/strong>, who have helped the Office of the VPRI support research excellence in ways that are equitable, diverse and inclusive,\u201d adds Asif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Catalyzing Interdisciplinary Research Clusters (CIRC) program funds research excellence for interdisciplinary projects, crossing the mandates of at least two of the three federal granting councils, with the core team of at least five researchers for each project including members from at least two faculties and at least one early career researcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Modelled to replicate the success of interdisciplinary research clusters, the initiative empowers clusters to achieve research excellence and secure large-scale funding through highly competitive national programs, such as the Canada Excellence Research Chair, the Canada First Research Excellence Fund and the New Frontiers in Research Fund \u2013 Transformation stream. The CIRC program will scale the development of research teams and clusters to position the University as a key node in national and international networks in strategic areas of interest, while enabling impactful contributions towards the University\u2019s Strategic Research Plan, the University Academic Plan and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All proposals received were subjected to expert external peer review, with final decisions informed by an internal adjudication committee comprised of senior York researchers with additional representatives from the Office of the VPRI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
