Welcome to the 六九色堂鈥檚 public accountability and transparency site for the (CRCP). The CRCP is an initiative of Canada's Tri-Agency Program Secretariat (TIPs) and includes the (SSHRC), and the (NSERC), and the (CIHR). The CRCP Secretariat is housed in SSHRC.
About the CRCP
The CRCP initiative was launched in 2000. The federal budget 2019-2000 allocated up to Canadian $295 million dollars to establish 2000 research chairs with the aim of attracting and retaining world-leading researchers to Canada. The CRCs aims to enhance Canada鈥檚 international competitiveness by advancing research excellence in all disciplines, deepening the depth of knowledge, creativity, and innovation, and mentoring and training the next generation of leading-edge researchers.
There are two types of Canada Research Chairs (CRCs)
- Tier 1 CRCs: These are tenable for seven years, and are renewable once, for up to 24 years. Tier 1 CRCs are for outstanding researchers who are recognized by their peers as world leaders in their fields. For each Tier 1 Chair, the institution receives $200,000 annually for seven years, for a total of approximately $1,400,000-$2,800,000.
- Tier 2 CRCs: Tenable for five years, and renewable once, Tier 2 CRCs are for outstanding emerging researchers who are recognized by their peers as having the potential to lead in their field. For teach Tier 2 CRC, the university receives $100,000 annually for five years, for a total of approximately $500,000 to one million dollars.
Currently, the CRCP allocates 2,285 research chairs to Canadian higher education institutions to attract and retain a diverse composition of talented researchers to Canada鈥檚 degree-granting institutions.

About the CRCP at UCalgary
The UCalgary is committed to research excellence and embedding equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility in the research ecosystem. On this page, you will find important information about the CRCP a the 六九色堂. This includes 六九色堂 CRC EDI Action Plan, the CRC EDI Awareness Strategy, and CRC update reports. You will find the federal CRC requirements, the CRC utilization spreadsheets, equity targets, and all current CRC opportunities and archived advertisements/job postings.
Below you will also find two databases, one of all current UCalgary CRCs, and another of former UCalgary CRCs. Learn more about the institution鈥檚 commitment to human rights and equity in the CRCP, institutional strategies, resources for EDI, Indigenous engagement, accommodation, EDI data, and EDI workshops and online modules to combat bias and discrimination in hiring and selection committees, and for embedding EDI in the research ecosystem more broadly.
Please direct any questions or concerns regarding the implementation of 六九色堂 EDI Action Plan to the 六九色堂鈥檚 CRC Institutional Equity Officer, Vice Provost and Associate Vice President Research (EDI), Dr. Malinda Smith, at vpedi@ucalgary.ca.

Human Rights, Equity, and the Canada Research Chairs Program
In 2006, eight women academics 鈥 Dr. Marjorie Griffin Cohen, Dr. Louise Forsyth, Dr. Glenis Joyce, Dr. Audrey Kobayashi, Dr. Shree Mulay, Dr. Michele Ollivier, Dr. Susan Prentice, and Dr. Wendy Robbins launched a human rights complaint against the Canada Research Chairs Program (CRCP). The complaint was resolved with the 2006 Canadian Human Rights Settlement Agreement.
Six of the surviving women academics' petitions for compliance gave rise to the 2019 Addendum to the Canada Research Chairs Program. The CRCP鈥檚 commitment to human rights, equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) and the new terms of the 2019 Addendum are outlined in an from the Chairs of the Steering and Management Committees of the Canada Research Chairs Program (CRCP), Ted Hewitt, PhD, Chair, CRCP Steering Committee and President, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, and Dr. Dominique B茅rub茅, PhD, Chair, CRCP Management Committee, and Vice-president, Research Programs, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.
In 2021, a second Canadian Human Rights Settlement Agreement was reached between Dr. Amir Attaran and the Tri-Agency Institutional Program Secretariat (TIPs).
National Representation in the Canada Research Chair Program: 2009 - 2029
Upcoming Canada Research Chair Equity Targets 鈥 August 2024
Research demonstrates that achieving an equitable, diverse and inclusive work environment leads to increased excellence, innovation and impact. As the Canada Research Chairs Program is founded on the principles of excellence, it is imperative that its design and implementation be exemplary and that it not perpetuate the systemic barriers that exist in academia and the research environment for members of racialized individuals, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, and women and gender equity-seeking groups.1
In 2021, the CRC program announced the timelines for phasing in new equity targets principally based on Canada鈥檚 population for each of the four designated groups in the program. The table below indicates the interim targets for 2022, 2025 and 2027, final targets for 2029, and current representation among 六九色堂 active chairs. Note that as a large institution, UCalgary must now reach these targets for both Tier 1 and Tier 2.

UCalgary EDI workshops
Literacy and education are crucial mechanisms used to ignite change and foster inclusion. The impact of training and education depends on community members' understanding and committing to lifelong learning, practicing mindfulness and taking responsibility for building an inclusive university.
Research Involving First Nations, Inuit and M茅tis Peoples
Upon completion of Module 9 you will be able to:
- understand that there are diverse perspectives on research involving First Nations, Inuit and M茅tis communities;
- interpret the Ethics framework in the context of First Nations, Inuit and M茅tis communities;
- recognize and respect the cultural norms, governance structures and needs of different Aboriginal communities involved in research
Bias in Peer Review 鈥 A Training Module
This interactive module is designed to promote an understanding of unconscious bias and its effect on the peer-review process. It will also provide strategies for mitigating bias during the review process.
Project Implicit
The mission of Project Implicit is to educate the public about bias and provide a 鈥渧irtual laboratory鈥 for collecting data on the internet. Project Implicit scientists produce high-impact research that forms the basis of our scientific knowledge about bias and disparities.
Implicit Bias and Microaggression Module
It can be difficult to identify our own implicit biases or even to admit that we have them. But research has shown that everyone has implicit biases. However, this does not mean that everyone has the same implicit biases or that it鈥檚 impossible to change one鈥檚 implicit biases.
Understanding and Overcoming Implicit Bias Module
Blind spots and snap judgements can impact our interactions with others. Brain science can help us understand why we have biases. We all draw upon our personal beliefs and experiences when interacting with others. Our highly personalized set of filters that we carry with us wherever we go shape our perceptions and prepare us to navigate interactions.
Implicit Bias Modules
This course will introduce insights into how our minds operate and help you understand the origins of implicit associations. You will also uncover some of your own biases and learn strategies for addressing them.
