WUN member university · Canada · North America
Research funding that staff at University of Alberta can tap into — through Canada's national research councils and foundations, and through the shared Worldwide Universities Network funding schemes.
“Open to apply now” covers rolling schemes (no fixed deadline — the funder accepts applications all year) and calls whose published deadline is still ahead. Closed (past-deadline) rows stay listed at the bottom for reference.
Shared call for WUN member universities (e.g. the Research Development Fund) — usually needs ≥3 member universities across ≥2 regions. Check the announcement for the current round.
International & collaborative: beyond national calls, many programmes accept international co-applicants from University of Alberta — browse calls across WUN member countries.
Eligibility varies by scheme — always verify the applicant rules on the official page before applying. National calls below are listed for the country of this university; many schemes are open to all eligible researchers at its institutions.
