Grants and Contributions

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Strengthen integration, uptake, deployment and/or scale-up (spread) of evidence-based solutions: Improve existing programs, services, and/or models of care including equitable and inclusive access for diverse groups of people living with cognitive impairment and dementia, and for those that care for them.
• Build capacity: Strengthen implementation science approaches informed by intersectional equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) considerations among research teams, including early career researchers and knowledge users (i.e., PWLLE, decision makers), in cognitive impairment research.
• Spark interdisciplinary collaborations: Build partnerships and collaborations across sectors and jurisdictions, as appropriate, to co-develop and implement projects to contribute to a sustained and equitable impact beyond the duration of the grant.
• Foster knowledge mobilization and impact: Foster patient-oriented and integrated knowledge mobilization approaches and strategies throughout the research process to inform timely uptake and maximize research relevance and impact.

The main objectives of CCNA Phase III (Operations Centre and CCNA Research teams) align with and build upon Phases I and II:
• Increase the interdisciplinary collaborations within and across Teams, Themes and the Operations Centre in the area of age-related neurodegenerative diseases having an impact on cognition, including, but not limited to, prevention and risk reduction, diagnosis, treatment, care, services and social aspects;
• Build capacity in age-related neurodegenerative diseases that have an impact on cognition, including, but not limited to: prevention and risk reduction, diagnosis, treatment, care, services, social aspects, while recognizing, integrating and addressing equity, diversity and inclusion considerations, First Nations, Inuit and Métis health perspectives and persons with living/lived experience; and,
• Enhance the competitiveness of researchers in Canada, their international presence and influence on outcomes related to neurodegenerative diseases affecting cognition.

The specific objectives of the CCNA Operations Centre funding opportunity are to:
• Optimize a national operations centre to provide leadership, strengthen, and synergize innovative and collaborative Canadian research in neurodegenerative diseases;
• Provide guidance and coordination efforts for training and capacity development, to foster career development of the next generation of researchers in the field;
• Enhance the capacity for knowledge mobilization (KM) in both official languages to increase the dissemination and uptake of neurodegenerative diseases research results and enhance national and international research collaborations;
• Facilitate and support engagement of persons with neurodegenerative diseases affecting cognition and care partners to be actively involved throughout the research process;
• Scope and solidify CCNA’s strategic vision in line with the uniqueness of its data;
• Optimize systems and mechanisms ensuring increased awareness of, and responsible and timely access to CCNA data and biospecimens, while meeting ethical standards and protecting the privacy of participants; and,
• Enhance national and international research collaborations through data and KM linkages with other entities and/or research platforms, such as the CLSA.

The project will enhance safe and timely reintegration back to their communities as law-abiding citizens, and will provide culturally appropriate interventions, rehabilitation and reintegration support.

The program provides a reintegration training program to support Indigenous men and women offenders for skill development and job readiness in the construction industry utilizing a system of release within existing tools, ETA’s and work release.

The program and services the organization provides are recognized as an important component to the success rate for Indigenous offenders as well as provide services to fulfill Section 84 (offenders preparing for their exiting of the incarceration system and reintegrating in the Urban region of Montreal). The Justice Center provides holistic services to support Indigenous community members to continue on a good path forward and to support them in meeting their short and long term goals.

This Project supports the Canadian community’s efforts to attract, retain and expand foreign direct investment (FDI) and is ultimately designed to strengthen the economy at the community level.

Over the next four years, the project will develop and strengthen the BC Network of Child and Youth Advocacy Centres. The main activities include: support for centres, continued work on best practices and an Indigenous Services Framework, and continued evaluation and improvement of practice.

ANSJI will provide support to other jurisdictions in their implementation of IRCA; provide in-person and virtual assessor training sessions; provide support to new IRCA assessors via the mentorship model; and the development of a national network of IRCA assessors.

Victims and Survivors of Crime Week will take place from May 12 to May 18, 2024. Victims and Survivors of Crime Week projects provide an opportunity to raise awareness about victim issues and about the programs, services and laws in place to help victims and survivors of crime and their families.
