Are you interested in a joint award to conduct research in

Canada and Mexico? FULBRIGHT CANADA offers a unique

opportunity to promising and prominent American scholars as well

as experienced professionals.

The intent of this award is to enhance collaboration among a community of scholars work-

ing on issues of relevance to the special trilateral relationship among the United States,

Mexico and Canada, created by shared borders and accelerated by the North American

Free Trade Agreement. Projects across a broad range of disciplines as well as those with

an interdisciplinary focus are welcomed; proposals should reflect topics which would ben-

efit from a trilateral perspective and clearly demonstrate a need to spend time in both

Mexico and Canada. Grants are from 4 months to an academic year, and time should be

distributed fairly equally between Canada and Mexico.

ism, Constitutional Foundings, Judicial Review,

particular is especially desirable but not necessary. The ability to engage with scholars and stu-

include: the constitutional status of federalist arrangements, including their judicial enforceability,

their founding status, and their effects on other constitutional structures; empirical comparative stud-

ies of federalism; analytic or formal modeling of federal systems; normative research on the justifia-

bility and justifiable shape of federalism, as compared with unitary, confederal, and subsidiary mod-

els of government; the intellectual foundations of federalism, including the history of federalist

thought; multiethnic federalism; the relationship between constitutionalism and democracy or be-

tween constitutionalism and liberalism; the stability of constitutional systems; constitutional political

economy; constitutional entrenchment and judicial review; the history of constitutional thought

U.S. studies with a focus on policy issues, such as the

American economy, trade, international relations,

security and environmental issues. The geographic

scope is open, but preference will be given to policy

applications in the North American context.







The mandate of the Alberta Institute for American Studies is to encourage and facilitate

informed analysis and discussion of the policies and policy processes of the United States.

In doing so, it seeks to fulfill a primary goal of providing informed council, based on

sound research to address Canada’s U.S. specific challenges and opportunities. A sec-

ondary goal is to study the approaches that Americans take on policy issues, as they often

provide Canadians with useful comparisons that inform our discussions and debates.

McGill’s Centre for Research on Brain, Language and Music (CRBLM) maintains faculty and student

research support and engages in research training and scholarly development across four Montreal

universities (McGill, Université de Montréal, UQAM, and Concordia). Our mission includes: promot-

ing the scientific study of language and music neuroscience, stimulating interdisciplinary and cross-

domain collaboration among researchers on basic and applied problems in language and music,

fostering innovative research training for graduate and postdoctoral students, disseminating re-

search findings to clinical and educational end-users and forming national and international part-

nerships. Our goal is to develop a fundamental theoretical, behavioral and neuroscientific under-

standing of the neurobiological, social and communicative processes of language and music.

Application of optical imaging technologies (near infrared

spectroscopy), magnetic encephalography (MEG), or inno-

vative neuroimaging techniques with emphasis on questions

concerning the neural substrates for music and language

processing; theoretical and evolutionary perspectives on

the acquisition of music and language; parallels in the de-

velopment and use of language and music; development of

language abilities with specific emphasis on bilingualism.

One of the top three faculties of education in Canada, the Faculty of Education at the University of

Alberta has internationally recognized strengths in a variety of areas including curriculum and ped-

agogy, multi-modal literacies, policy development, educational measurement, international and

global citizenship education, the educational needs of multicultural and Aboriginal populations, the

appropriate integration of technology with scholarship and teaching and science and mathematics

education. The Faculty boasts two Kaplan Professors, four researchers hold Canada Research Chairs

and the Faculty houses one of five NSERC-funded CRYSTALs (Centres for Research in Youth, Sci-

ence, Teaching and Learning). Outstanding new hires, established researchers, and strong doctoral

students make the Faculty an excellent context for collaborative, ground breaking work.

The University of Manitoba is an internationally respected educational institution, currently

offering over 90 degrees, diplomas and certificates, including more than 60 at the under-

graduate level. The University is Manitoba’s largest and most comprehensive post-

secondary institution and the only one with a research-intensive focus. The University of

Manitoba has been at the center of research in Manitoba for more than a century and annu-

al research funding from external sources is over $160 million. From the development of

canola and advances in wireless communication to exploring the frontiers of global climate

change and breakthrough discoveries on HIV/AIDS, and the elimination of Rh disease in

newborns, their researchers have made contributions that have had a global impact.

UPEI’s areas of research focus include comparative biomedical sciences, aquatic health sciences,

environmental sciences, natural products chemistry, and human development and health. In addi-

tion to academic departments in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Faculty of Science, UPEI is

home to the Atlantic Network on Bioactive Compounds, the Atlantic Centre for Comparative Bio-

medical Research, and hosts the Jeanne and J. Louis Levesque Research Professorships in Nutrisci-

ences and Health. UPEI has dedicated a number of Canada Research Chairs to areas related to bio-

resources and health. The newly opened National Research Council (NRC) Institute for Nutriscience

and Health is located on campus, providing a venue where researchers from the NRC, UPEI and Ag-

riculture/Agri-food Canada work collectively to address nutriscience based approaches to health

and wellness. Charlottetown, a city of 35,000, is the capital of Canada’s smallest province, Prince

Edward Island. UPEI is a major contributor to the island’s growing bioscience cluster and is nation-

ally ranked among the top research intensive universities in its category.
