The University of Ottawa hosts six American scholars each year through the Fulbright Canada Visiting Research Chairs program:

• Visiting Research Chair in Governance and Public Administration at the Centre on Governance
• Visiting Research Chair in Human Rights and Social Justice at the Human Rights Research and Education Centre

• Visiting Research Chair in Science and Society at the Institute for Science, Society and Policy
• Visiting Research Chair in Environment and Economy at the Institute of the Environment
• Visiting Research Chair in Sustainable Economy at the Institute of the Environment
• Visiting Research Chair in Health Law at the Centre for Health Law, Policy and Ethics

Through this program, collaborative research is conducted and lectures offered at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The main benefits gained through those Chairs are the intellectual value of integrating dedicated researchers into ongoing areas of scholarly pursuit at the University, the increased visibility gained by having scholars addressing issues of current concern, and the establishment of vibrant academic ties with the United States in areas of shared interest.

The São Paulo Research Fund supports collaborative projects in all areas of knowledge involving the exchange of researchers from the State of São Paulo, Brazil, and from member institutions of the Consortium of Alberta, Laval, Dalhousie and Ottawa Universities (CALDO) within the scope of the renewed Research Cooperation Agreement between CALDO and the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) signed in September 2016.

To be eligible, research teams must be composed of a researcher from the State of São Paulo currently holding a FAPESP grant, and of a researcher from a CALDO member university. Teams may receive up to $25,000 per two-year project to cover travel (air tickets), health insurance, and living allowance expenses of participating researchers.

Results will be announced after 28 July.
