POLAR International Partnership Research Development Program - Canada. ca POLAR International Partnership Research Development Program The 2026–2028 call for applications for the POLAR International Partnership Research Development Program is now open.
Applications will be accepted until September 9, 2026, 11:59 PM EST Polar Knowledge Canada ( POLAR ) is accepting proposals for the POLAR International Partnership Research Development program. Up to $100,000 per project in funding will be distributed over two years to add or expand international research collaboration for existing projects.
Science and Technology Pillars Polar Knowledge Canada disburses funds in support of three Science and Technology pillars. Projects seeking funds under the POLAR International Partnership Research Development program must meet at least one of the three pillars.
POLAR ’s 2026-2029 Science and Technology Framework comprises of the following three pillars of research and knowledge: “One Health” is an integrated approach to understanding wildlife health, human health, and ecosystem health. This pillar supports research that improves understanding of the factors affecting these interconnected systems, including impacts on wildlife, communities, and the environment.
Priority areas include research that supports food security in the North, sustainable harvesting practices, food safety, northern supply chains, and approaches that strengthen the health and well-being of Arctic communities. Pillar 2 - Energy, technology, and cold climate innovation This pillar supports research and innovation that address energy and technology challenges in cold climates and remote locations.
Priority areas include the development, testing, and application of solutions related to energy systems, waste management, transportation, housing, and other technologies that improve resilience and sustainability in northern environments.
Pillar 3- Climate, biodiversity, and shifting landscapes This pillar supports research that improves understanding of the impacts of climate change on Arctic terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems.
Priority areas include changing environmental conditions, biodiversity, permafrost, glaciers, sea ice, wildlife and vegetation, extreme weather, and other landscape level changes that inform environmental stewardship, climate adaptation and Canada’s response to emerging Arctic challenges. For more information, read the Science and Technology Framework .
Eligible applicants include, Canadian academic institutions and organizations, and Indigenous and community organizations with Principal Investigators who have an existing research project based in the Canadian Arctic and/or Antarctic regions. Projects who received funding under the previous POLAR International Partnership Research Development Program (2025–2027) are not eligible to apply.
While exceptions may be made, most successful applications will involve a project that has been ongoing for a minimum of two years. For the purposes of this Call, an existing research project refers to a research initiative that has already been established, with defined objectives, ongoing activities, and/or demonstrated progress toward research outcomes.
The proposed international partnership must add value to the existing research program and support its objectives. To be eligible for this contribution program, applications must meet the following criteria: Principal Investigator must be based at a Canadian academic institution, organisation, or Indigenous or community organization.
The proposed project builds on an existing research program that supports Arctic or Antarctic science research aligned with the priorities in Science and Technology pillars (listed above). The proposed partnership is with a research institution, organization or collaborator that closely aligns with Canada’s Arctic Foreign Policy .
In addition to the eligibility and assessment criteria, POLAR may prioritize projects that align with Canada's strategic science priorities for the Arctic and Antarctic. The following examples represent projects funded under the 2025-2027 Call for Proposals and are provided for illustrative purposes only.

DARPA's Art of Novel Signals (DPA26BZ04-DV015) offers $2 million to build a geopolitical forecasting engine that reads multilingual radio and community reporting from data-sparse regions — no Phase I, an 80% precision floor to even qualify, and an August 19 deadline. Here is what the topic actually demands, why it is Direct-to-Phase-II only, and which small businesses can realistically win it.
Read articleDARPA opened three of its most strategically revealing SBIR topics of the year on July 22, 2026, with a tight four-week window closing August 19: Art of Novel Signals (temporal knowledge-graph forecasting), FALCON (fusing LLMs with symbolic reasoning), and Non-Volatile Memory for Extreme Environments. Here is what each funds, why the topics reveal DARPA's priorities, and how a small team should approach a four-week deadline.
Read articleNSF's Arctic Research Opportunities solicitation funds roughly 75 awards a year — up to $50 million — across six program areas from natural sciences to social sciences to the Arctic Observing Network. The July 15, 2026 target date is not a hard deadline, and understanding that distinction is the first strategic decision an Arctic researcher makes. Here is how the six doors differ and how to choose the right one.
