Government of Canada launches call for proposals for northern contaminants research and monitoring projects
October 30, 2024
The Government of Canada is launching a call for proposals for research and monitoring projects on the impacts of contaminants in the North.
The call for proposals is part of the Government of Canada’s Northern Contaminants Program (NCP), which was established in 1991 to address the unique health and environmental challenges posed by contaminants in the North.
The NCP supports research and monitoring projects that focus on the following areas:
- The presence and levels of contaminants in the Arctic environment
- The effects of contaminants on the health of northern residents
- The development of strategies to reduce the exposure of northern residents to contaminants
The call for proposals is open to researchers from universities, government agencies, and non-profit organizations.
The deadline for submitting proposals is January 31, 2025.
More information about the call for proposals is available on the NCP website: www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/environmental-workplace-health/northern-contaminants-program.html
About the Northern Contaminants Program
The NCP is a federal program that provides funding for research and monitoring projects on the impacts of contaminants in the North. The NCP is managed by Health Canada, in partnership with other federal departments and agencies, including Environment and Climate Change Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and the Public Health Agency of Canada.
The NCP has supported over 500 research and monitoring projects since its inception. These projects have helped to improve our understanding of the sources, levels, and effects of contaminants in the North, and have led to the development of strategies to reduce the exposure of northern residents to contaminants.
The NCP is an important part of the Government of Canada’s commitment to protecting the health and well-being of northern residents.
