LA&PS Spotlights
Arash Habibi: Foundations of Cybersecurity Awareness and Vigilance
School of Information Technology’s professor in cybersecurity, Arash Habibi Lashkari’s research focuses on enabling large-scale cybersecurity resiliency through industry partnerships, public education, and user awareness. His ongoing research project, “Understanding Cybersecurity Series (UCS)” focuses on improving cybersecurity awareness, to enable vigilance among users. The series aims to make information relating to cybersecurity accessible to people of all educational backgrounds. Lashkari believes that a cybersecurity awareness strategy which is available in different languages can encourage multi-directional growth for active industry professionals and developers; enabling a future cohort of youth, professionals, educators, and community stakeholders to become more involved in issues at the intersection of IT (Information Technology) system security and social responsibility. The series delivers cybersecurity datasets, cybersecurity open-source projects, cybersecurity online blogs, cybersecurity books, and related articles released periodically.
Professor Lashkari is a senior member of the IEEE and has been the recipient of 15 awards at international computer security competitions - including three gold awards - and was recognized as one of Canada’s Top 150 Researchers for 2017. In 2020, Dr. Lashkari was recognized with the University of New Brunswick’s highly prestigious Teaching Innovation Award for his teaching methodology, “Think-Que-Cussion”, used to raise student curiosity.

Mehraneh Ebrahimi - War & Refugeedom: Stories that Save Lives
Department of English’s new professor Mehraneh Ebrahimi's research focuses on the impact of life-writing on giving voice and dignity to refugees. Her second book project entitled Refugee Literature: Dignity, Agency, and Voice in Iranian Exilic Life Writing has been supported by a SSHRC Explore and a LA&PS Minor Research Grant (MRG).
Covid-19, winter, and war have strangled the lifelines of more than eighty million forcibly displaced people around the world. In an attempt to trace the implications of aesthetics and politics, Professor Ebrahimi’s work steers away from desensitizing media portrayals of asylum seekers as needy throngs and instead highlights their heterogeneity and individual experiences.
Dr. Ebrahimi’s first book Women, Art, and Literature in the Iranian Diaspora introduces a triple lens for reading narratives of exile. She calls for a simultaneous engagement with the aesthetics, politics, and ethics of representing alterity.
Connect with Mehraneh to learn more about her research and collaborations.

Canadian Frailty Network: Springboard Grants Program – Early Career Researcher Competition
The Canadian Frailty Network (CFN) in partnership with AGE-WELL, Perley Health and Sepsis Canada recently launched the 2022 Springboard Grant Program to co-fund early career researchers (ECRs) in Canada.
There are four funding streams in this competition:
- Proposals Solely Funded by CFN - Clinical studies, knowledge translation, implementational science, or quality improvement studies that investigate novel and innovative ways to improve the lives of older adults living with frailty are eligible for CFN funding.
- Proposals Supported by CFN and AGE-WELL - Proposals that support innovative early-stage, scalable research projects including pilot studies, feasibility studies, and novel approaches or post-discovery projects focused on implementation. Proposals must focus on the real-world use and impact of AgeTech solutions to improve the lives of older Canadians living with frailty and their caregivers.
- Proposals Co-Funded by CFN and Perley Health - Implementational science, translational or quality improvement studies that investigate novel and innovative ways to improve the lives of older adults and/or Veterans living with frailty in long-term care are eligible for funding. Submitted proposals must align with one or more of Perley Health’s Centre of Excellence research priorities. Studies must meaningfully integrate older Canadians and/or Veterans living with frailty and/or their families/caregivers in planning, designing and executing the study, and interpreting study findings.

Reminder: The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation and SSHRC partner to advance Indigenous-led research
The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) are partnering on a national research program to advance understanding of reconciliation.
The new partnership further responds to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada’s call to action 65 and supports Calls to Actions 71 to 76. The collaboration will foster research on reconciliation and residential schools, done by and with Indigenous communities. It will leverage the skills and knowledge of both parties—the NCTR's expertise and ability to safeguard the truths of Survivors, their families, communities and others affected by the residential school system; and SSHRC’s role to promote and support research and training in the humanities and social sciences.
This NCTR-SSHRC initiative is taking the form of a one-time funding opportunity, the Partnership Engage Grants—Residential Schools Joint Initiative (PEG RSJI). The PEG RSJI will support projects responding to a community’s need for planning, discussions, archival work or storytelling prior to, or in addition to, excavations or identifications on residential school sites in Canada. Projects can also focus on ground exploration, identification of sites and remains, repatriation of missing children from residential schools in Canada, or mapping and preservation of these sites, as judged appropriate by the community.
Value and duration
- Up to $1 million for the June 2022 Partnership Engage Grants competition to support projects related to residential schools.
- Grants are valued at a maximum amount of $50,000 per project for the duration of one year.
- A one-year automatic grant extension without additional funding is also available under this joint initiative.
Eligibility
PEG RSJI applications are subject to the general Partnership Engage Grants’ eligibility requirements.
Researchers can submit only one application to either Partnership Engage Grants or the PEG RSJI in the same competition (e.g., June 2022).
However, the following exceptions apply:
- Researchers who have already submitted a Partnership Engage Grants application in the current calendar year are still eligible to apply for a PEG RSJI grant; and
- Researchers can hold one Partnership Engage Grant (but not for the June 2022 competition), multiple Partnership Engage Grant COVID-19 Special Initiative awards and a PEG RSJI simultaneously.
Deadline : June 15, 2022
For more details, please visit Partnership Engage Grants—Residential Schools Joint Initiative (PEG RSJI) application process.
Special Call: The New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF) – Research for Postpandemic Recovery
Objectives :
- Mobilize Canadian-led research efforts in support of a more equitable, sustainable and resilient postpandemic reality
- Support a diverse portfolio of projects that directly address one or more of the research priorities outlined in the Roadmap (see the UN Roadmap), including any of the UN’s priorities and subpriorities, including but not limited to the “quick-win”, best-buy” and “game-changer” priorities.
Applications must demonstrate how they respond to the priorities laid out in the Roadmap.

Projects are not required to cross the mandates of more than one federal research funding agency.
Eligibility
Applications for projects that are the same as or similar (in whole or in part) to applications have been submitted to or funded by any federal research funding agency programs, including other NFRF competitions, are not eligible and should not be submitted.
All project teams must include at least one expert in social, economic, or socio-economic research and/or implementation science among the principal investigators (NPI or co-PI) to reflect the socio-economic framework and goals of the UN Roadmap.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To ensure that these grants support projects with a diversity of perspectives and aims, individuals may participate in only one application to this competition as either an NPI or co-PI or co-applicant.
