Grants and Contributions

The objectives of this funding opportunity are to:
1. Support Canadian registered charities or non-profit organizations with work in the area of aging in the mobilization and dissemination of knowledge to those who would benefit from being better informed Areas must be relevant to at least one of the CIHR Institute of Aging’s Strategic Research Directions.
2. Enhance the impact of available knowledge concerning the area of aging.

This supplement builds on the objectives of the first Operating Grant: Addressing Infectious and Congenital Syphilis in Canada with a specific focus on: • Enhancing community engagement in and capacity for research priority-setting to expand the reach and promote sustainability of syphilis research and knowledge mobilization activities.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:
• To provide recognition and funding to academic health research trainees;
• To provide a reliable supply of highly skilled and qualified researchers.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Support the growth of emerging research foci and priorities that have the potential to advance the health and well-being of youth in Canada,
• Support the development of collaboration, both within the research community, as well as with knowledge users, policy makers and other key partners, including youth, that will enhance interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral approaches to research and knowledge mobilization, and,
• Build capacity, both in terms of the researcher career pathway, and the engagement of youth throughout the research process to enhance youth health research.

The goal of the Data Analysis Grants is to use existing cohorts, data platforms and/or administrative datasets to advance healthy cities intervention research and implementation science specifically by addressing one or more of the following objectives:

• Evaluating the impact on health and health equity of interventions to the physical, social or policy environment (including health system–mediated interventions);
• Contributing analyses to directly inform the planning of physical, social or policy interventions with the purpose of improving urban population health or health equity;
• Addressing critical contextual questions related to the implementation of one or more interventions and scaling up (knowledge sharing) of evidence-based interventions (including health system-mediated interventions);
• Filling knowledge gaps that are critical for laying the foundation for future population health intervention research in urban areas. For example, increasing our understanding around how interventions may impact populations differentially according to gender, age, race, culture, ethnicity, income, or dis/ability;
• Developing and/or validating indicators and other data or evaluation tools that enable robust, comparable, replicable and equitable healthy cities intervention research and implementation science (including health system-mediated interventions).

The specific objective of this funding opportunity is to:

• Create new knowledge through the analysis of existing cohorts, data platforms and/or administrative datasets specific to human development, child, and/or youth health and in turn improve health outcomes and inform population and public health decision-making.
