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:
• 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.

The CIHR HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmitted and Blood-Borne Infections (STBBI) Research Initiative, under the leadership of the CIHR Institute of Infection and Immunity (CIHR-III), defines STBBI as infections that are transmitted primarily through exchange of body fluids during sexual contact and/or through blood, and supports projects with a primary focus on STBBI of public health relevance, including but not limited to HIV/AIDS, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human papillomavirus. 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 disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS and STBBI is highly encouraged.

In alignment with CIHR's commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in the research system, the Research Initiative champions EDI as a means to support excellence in research, training and knowledge mobilization. Therefore, we encourage people from diverse backgrounds, including groups underrepresented in science such as women and racial and ethnic minorities, to apply.

This Priority Announcement will prioritize funding for research on HIV/AIDS and/or STBBI aligned with the CIHR HIV/AIDS Research Initiative: Strategic Plan (2022-2027) in the following research areas:

• Improving health equity by advancing research to understand and address determinants of health, new models of care, or sexual and reproductive health for people living with or at risk of HIV/AIDS and STBBI; or
• Accelerating discovery and innovation by advancing research on innovative technologies for testing and surveillance, interactions among infections and co-morbidities, or design and development of next-generation interventions.

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:

• 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.

More information on the research priorities of CIHR-INMHA can be found on their website.

The mission of the CIHR-Institute of Population and Public Health (IPPH) is to improve the health of populations and promote health equity in Canada and globally through research and its application to policies, programs, and practice in public health and other sectors.

The CIHR Institute for Population and Public Health (CIHR-IPPH) will fund applications that are relevant to their mandate, relevant to CIHR’s definition of population health research (pillar 4 research), focused on meaningfully improving equitable health1 outcomes and aligned with one or more of the following IPPH strategic research areas:
• Global Public Health: applications with a primary focus on “global health research” (as per CIHR’s definition) that improves global health equity for all.
• Moving Upstream (structural determinants of health): applications with a primary focus on interdisciplinary research into the structural determinants of health to meaningfully address the root causes and systems that create health inequities in Canada and globally.

Under the leadership of the CIHR Institute of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes (CIHR-INMD) and funded through Budget 2021 as part of the 100 Years of Insulin: Accelerating Canadian Discoveries to Defeat Diabetes initiative, funding will be provided for an application focused on improving health and resilience, models of care, and self-management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in youth and young adults (YYA) living with or at risk of T2D that are disproportionally impacted, such as in Indigenous communities or in racialized, ethnocultural and low SES communities.

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:

• Oral Health: research that demonstrates alignment with the National Oral Health Research Strategy
• IMHA General Mandate

The purpose of this funding is to support Northwatch’s participation in the CNSC's Environmental Non-Governmental Organization Forum.

The objective of this project is to expand the reach and ensure the upkeep of an online tool designed to help Quebec residents and small businesses identify cost-effective, energy-efficient solutions to replace oil, natural gas, or electric (baseboard) heating systems in small residential and commercial buildings.

This project includes providing individual counselling, public education, and outreach activities tailored to those impacted by sexual misconduct. To maximize accessibility, programming will be delivered through a wide range of formats including in-person, phone, virtual, and direct outreach. This centre will leverage its expertise and knowledge regarding sexual violence to educate, support, liaise and advocate for those harmed and impacted by sexual misconduct. They also provide services in English and French.
