Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability welcome competitive proposals for joint collaborative research or workshops that are relevant to informing environmental policy and have achievable one-year impact goals.

Now in the eleventh year of our collaboration, Cornell Atkinson and EDF are partnering to accelerate problem-solving research relevant to national and international environmental policy discussions. Research teams should include researchers from both Cornell University and EDF and a clear collaboration plan. Work can be basic or applied but should always have a clear pathway to impact and an emphasis on actionable results.

Priority Themes

During this grant funding cycle, we welcome research focused on overlapping priorities currently being articulated in EDF’s Vision 2030 and Cornell Atkinson’s priority research areas . Both organizations prioritize research that incorporates environmental justice and equity considerations.

• Stabilize the Climate: Focusing on methane, clean energy, transportation fuels, and feedstocks to benefit people and our planet.
• Healthy Communities: Clean air and water, plus safer food and products help all people thrive.
• People and Nature: Agriculture, water and food, forests, plus fisheries and oceans all deliver food, water, climate benefits, and a healthy planet so people and nature can thrive in a changing climate.

Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability:

• Increasing Food Security
• Reducing Climate Risk
• Accelerating Energy Transitions
• Advancing One Health

Cornell Atkinson and EDF expect to award up to four project grants ($50,000 to $100,000 each). The funding goes to the Cornell researcher, but EDF scientists or economists work collaboratively to define and guide the topic and implement research results.

Guidelines for Letter of Intent (LOI) Submissions

Letters of intent are recommended from one of the co-principal investigators in advance of submitting a proposal. LOI reviews are intended to result in stronger proposals rather than to exclude any projects from advancing to the proposal stage.

Indo-German Funding Opportunity for Joint Research Projects in the field of Social Science Research

In pursuance of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR) and the German Research Foundation (DFG -- Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft), Germany the two agencies invite proposals for joint Indo-German academic research projects in the field of Social Sciences and Humanities. The collaboration opportunity will be open throughout the year with no deadline.

The agencies are particularly interested in proposals submitted by teams of principal investigators with some initial cooperation experience.

The importance of the mutual benefit to be derived from bilateral collaboration and with the desire to strengthen the research cooperation on the basis of equality between the researchers and academics from the universities and the research institutions in both the countries in the field of Social Sciences and Humanities.

The objective of this programme is to promote and strengthen the research cooperation in the field of Social Sciences and Humanities between the two countries, by providing funding to allow joint research activities for internationally excellent research in relevant areas of mutual interest and benefit. This is a co-funding mechanism for the support of joint research projects between ICSSR and DFG.

The mechanism is based on the following programs:

ICSSR: Programme for International Collaboration

DFG, German Research Foundation - Individual Research Grants (Sachbeihilfe)

ELIGIBILITY

Applicants must be permanently employed in a research or academic position in a recognized research or academic institution – either publicly funded university/college, deemed universities recognized by the UGC or a publicly funded research institute or ICSSR research institutes/recognized institutes. They must also hold a PhD or equivalent qualification and have an interest in high quality research which may be evident by past studies, publications and academic background.

Funding for the Indian side of up to a maximum INR25 lakhs per proposal is available from ICSSR. The ICSSR funding for the initiative comes from its programme on international collaboration. The duration of the project should be two-to- three years.

It is expected that the DFG funding will be used to support the German component of the partnership and that ICSSR funding will support the Indian component.

The German based lead partner and an India-based lead partner should be identified, each of whom will lead on the joint writing of the proposal and its submission in their respective countries.

PROPOSAL PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION

Research proposals must be submitted in accordance with the proposal preparation requirements of the corresponding agency. The eligibility to submit a proposal follows the guidelines of the respective ICSSR and DFG programs. ICSSR and DFG will use their national proposal formats. German researchers will use the DFG’s electronic submission system "elan" ( https://elan.dfg.de/) for the submission of the German copy of the proposal. The programme will be open throughout the year and submission will be possible at any time after the announcement. The Indian and the German version of a joint proposal must be identical in its scientific substance (state of the art, aims, work programme etc.). Applicants agree to ICSSR´s and DFG’s rules for good scientific practice and scientific misconduct, respectively.

On the German side and the Indian side, researchers must obtain ethical clearance prior to submitting their proposals, if required.

REVIEW PROCESS AND FUNDING DECISION

The proposals will be evaluated separately by ICSSR and DFG on the basis of the projects’ scientific merit/quality, the justification for scientific collaboration and the qualifications as well as the compatibility of the participating team members.

The results of the review process will be shared between the agencies. Funding will be granted for only those proposals where both ICSSR and DFG recommend funding. Unilateral funding of only one part of a joint initiative will not be possible.

SSHRC asks its merit review committees to consider career interruptions and special circumstances that have affected candidates’ record of research. In doing so, merit review committee members will be able to assess the productivity of each researcher more accurately and equitably, independent of any career interruptions or special circumstances in the last six years. Previous productivity is one element that can predict the success of the proposed research project.

All information provided to SSHRC is subject to the  Privacy Act . The information included in this section of your application will be shared with both external assessors and merit review committee members for consideration as part of their assessment. Research office administrators will also have access to your application when submitting on behalf of the administering organization. For more information, see  merit review . All SSHRC merit reviewers are subject to the  tri-agency Conflict of Interest and Confidentiality policy , and are prohibited from sharing this information outside of the merit review process.

Career interruptions  occur when researchers are taken away from their research work for an extended period of time for health, administrative, family or other reasons, or reasons related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Special circumstances  involve slowdowns in research productivity or any circumstances that impact the progression of academic careers in a distinctive way. Researchers can use this section to indicate their research work was impacted by circumstances related to health (and/or disability), administrative, family, cultural or community responsibilities, socio-economic context, COVID-19, or other factors. For example, applicants from small institutions could indicate their teaching load in this section if the change in workload impacted their research output. Indigenous applicants can use the Special Circumstances section of their application form to describe special circumstances that may have had an impact on their academic or career paths.

Use this optional section to outline any career interruptions or special circumstances that have affected your research activities. Provide dates of interruptions and indicate the reason for the delay in general terms (e.g., illness, disability, family loss or illness, cultural or community responsibilities, socio-economic context, COVID-19).

SSHRC offers the following information for your awareness when considering how to describe your details of career interruptions and/or special circumstances:

• Applicants  do not need  to disclose any personal details of the career interruption or special circumstance.
• Applicants are asked to indicate how their research was impacted by delays to enable the reviewers to make an equitable assessment of the excellence of their research contributions while taking into account the impact of the interruption or special circumstances on their research production.
• Applicants are asked to quantify the impact on their research production as best they can, providing estimates of time or opportunities lost due to the interruption or special circumstances. For example, the amount of time and effort involved in seeking and receiving accommodations would be helpful to inform the committee’s assessment, by accounting for the impact of the special circumstances on the applicant’s research production.

In accordance with the Policy on Sensitive Technology Research and Affiliations of Concern , all researchers involved in activities funded by a grant that will aim to advance an STRA must review the list of named research organizations  (NROs) to ensure they are not affiliated with, or receiving funding or in-kind support from, any listed NRO.

You must submit attestation forms from the researchers with named roles in the application (as specified in the application instructions). By completing the attestation form, the researchers with named roles certify they have read, understand and are compliant with this policy. Should your application be successful, you and your research team(s) will also be required to comply with the policy for the duration of the grant that aims to advance one or more STRA s.

Completed attestation forms may be shared with Government of Canada departments and agencies, for the purposes of national security assessment and to validate compliance with the policy. For more information, read the tri-agency guidance for this policy.

Applicants must collect attestation forms from all researchers with named roles in the application, and save them as a single PDF file, which you can upload in the Supporting Documents section.

In collaboration with the European Union, 35  Funding Agencies from all over Europe and abroad are pleased to announce the Joint Transnational Call for research and innovation projects on “Water for Circular Economy”.

ROMANIA (UEFISCDI) DOES NOT PARTICPATE IN THE Water4All JTC 2024 on "Water for Circular Economy". Romanian partners can only join the consortium as self-funded partners!

The Joint Transnational Call (JTC) is launched in the framework of the European partnership Water4All and supports research and innovation projects to improve water security in the long term. In line with the strategic objectives of Water4All, the results should contribute to the implementation of evidence-based, global, EU and national water management policies and strategies, within the frameworks of the Green Deal, Water Framework Directive, Just Transition and the Water Action Agenda for UN Sustainable Development Goals. Proposals should show cognisance of appropriate legislation and policy frameworks at national and international levels while addressing policy actions and steering mechanisms needed to foster the paradigm shift to Circular Economy.

The context for the general call topics is described in Theme I of the Water4All Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) , “Water for Circular Economy: smart water value”. Likewise, Themes VI and VII in the SRIA on “International cooperation” and “Governance”, respectively, must be considered as they are cross-cutting issues to all other themes. Applicants are encouraged to check links in the SRIA between themes.

• JTC publication : 12 September 2024
• JTC submission deadline of preproposals : 13 November 2024, 15:00 CET
• Selection of pre-proposals : End of February 2025
• JTC submission deadline of full proposals : 29 April 2025, 15:00 CEST
• Selection of funded proposals : Early October 2025
• Projects start : End 2025 / beginning 2026

This joint transnational call will include an additional call modality aiming at Early Career Researchers holding a PhD since less than 10 years.

The details for this modality will be published in the Water4All 2024 Call Announcement document at the official launch of the Joint Transnational Call in September 2024 .

Applications will be submitted by the coordinator. Each consortium participant will be funded by the Funding Organisation from their country/region participating in the JTC 2024. Participants are therefore subject to eligibility criteria of national/regional funding organisations .

The following principles are provided for information purposes, only the detailed criteria published in the final call announcement are binding.

• Each consortium must be composed of a minimum of three eligible partners that request funding from participating Funding Partner Organisations from three different countries.
• In addition to the abovementioned condition, the projects must involve at least two independent legal entities from two different EU Member States or Horizon Europe associated countries as recipients of the financial support.
• The upper limit of eligible project partners per consortium is 7, including 1 self-funded partner (if applicable).
• No more than one self-funded project partner per consortium is allowed.
• The Consortium Coordinator must be eligible for funding by a Funding Partner Organisation of this call.
• Each application must be submitted by a Consortium Coordinator who must be eligible for funding by a Funding Partner Organisation of this call.
• The P rincipal Investigator of the entity acting as Consortium Coordinator can only participate in one proposal (i.e. if the principal investigator is the Consortium Coordinator of a proposal, he/she cannot participate in any other proposal, neither as a Consortium Coordinator nor as a partner).
• The compositition of the Consortium might be limited by national/regional regulations.

Applications will be submitted by the coordinator. Each consortium participant will be funded by the Funding Organisation from their country/region participating in the JTC 2024. Participants are therefore subject to  eligibility criteria of national/regional funding organisations .

Each consortium participant is funded by the Funding Organisation from its country/region participating in this joint transnational call. Participants are therefore subject to the eligibility criteria of national/regional funding organisations, in addition to the general eligibility criteria of the call.

The detailed lists of eligibility and evaluation criteria is published in the Water4All Call Announcement document . See Call Documents to Download

In September 2024, the Water4All and the DUT Partnerships under Horizon Europe have launched calls for research on topics that are complementary. Duplication of funding for the same proposal is not allowed, therefore the applicants must carefully choose the best fit for their proposals based on the scope of each call and their respective research priorities.

• For topics with a stronger water and circularity focus, applying to the Water4All 2024 Joint Transnational Call is recommended (Water4all Partnership)
• For proposals with a focus on urban planning and changes in urban water cycle paradigms, applying to the DUT Call 2024 is recommended (DUT Partnership)

Participating organisations

The Water4All Partnership - Water Security for the Planet - is a funding programme for scientific research in freshwater. It aims to tackle water challenges to face climate change, help to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and boost the EU’s competitiveness and growth.

It is co-funded by the European Union within the frame of the Horizon Europe programme (a key funding programme for research and innovation). The Partnership duration is for seven years from 2022.

The Water4All objective is to enable water security at a large scale and in the long term. Its goal is also to tackle water issues in a holistic frame. 

All forms of life on earth need water. All human activities operate with this resource. Water is part of our everyday life. It is also integrated within urban and countryside landscapes. It is one of the most valuable elements we share with plants and animals.

These simple facts must be kept in mind to understand the Water4All ambition.

This resource is weakened in many places due to climate changes, and human habits. We know that we can improve the way we use water. Everyone has a role to play and especially the scientific research community.

Scientific research is the heart of the Partnership as It is a powerful tool to improve knowledge on preserving, restoring, and managing this essential resource. 

International cooperation is also needed as water has no borders on Earth and runs from one country to another.

Water4All brings together a broad and cohesive group of 90 partners from 33 countries in the European Union and beyond. This consortium gathers partners from the whole water Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) chain.

The situation between Lebanon and Israel since October 8th, 2023 is intolerable and presents an unacceptable risk of a broader regional escalation. This is in nobody’s interest, neither of the people of Israel nor of the people of Lebanon.  

It is time to conclude a diplomatic settlement that enables civilians on both sides of the border to return to their homes in safety.

Diplomacy however cannot succeed amid an escalation of this conflict.  

Thus we call for an immediate 21 day ceasefire across the Lebanon-Israel border to provide space for diplomacy towards the conclusion of a diplomatic settlement consistent with UNSCR 1701, and the implementation of UNSCR 2735 regarding a ceasefire in Gaza

We call on all parties, including the Governments of Israel and Lebanon, to endorse the temporary ceasefire immediately consistent with UNSCR 1701 during this period, and to give a real chance to a diplomatic settlement.  

We are then prepared to fully support all diplomatic efforts to conclude an agreement between Lebanon and Israel within this period, building on efforts over the last months, that ends this crisis altogether.
