Objective

To increase scientific knowledge that will contribute to the efforts toward the understanding, mitigation or elimination of health risks associated with human space exploration, and to generate scientific insights that will contribute to applications on Earth.

More specifically, through this AO, the CSA seeks to:

  • Create an opportunity for new space life science experiments to generate knowledge and insight into the risks of human space flight, with the ultimate objective to keep astronauts healthy in space. Each proposed study must clearly indicate how it is expected to be a direct precursor of future Canadian investigations on the International Space Station (ISS) or future space platforms;
  • Advance our understanding of similar health issues or applications on Earth, that could contribute to improving health of Canadians;
  • Foster the development of Highly Qualified Personnel (HQP), and the inclusion of under-represented groups engaged in space health and life sciences.

More specifically, this AO is divided into the following two (2) different categories:

Category 1 – Data and Sample mining: This category solicits proposals for scientific analyses, using databases or samples derived from existing collections to improve the understanding of the risks of spaceflight on health of men, women, and gender diverse people or for initial validation of new countermeasures. The studies selected for this Category are expected to be precursors of Canadian investigations on the International Space Station (ISS) or future space platforms

Category 2 – Research Models: The focus of research to be funded under this Category will be to use non-human subject research models such as animals, organoids, cell culture, and microorganisms to investigate space-related health risks and identify sex differences, if applicable. The study must include a research model/methodology relevant to weightlessness. The CSA encourages innovative approaches, such as synthetic biology (i.e., modification of living systems) that support health risk reduction, diagnosis or health care during space missions (prevention, detection, or treatment of acute or chronic health issues, infectious disease, radiation exposure, stress, etc.). However, the core of the proposed studies must focus on living systems.


Eligible Projects

Projects must be original initiatives presented to the CSA. Projects submitted to space agency-led selection processes are not eligible under this AO.

The principal investigator must hold a traditionally recognized academic position such as professor, associate professor, assistant professor, or professor emeritus (post-doctoral fellows cannot be considered as PI). Individuals who are paid salary through someone else's research grant are not eligible as a PI.

To be eligible, projects supported under this AO must be aligned with CSA priority outcomes, as stated in the : Leveraging deep-space health and food innovations. In accordance to its mandate, the activities selected must 1) generate new knowledge and insight into the risks of human space flight to keep astronauts healthy in space (), 2) they must clearly be recognizable as direct precursors of future Canadian investigations on future space platforms, and 3) they must generate strategies for novel countermeasures against the risks of human space flight.

In addition to the risks listed in the table below, the CSA will also evaluate if the activities would contribute to advancing our understanding of similar health issues, could contribute to improving health and health care for all Canadians, or translate to applications on Earth.

The following table presents the human space flight risks targeted by the CSA for this AO.

Eligible Human Space Flight Risks
MusculoskeletalMission risk resulting from reduced muscle strength and aerobic capacity, and increased bone fragility.
SensorimotorMission risks resulting from sensory changes/dysfunctions.
MetabolismMission risks associated with metabolism and the effects of nutrient composition of diet on health during space missions.
Behavioural Health and PerformanceMission behavioural health and performance risks, for example, associated with psychological adaptation, stress and fatigue, cognitive deterioration, or issues with team dynamics.
RadiationMission risk due to health and performance impairment associated with radiation damage.
Variable Gravity and Planetary-Lunar MissionsMission risks associated with physiological adaptation (including Space Associated Neuro-optical Syndrome) during transit (i.e. long duration exposure to microgravity) and sojourn on planetary surfaces. Note that physiological adaptation includes adaptation of human-associated microbial communities. Other risks can be associated with planetary exploration and can include, for instance, exposure to dust.

Application process: All researchers must notify both their Faculty Research Office and the Strategic and Institutional Research Initiatives (SIRI) team (see contact below) as soon as possible about their intention to apply. Support will be provided by SIRI.

Objective

This funding opportunity aims to:

  • Foster the sharing of data, expertise, and resources across Canada to drive innovation and collaboration, with a focus on leveraging AI to support cross-site data submission, harmonization, discovery, and sharing of multi-modal data.
  • Develop a pan-Canadian framework that enables the collection, stewardship, management, and sharing of cancer data across distributed repositories and platforms, with the aim to promote reproducibility, rigour, and reuse of research outputs, while reducing duplication and operational inefficiencies across the ecosystem, in alignment with other national efforts, including the Canadian Research Data Platform.
  • Support interdisciplinary team science by enabling secure and ethical sharing of data, expertise, and biosample resources among researchers across disciplines and jurisdictions, which is responsive to domain-specific needs of the cancer community.
  • Strengthen national research capacity in integrating inclusive, intersectional, and innovative skillsets, technologies, and methods in data science, analytics, and AI into their research.
  • Foster knowledge mobilization around implementation of best practices on responsible data management and sharing approaches that support open science, trusted reuse, and long-term public value from research investments.

These objectives are to be supported by the following key design elements:

  • Strong community-led governance: The National Cancer Data and Bio-Resource Coordinating Hub must establish a robust, transparent, and accountable governance structure that supports coordination across stakeholders and jurisdictions, ensuring that all of the above objectives are met.
  • Alignment with international and national standards: The Hub’s activities should be aligned with  (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles.  (GA4GH) tools and standards should be utilized to enable collaborations nationally, and with international genomic efforts on data sharing, analysis, and knowledge exchange.
  • Federated integration of multi-modal data: The Hub must support the incorporation and linkage of diverse multi-modal data types, including but not limited to multi-omic (e.g., genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, microbiomics), wearable, imaging, clinical, and histology data.
  • Pan-Canadian scope and interoperability: The Hub must operate with a national perspective that will enable discovery, access, and analysis of health data across the country, governed in a transparent, accountable, and consistent way.

Applicants must demonstrate that they have an existing, operational data platform, repository, or digital infrastructure that will serve as the foundation on which the proposed cancer-specific National Data Space will be developed. The funding opportunity is intended to support the extension, integration, and scaling of existing assets, and not the creation of entirely new standalone platforms.
