• The CIHR Institute of Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis (CIHR-IMHA) will fund applications that are determined relevant to its mandate and research priority areas as described below:
• IMHA mandate areas
o Pain
o Oral Health

• The CIHR Institute of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes (CIHR-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.

• The CIHR Institute of Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction (CIHR-INMHA) will fund an application that is determined to be relevant to their mandate and research priority areas:
o INMHA supports research to enhance mental health, neurological health, vision, hearing, and cognitive functioning and to reduce the burden of related disorders through prevention strategies, screening, diagnosis, treatment, support systems, and palliation.

• The CIHR Institute for Population and Public Health (CIHR-IPPH) will fund applications that are relevant to their mandate, focused on improving equitable health outcomes and aligned with one of the following priority areas identified in Transforming Public Health: IPPH Strategic Plan 2022-2026:
o Healthy Cities: IPPH will support proposals that are aligned with CIHR’s Healthy Cities Research Initiative (HCRI) and are focused on population health intervention research and/or implementation science as it relates to urban environments.
o Equity Science: IPPH will support proposals that advance the development and use of community-led and community-based data driven approaches for health solutions addressing experiences of disadvantage and discrimination.
o Public Health Systems: IPPH will support proposals that aim to identify and/or address key public health systems research priorities in Canada.

Patient-Oriented Research (POR), which is foundational to evidence-informed health care, refers to a continuum of research that engages patients, including People with Lived and Living Experience (PWLLE), as partners throughout the research process, focusses on patient-identified priorities, and improves patient outcomes. This research, conducted by multidisciplinary teams in partnership with relevant stakeholders, aims to apply the knowledge generated to improve health outcomes for Canadians.

The Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) is a national coalition of federal, provincial and territorial partners (patients and informal caregivers, health authorities, academic health centres, charities, philanthropic organizations, private sector, etc.) dedicated to the integration of patient-oriented research into care.

SPOR funded research requires the inclusion of a diversity of patients (including PWLLE) in health research in a culturally safe manner, while considering accessibility and equity within the patient partners they include in their patient-oriented research.

The vision for SPOR is that Canada will demonstrably improve health outcomes and enhance the health care experience for patients through the integration of evidence at all levels of the health care system.
