The Barer-Flood Prize is named in honour of the leadership, vision and innovative contributions of the first two Scientific Directors of CIHR’s Institute of Health Services and Policy Research (CIHR-IHSPR), Morris Barer and Colleen Flood. In their roles as Scientific Directors, Dr. Barer and Dr. Flood made tremendous contributions towards advancing the field of health services and policy research in Canada, building a community of world-class researchers, and designing innovative new programs that foster evidence-informed decision making and improved health and health care for Canadians.

The Barer-Flood Prize is intended to recognize and support the research excellence of Canadian Senior-Career Investigators working within the mandate of CIHR-IHSPR and one or more of the Institute’s priority research area(s) listed in the section below.

Research Areas:

1. Innovations in how to organize, finance, manage and deliver health care that achieve the Quadruple Aim, improve equity, and are accountable to patients and the public, in one or more of the following areas:
   ¿ Integration of care (including integrated health care systems, organizations, and models of care; continuity of care; and/or integration of upstream prevention approaches within health care settings that address the social determinants of health).
   ¿ Primary care (in the context of health care delivery), and home, community, and long-term care.
   ¿ The health workforce (e.g., funding and remuneration, training and support, scopes of practice, interdisciplinary collaboration, and data systems for planning).

2. Implementation, evaluation and/or scale and spread of digital health solutions and/or data infrastructure, that aim to improve health and patient/provider experience outcomes.

3. Designing, implementing and/or evaluating anti-racist, anti-discriminatory, anti-ableist, inclusive, culturally safe, health care systems, organizations and/or models of care.

4. Advancing sustainable, climate-resilient and/or low-carbon health care systems, organizations, and models of care.

5. Advancing the theories, methods and approaches that underpin the science of HSPR. The primary focus of the research is on learning about and/or testing theories, methods and approaches and their broad applicability in health services and policy research.

This award was established to recognize the excellence of cancer research being conducted in Canada. This award will be given annually to the highest-ranking Early Career Researchers in the Project Grant competition that fall within the CIHR Institute of Cancer Research (CIHR-ICR) mandate:
• ICR has a mandate to support research that reduces the burden of cancer on individuals and families through prevention strategies, screening, diagnosis, effective treatments, psycho-social support systems, and palliation.

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 Centre for Research on Pandemic Preparedness and Health Emergencies (CRPPHE) is housed at CIHR with a mandate to grow Canada's research leadership in preparedness, prevention, response, and recovery from pandemics and public health emergencies, including by building and supporting Canadian research capacity in the field.

CRPPHE will offer funding for bridge grants to research projects that are aligned with the CRPPHE goal and objectives and the Interim Investment Plan and that have a primary research objective related to preparing for and/or responding to existing and future pandemics and other health emergencies*.
