Grants and Contributions

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.

• Accelerate and facilitate dissemination of evidence-based information through an inventory function to provide equitable and inclusive access to research findings to diverse audiences across Canada, promoting health literacy.
• Contribute to the dissemination of the knowledge created by research in areas related to the National Dementia Strategy
• Foster impactful, equitable and accessible uptake of knowledge (including official language considerations) created through research, to inform policy development and/or promote implementation of evidence-based interventions.
• Increase collaborations and create linkages between a diversity of researchers and knowledge users in the brain health and cognitive impairment in aging field, including partners in research (e.g., Indigenous communities), and the public.

The Secretariat on Responsible Conduct of Research (SRCR), in conjunction with the Panel on Research Ethics (PRE) and the Panel on Responsible Conduct of Research (PRCR), administer a grant program to support events that complement their mandate to promote research ethics and the responsible conduct of research.

Through the Institute's programs, researchers address a wide range of health concerns related to infection and immunity including disease mechanisms, disease prevention and treatment, and health promotion through public policy.
