Funding Opportunity

Students for Development

AUCC is launching a new call for applications for both multi-year projects and individual internships as part of the Students for Development program.

Call for multi-year projects:

As part of this new call, all AUCC member universities (including those with active 2011-2015 SFD projects) are invited to submit one multi-year project proposal to AUCC for the period of 2012-2015. Approximately 10 projects will be funded through this competition.

Call for 2012 individual Canadian student internships:

AUCC member universities that elect not to submit a multi-year project proposal (and do not already have an active 2011-2015 SFD project) may submit applications for up to three individual Canadian student internships for 2012.

Universities that are submitting a multi-year project proposal (or already have an active 2011-2015 project) may also submit an application for one individual Canadian student internship for 2012. The university may choose to request this funding for a student whose internship activities do not fall within the scope of the current or proposed SFD project.

India Mission

Dr. Karen Chad, Vice-President Research recently returned from a mission to India, where several University of Saskatchewan partner institutions were visited, and MOUs signed. The Dean of Agriculture and Bioresources, Mary Buhr, Government Relations Director, Peggy Schmeiser, and a few UofS researchers also made the journey.

The Government of Saskatchewan travelled at the same time on a multi-sector Provincial trade mission to India, which included Premier Brad Wall, Enterprise Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership, AgWest Bio, and Saskatchewan Pulse Growers.

The mission took the groups to New Delhi, Chandigarh, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, and Dhaka (Bangladesh).
