³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ

Internal application submission date: May 15, 2022
External (CRC) application submission date: July 29, 2022

The Robbins-Ollivier Award for Excellence in Equity recognizes the contributions that Marjorie Griffin Cohen, Louise Forsyth, Glenis Joyce, Audrey Kobayashi, Shree Mulay, Susan Prentice, Michèle Ollivier and Wendy Robbins have made to increase the level of equity within the Canada Research Chairs Program (CRCP) and Canada’s research ecosystem more broadly, by way of their 2003 Canadian Human Rights complaints and their concerted efforts in the mediation processes, which led to both the 2006 Settlement Agreement and its addendum in 2019.

³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ may nominate an eligible faculty member or a team of eligible faculty members who will lead bold and potentially game-changing projects that will challenge the status quo, spark change, and take action to address persistent systemic barriers in the research ecosystem and academia.

We invite faculty and researchers from all disciplines who are eligible to apply for Tri- Agency grants to submit an application for the Robbins-Ollivier Award. One application will be chosen by the Selection Committee to be submitted on behalf of ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ to the CRC program.

Value and Duration:
Three awards valued at $100,000 are conferred annually through a peer review process led by the program’s Advisory Committee on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Policy.
