The University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy is launching the New North America Initiative (NNAI) to bridge a significant gap in dedicated research activity specific to the study of Canada-U.S. relations and policy. The announcement made May 16 comes thanks to $6. 487 million in funding from the Government of Alberta.
This is one of the only initiatives of its kind focused on fostering a better understanding of the Canada-U.S. relationship. “With the crisis in Canada-U.S. relations it’s clear our traditional policies and the ways we engage the Americans, and their federal and state governments, have not been enough,” says Martha Hall Findlay, director of the School of Public Policy and James S. and Barbara A.
Palmer Chair in Public Policy. “We need new thinking and new ways of engaging, and we need the work behind this to come from new places and new voices on both sides of the border. That’s what the New North America Initiative will deliver.
” Universities unite to increase understanding and skills This initiative will build upon the expertise at the University of Calgary, in collaboration with researchers at the University of Alberta, University of Lethbridge and Mount Royal University along with American colleagues with the University of Nebraska, University of Colorado, Arizona State University and Rice University.
It will connect thought leaders, government officials, the private sector and think tanks in Alberta and across the continent to increase understanding and share new ideas on relations within North America. In addition to coursework and hands-on involvement in research, the initiative will help train students in specific skills and knowledge to work for government, private sector and civil society.
“The University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy is taking the lead at a critical moment in Canada-U.S. relations by gathering the expertise of our researchers and partners to provide evidence-based public policy guidance to government,” says Dr. Ed McCauley, president and vice-chancellor, UCalgary.
Premier Smith meets with Carlo Dade and Martha Hall Findlay from the School of Public Policy at the event announcing the New North America Initiative. Premier Danielle Smith said the NNAI will provide an avenue for understanding and navigating the changing geopolitical landscape at a crucial time and help Alberta and Canada navigate the new reality.
“A strong and collaborative relationship with the United States is essential to Alberta’s long-term success. This initiative will deepen academic and policy partnerships, and expand Alberta’s research capacity, to support and develop effective responses to shifts in Canada-U.S. relations,” Smith says.
Initiative looks to educating the next generation The initiative was developed by Carlo Dade, director of International policy at the School of Public Policy, who will lead the NNAI. He said this idea has been germinating for the past five years since he was the director of trade and trade infrastructure at the Canada West Foundation.
As part of the launch of the initiative, a roundtable discussion was held with researchers from post-secondary institutions across Canada and the U.S. The discussion explored opportunities for Alberta-based researchers to serve as a ready resource of information, intelligence, and capacity to help inform policy.
Its goal was to allow these researchers to hear diverse perspectives from experts across the United States and Alberta and help build collaborative relationships.

Read articleOn June 15, 2026, USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins and Education Secretary Linda McMahon announced the FY 2026 funding opportunity for the Research Facilities Act Program — $125 million annually, drawn from the Working Families Tax Cuts legislation, with applications due July 17. The Research Facilities Act has been authorized since 1963 but has never had a reliable annual appropriation; it has run on year-to-year discretionary funding measured in single-digit millions for most of its history. The FY 2026 announcement converts a sixty-year-old authority into a recurring infrastructure program aimed at the deferred-maintenance backlog at 1862, 1890, and 1994 land-grant universities. Here is what land-grant institutions, ag-research consortia, and state agricultural experiment stations need to know before July 17.
