Grants and Contributions

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.

The CIHR Institute of Infection and Immunity (CIHR-III) has a mandate to support research,build research capacity and mobilize knowledge in the areas of infectious disease and the body's immune system. This priority announcement has a primary focus on biomedical research in which the objective and aims are directed towards building foundational knowledge in immunology and/or infectious diseases. Funding will be provided for applications that specifically align with III’s mandate and one or more of the following priority areas:

• Infection:
o Zoonotic or vector-borne transmission of pathogens in the context of Global Climate Change;
o Understanding functional genomics and/or molecular epidemiology of emerging/re-emerging pathogens;
o Resistance to fungal infections and/or the role of bacteriophages in combatting antimicrobial resistance.
• Immunity:
o Immune mechanisms involved in the development of trained innate immunity;
o Immune mechanisms involved in the development and maintenance of tissue-specific immunity;
o Metabolic regulation of immune cells and processes (immunometabolism).

Should there be no eligible applications relevant to the Priority Areas, applications that are relevant to the priority announcement but that fall outside of the Priority Areas would be funded.

The CIHR Institute of Infection and Immunity (CIHR-III) will offer funding to support early career researchers (ECR) in the fields of infection and immunity.

CIHR-III will award multi-year grants to applications that are determined to be specifically relevant to the CIHR-III broad mandate to support research, build research capacity and mobilize knowledge in the areas of infectious disease and the body's immune system.
