Grants and Contributions

The objectives of this funding opportunity are to fund new research that will improve health and achieve more equitable outcomes in nutrition, metabolic health and chronic high burden diseases, as well as STBBI, across the life course of diverse groups of people in Canada by:

1. Developing precision medicine approaches to characterize the variability that underlies mechanisms of disease, to prevent, detect and intervene effectively in terms of disease susceptibility, progression, resilience and reversibility, and treatment
2. Increasing our understanding of interactions between structural, social, environmental, and biological determinants of health in Indigenous communities that underlie heterogeneity in health and disease
3. Increasing our understanding of interactions between structural, social, environmental, and biological determinants of health with particular emphasis on a diversity of populations who have historically experienced inequitable outcomes in Canada and at-risk groups that underlie heterogeneity in health and disease

Note that applicants will not be required to meet all the objectives in their respective application, but all objectives will be met through the funding opportunity.

Summary

• The CIHR HIV/AIDS and STBBI Research Initiative (RI), under the leadership of the CIHR Institute of Infection and Immunity (III), is responsible for the funding, management and oversight of research with a primary focus on HIV/AIDS and/or other STBBI. This includes, but is not limited to: human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV), chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and human papilloma virus (HPV). This funding is provided across all CIHR Research Themes: biomedical research, clinical research, health services research and social, cultural, environmental and population health research.
• Research that focuses on key populations and strategic directions identified in the CIHR HIV/AIDS Research Initiative: Strategic Plan (2015-2020) is highly encouraged.

• Incorporating sex and gender into health research makes for better science that is more rigorous and more applicable to the needs of everybody. The CIHR Institute of Gender and Health (CIHR-IGH) will provide funding for applications determined to be relevant to its mandate and that explicitly incorporate an intersectional lens within sex, gender and health research.
o CIHR-IGH mandate is to foster research excellence regarding the influence of sex and gender on health and to apply these findings to identify and address pressing health challenges facing men, women, girls, boys and gender-diverse people.

• The Centre for Research on Pandemic Preparedness and Health Emergencies (CRPPHE) is housed at CIHR with a mandate to grow Canada’s research leadership in preparedness, prevention, response, and recovery from pandemics and public health emergencies, including by building and supporting Canadian research capacity in the field. CRPPHE will fund applications that address its mandate and the research areas listed below.
• CRPPHE welcomes interdisciplinary applications, including those addressing more than one of the listed Research Areas and/or more than one of the emergency management pillars (i.e., preparedness, prevention, response, and recovery)

The CCS Workplace Cancer Research Grants have been created to support game-changing cancer research that will uncover new knowledge and fill existing gaps related to a diversity of workplace cancer risk factors to drive cancer prevention efforts and inform guidelines, policies, and regulations aimed at reducing cancer risk for workers in Canada..
