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 goal of this funding opportunity is for the three established provincial IYS networks (Foundry, YWHO, Aire Ouverte) and an Indigenous Network (drawn from the existing AOM network) to conduct implementation science and to collaborate to inform pan-Canadian standards for IYS.

The objectives of this funding opportunity are to:
• Contribute to the evidence base around the implementation and uptake of existing standards and guiding principles within the established IYS networks and the AOM Indigenous Network in Canada;
• Facilitate knowledge sharing about existing IYS standards and guiding principles for policy and decision-making to inform the development of pan-Canadian standards and guiding principles in this area;
• Facilitate effective and meaningful youth engagement in implementation science research related to IYS standards and guiding principles, and ensure this type of engagement informs the development of pan-Canadian standards in this area;
• Work collaboratively with existing and emerging networks (in other provinces and territories) to build and foster implementation science research, and knowledge mobilization capacity and to promote alignment of IYS standards and guiding principles across networks.

Additionally, researchers are required to utilize a health equity lens to their research on IYS standards. For example, how standards are relevant to, or implemented across diverse groups, such as populations marginalized by racism and/or underserved populations (e.g., LGBTQ2S+, gender diverse youth), or groups significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Beyond efforts to bolster the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI), CIHR recognizes that First Nations, Inuit and Métis are rights-holding as First Peoples of Canada, and initiatives should be developed through distinctions-based approaches, as found in the strategic plan Setting new directions to support Indigenous research and research training.

• The CIHR Institute of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes (INMD) will provide funding for applications in which the objectives and aims are determined to be largely and directly relevant to the INMD mandate as described below:
o CIHR-INMD supports research to enhance health in relation to diet, digestion, excretion, and metabolism; and to address causes, prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, support systems, and palliation for a wide range of conditions and problems associated with hormone, digestive system, kidney, and liver.
• These grants afford principal investigators an opportunity to resubmit their research proposal without the loss of momentum, staff or trainees.
