Call for Applications 鈥� CARE Research Funding
November 20th, 2025
The Office of Academic Development invites Dawson faculty and staff to apply for funding through the Collegial Applied Research Ecosystem (CARE). This funding is made possible through an external multi-year NSERC CCI Mobilize grant awarded to Dawson. It does not draw on the College鈥檚 operating budget and was established to build an ecosystem that connects and supports researchers, students, and partners to co-create applied research addressing real-world challenges, fostering innovation, and providing equitable training opportunities.
Two opportunities are currently open: the CARE Collaborative Impact Grant, which funds applied research projects with community, industry, or public-sector partners, and the CARE Internship Initiative, which supports student research internships under faculty supervision.
Learn more or express your interest by emailing care@dawsoncollege.qc.ca.
