OTHER FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
You may also find the Community of Science Granting Agency Database (COS) useful in searching for other funding opportunities. (Search by key word)
A few pointers on how to use the Community of Science Granting Agency Database:
1) Use quotation marks for terms that contain more than one word.
2) Hits are organized from most to least relevant according to your search term(s).
3) On the pages listing search results, place your cursor over the name of the grant to see a pop-up containing a description of the grant and the URL.
4) The Advanced Search option (available from the main search page) is also easy to use. A benefit is that you identify country of residence which is used to filter hits. Alternatively, you can just make "Canada" one of your search terms.
