Dear Dr Knull,

The Canadian Government, through its Embassy and Consulates in the United States, supports research, conferences, teaching, and program activity related to Canada and/or Canada-U.S. relations. Our grant program <http://geo.international.gc.ca/can-am/washington/studies/grantguide-en.asp>  seeks to encourage comparative research and teaching, faculty exchanges, student mobility, and collaboration between American and Canadian researchers. We also seek to build stronger ties between American and Canadian universities and colleges.

We are particularly interested in projects that have policy relevance for Canada and Canada-U.S. relations. Such topics include:

*  smart and secure borders 

*  North American economic competitiveness 

*  regulatory cooperation 

*  Canada-U.S. trade and investment partnership 

*  energy security and sustainability 

*  environmental sustainability 

*  emergency planning and management
