Fisheries Management: How theory becomes operationalized

Date: Friday, February 17, 2023

Time: 3:00-4:30 pm

Location: MCML 160

Bruce is an economist, but very much a practitioner. For the first 17 years of his career, he was an official with the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans, in the Pacific region. He subsequently went into private practice, working very closely with industry as well as the government. He does extensive consulting work outside of Canada, as well as within, with examples being the US (both coasts), China, and Europe.

Bruce provides policy advice, strategic planning, and management services to clients such as commercial fishing associations, government agencies, and environmental organizations. He has been active in the field for 30 years, involved in the design, development, and implementation of cooperative and shared management and monitoring arrangements in fisheries throughout North America

Pre-announcement: CCS Research Training Awards

The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) and its partners have identified the next generation of cancer researchers as a critical component to sustain research progress and drive innovation. To support this, CCS will be launching Research Training Awards for Master’s, Doctoral, and Postdoctoral fellows. These awards will seek to build capacity in the cancer research ecosystem by funding competitive, scientifically excellent applications, and by supporting the development of a diverse, inclusive and representative research workforce.

CCS is excited to announce valued partners on this initiative – check back for this important information at launch!

Anticipated launch date:

• March 2023 for Master’s and Doctoral
• May 2023 for Postdoctoral

Objective:

The Research Training Awards will support cancer research training and foster innovation in cancer research through an equity-seeking lens by supporting diverse trainees in an inclusive research environment. Research Training Awards will apply a holistic approach to research training that includes mentorship, training, and knowledge-sharing.

Who Can Apply:

This iteration of the award focuses on Master’s, Doctoral and Postdoctoral fellows. To increase diverse representation in our cancer research ecosystem, CCS and its partners support and encourage Black and Indigenous trainees to apply. For all levels of training, applicants must be Canadian citizens, First Nations (status and non-status), Métis, Inuit or permanent residents.

Funds available:

At least $3M will be awarded in the research training funding envelope. The total funding envelope is likely to increase as additional funds become available from CCS and through partnerships. Individual training amounts are described below (maximums described – awards may be pro-rated for part-time students and those holding other eligible research awards):

Anticipated start date:

• September 2023 for Master’s and Doctoral
• January 2024 for Postdoctoral fellows
