Grants and Contributions

• 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 aim is to support promising research projects with the greatest potential for advancing knowledge and improving outcomes.
• Projects must directly and primarily focus on pediatric cancer and pediatric populations (children, adolescents and young adults living with cancer and their families).

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.

CIHR is committed to leverage the power of research to accelerate global health equity for all. The CIHR Framework for Action on Global Health Research 2021-2026 recognizes that CIHR must work globally because today’s most pressing health problems, and many of the most effective strategies to prevent, contain, and address them, are global. In alignment with this Framework, this priority announcement aims to grow global health research capacity and excellence.

Funding will be provided for applications that have a primary focus on global health research (as per CIHR’s definition) and that are relevant to one of the mandates below:
o Centre for Research on Pandemic Preparedness and Health Emergencies
o Institute of Gender and Health
o Institute of Population and Public Health

For the purpose of this PA, sport is defined as “Activities that develop specific skills, and that are organized around competition and governed by rules” and will contribute to the National Women's Health Research Initiative (NWHRI) which is advancing a coordinated research program that addresses under-researched and high-priority areas of women's health and will ensure new evidence improves women's and gender-diverse people's care and health outcomes.

The Mechanical Ventilator Milano provides a controlled supply of oxygen and air to the most severe adult COVID-19 patients.

Through this project, the international team has unused research funds provided by independent donors that they wish to commit towards research into prevention or response to Covid-19 or similar future pandemics.

• Bridge funding can be used at the NPAs discretion to catalyze work on their proposed project in the manner they feel best moves forward their research program, for example, collection of pilot data, demonstration of feasibility, or work to address peer review comments.

This award will be given annually to the highest-ranking Early Career Researchers in the Project competition that fall within the CIHR Institute of Cancer Research (CIHR-ICR) mandate:
o 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.
