Grants and Contributions

The Heart & Stroke Personnel Awards for Indigenous Scholars aim to promote strategic growth in heart and brain health science with Indigenous communities by supporting Indigenous students to pursue their post graduate studies.

The Canada Graduate Scholarships-Master’s (CGS M) Program helps develop research skills and assist in the training of highly qualified personnel by supporting students who demonstrate a high standard of achievement in undergraduate and early graduate studies.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to establish a foundation for Indigenous-led substance use research by creating and implementing an Indigenous Engagement Platform for the Canadian Research Initiative in Substance Misuse (CRISM) to:

• Expand the reach and impact of CRISM’s engagement with First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples, including Urban Indigenous communities across Canada, and serve as a bridge between the Regional Nodes, the CRISM Network and Indigenous communities;
• Inform, support and co-lead relevant activities of the CRISM Network Coordinating Centre and the Regional Nodes; and
• Champion Indigenous-led substance use research to ensure that First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples, including Urban Indigenous communities, can engage, lead and participate in substance use research in a meaningful and culturally safe environment that is founded in Indigenous ways of knowing, priorities, and values.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to provide seed funding to:
• build relationships among researchers, PWLE, communities, health care professionals and others with a view to developing inclusive, equitable and culturally safe iCTs;
• mobilize research collaborations aimed at identifying priorities for iCT research; and,
• develop new and transformative methods relevant to iCTs, with the potential to generate high impact results.

This Embedded ECR Award aims to advance the overall objectives of the HSI program. Additionally, this funding opportunity specifically aims to:

1. Support ECRs as they develop embedded research roles and programs that advance the methods of embedded research, build embedded research capacity within health system organizations and mentor emerging embedded researchers, and generate evidence-informed solutions for high-priority challenges within health system organizations.
2. Contribute to building a strong cadre of embedded researchers across the country that will play a role in transformative health system improvement that advances the Quadruple Aim and health equity.
3. Support the development of career pathways for a diverse cadre of embedded researchers within Canada’s health system.

The Travel Awards Funding Opportunity is expected:
• To provide travel funds to individuals in aid of research and knowledge translation activities consistent with the CIHR Initiative’s priorities or CIHR Institutes’ vision, mandate and strategic directions. In addition to this overarching objective, each participating Institute/Initiative has their own relevant Research Areas.
