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 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 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.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Demonstrate the feasibility of tracking rare diseases and conducting prospective studies in this field within the Canadian health care systems;
• Increase cross-jurisdictional collaboration and data sharing amongst hospitals;
• Prospectively assess the impact of mortality, co-morbidities, hospital usage, other health system usage, and total direct cost of rare diseases to the health care system; and,
• Facilitate the establishment of patient registries for potential enrollment by a diversity of people in Canada in clinical trials and to enable patient and caregiver peer-to-peer contact.

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.
