The goal of the stream is to inspire high-risk, high-reward and interdisciplinary research.  Exploration grants support research that pushes boundaries into exciting new areas. Researchers are encouraged to think “outside of the box,” undertake research that would defy current paradigms, and bring disciplines together in unexpected ways and from bold, innovative perspectives. With the Exploration stream, there is recognition that innovation often carries risk; proposals for high-risk research projects that have the potential to deliver game-changing impacts are strongly encouraged.

Exploration stream grants support projects that:

• bring disciplines together beyond traditional disciplinary or common interdisciplinary approaches;
• propose to explore something new, which might fail; and
• have the potential for significant impact.

Panellists:

2018 and 2022 NFRF Awardee and 2020 Multidisciplinary Panel Reviewer:

• (Assistant Professor Biological & Organic Chemistry) 

2021 NFRF Awardees:

• Dr. Jason Gallivan  (Assistant Professor Psychology, DBMS)
• (Assistant Professor, Rehabilitation Therapy)
• (Associate Professor, Computing)

Moderators:

• Dr. Aleksandra Bergier (Research Advisor, EDII)
• Adrian Kelly (Research Projects Advisor - Social Sciences and Humanities)
• Dora Baczyk (Research Projects Advisor - Life and Health Sciences)

This pre-call information session held on April 20, 2023 was for potential applicants to the 2024 NFRF-Transformation competition, which is expected to be launched this spring.

The objective of the New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF) Transformation stream is to support large-scale, Canadian-led interdisciplinary research projects that address a major challenge with the potential to realize real and lasting change. The challenge may be fundamental, leading to a scientific breakthrough, or applied, with a social, economic, environmental or health impact. Projects are expected to be world-leading, drawing on global research expertise, when relevant.
