Increasing Knowledge on Plastic Pollution Initiative – Canada

Increasing Knowledge on Plastic Pollution Initiative – Canada

Deadline: 20 March 2020

The Increasing Knowledge on Plastic Pollution (IKPP) Initiative is a program that aims to address knowledge gaps related to the potential human health effects and ecotoxicology of plastics in Canada.

The IKPP is implemented by Environment and Climate Change Canada, in collaboration with Health Canada, It aims to increase capacity, leverage collaborative partnerships and generate knowledge in support of Canada’s Plastics Science Agenda (CaPSA) with a particular focus on research gaps identified in the Draft Science Assessment of Plastic Pollution.

Objective

(Ad) Stop getting irritated with excessing advertisements. View the information you want quickly on a clean, ad-free and exclusive Member Dashboard that offers tools to search for grants, view latest grant opportunities, upcoming deadlines, sample proposals, downloadable ebooks and also organize your favourites! Learn more.

To support the implementation of Canada’s Plastics Science Agenda (CaPSA) and address the research gaps identified in the Draft Science Assessment of Plastic Pollution, projects funded by this initiative must seek to expand understanding of the effects of plastic pollution on human health and the environment. Scientific research funded by this initiative must contribute to improving the information base for assessing the risks of plastic pollution.

Funding Information

All projects must relate to the potential human health effects and ecotoxicology of plastics in Canada.

  • Human Health Effects: Projects will address questions related to the human health hazards associated with plastics. Projects will involve the collection, interpretation, analysis and sharing of information to support informed decisions and actions. Eligible activities include:
    • researching the uptake, translocation and fate of microplastics in the gastrointestinal and respiratory track including the physical characteristics that influence bioavailability, tissue distribution and toxicity.
    • researching the potential effects of microplastics-associated biofilms in drinking water.
    • researching the effects of plastics as vectors for chemical or biological contaminant exposure for plastic-derived chemicals (e.g. leached chemicals) and/or environmental pollutants.
  • Ecotoxicological Effects: Projects will increase knowledge on the biological, chemical and physical stressors introduced to ecosystems by the presence of microplastics and/or plastics-related contaminants. Projects will involve the collection, interpretation and analysis of data. Eligible activities include:
    • analysing the biological, chemical, or physical stressors introduced to ecosystem components by the input of plastics or plastics-related contaminants. Research focus should specifically relate to identification of thresholds needed to disrupt biochemical, physiological or behavioral interactions between plastic, the environment, and organisms.
    • researching the interactions between terrestrial fauna environments and microplastics.
