Grants and Contributions

• The CIHR Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Research Initiative, under the leadership of CIHR's Institute of Infection and Immunity (III), supports the development of broader, more cohesive engagement and actions, methods and tools to combat AMR and improve antimicrobial use.
• In alignment with CIHR's commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in the research system, the research initiative champions EDI as a means to support excellence in research, training and knowledge mobilization. Therefore, we encourage people from diverse backgrounds, including groups underrepresented in science such as women and racial and ethnic minorities, to apply.

The CIHR Institute of Cancer Research (CIHR-ICR) has a mandate to support research that reduces the burden of cancer on individuals and families through prevention strategies, screening, diagnosis, effective treatments, psycho-social support systems, and palliation.

This priority announcement (PA) is designed to support research that prevents the onset of cancer (lowers cancer risk) and/or reduces the severity of the disease through early detection when it is at its most treatable.

This PA supports research that creates new knowledge in cancer prevention and early detection and/or moves it into practice in the health system, communities, workplaces, and in the daily lives of Canadians.

This PA will fund research in the following areas:
• Cancer Prevention
• Early Detection of Cancer

For the purpose of this PA, sport is defined as "Activities that develop specific skills, and that are organized around competition and governed by rules" and will contribute to the National Women's Health Research Initiative (NWHRI) which is advancing a coordinated research program that addresses under-researched and high-priority areas of women's health and will ensure new evidence improves women's and gender-diverse people's care and health outcomes.

The Project Grant program is expected to:
• Support a diverse portfolio of health-related research and knowledge translation proposals at any stage, from discovery to application, including commercialization;
• Promote relevant collaborations across disciplines, professions, and sectors; and
• Contribute to the creation and use of health-related knowledge

The objectives for the renewal align with the initial NEIHR Program funding opportunity as follows:

• Support Indigenous community-based health research that reflects the priorities and values of Indigenous Peoples;
• Enhance the Indigenous community-based health research network environment that will support Indigenous leadership and research-related organizations with existing and new research infrastructures and platforms;
• Augment awareness, capacity and relevance of Indigenous health research that improves the health of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples across all health research domains;
• Improve the understanding of Indigenous health research and Indigenous research paradigms through ethical and impactful partnerships between Indigenous communities and health researchers, scholars, professors and instructors, research administrators, policy and decision makers, and other parties with an interest in Indigenous health research;
• Engage Indigenous Peoples in Canada in leading and conducting health research and Knowledge Sharing;
• Engage with researchers, Indigenous Peoples, and other relevant parties from different countries as appropriate, in order to advance the objectives of the NEIHR Centres; and
• Develop enduring NEIHR Centres with sustainable mandates to build research capacity, conduct research, advance Indigenous research paradigms, and carry out Knowledge Sharing activities.
