Call for Expressions of Interest for West White Rose Employment Diversity Research Fund
Experience in the resource development sector has demonstrated that segments of the population continue to be under-represented. How do we develop programs and initiatives to improve the participation of traditionally under-represented groups?
To better understand this issue, and help build capacity to address it, Memorial University’s Harris Centre will fund research projects related to growing the pool of available qualified workers from under-represented groups in the natural resources sector in Newfoundland and Labrador. Funding for this program has been provided by the West White Rose Project co-venture partners, specifically Husky Energy (Operator), Suncor, and Nalcor.

Researchers must partner with a community partner and submit an Expression of Interest letter. Expressions of Interest will be reviewed by the Program Committee and successful partnerships will be contacted to submit a more detailed application. This application will be reviewed according to the weighted evaluation criteria. The program committee is usually comprised of representatives from community, industry and academia, and chaired by staff from the Harris Centre.
