Grants and Contributions

he objective of the competition is to profile research and ideas within IHDCYH’s mandate to improve knowledge translation and help demonstrate the impact that evidence can and does have on family, reproductive, child and youth health in Canada.

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 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 Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships Program aims to attract and retain top-tier postdoctoral talent, both nationally and internationally, to develop their leadership potential and to position them for success as research leaders of tomorrow, positively contributing to Canada’s economic, social and research-based growth through a research-intensive career.

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 Doctoral Foreign Study Award (DFSA) is expected to:
Provide recognition and funding to students early in their academic research career, providing them with an opportunity to gain research experience while abroad (outside of Canada); and
provide a reliable supply of highly skilled and qualified researchers

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to create and implement a national Coordinating Centre for the Canadian Research Initiative in Substance Misuse (CRISM) Network to:

• Augment capacity for and enhance coordination of the CRISM Network’s national substance use research, training and capacity building, and knowledge mobilization activities, while allowing for flexibility to meet shifting demands and needs;
• Implement a Network governance structure and create transparency and accountability in decision making and governance;
• Provide guidance and coordination efforts for diverse training and capacity building needs, including mentoring, within the Network that leverage the national expertise and infrastructure of CRISM;
• Enhance the capacity for knowledge mobilization of national and jurisdictional CRISM endeavors;

• Collaborate with the CRISM Indigenous Engagement Platform to support the engagement of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples, including Urban Indigenous communities, in substance use research, knowledge mobilization and capacity development; and
• Strengthen research excellence and ensure maximum research impact through consideration of diverse biological and/or socio-cultural identity factors in the activities of the Coordinating Centre, including diverse research, training, and knowledge mobilization methods such as those based in Indigenous ways of knowing.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

1. Promote research independence and academic research career readiness of highly qualified post-doctoral researchers, clinicians and PhD-holding research associates belonging to specific underrepresented groups;
2. Increase the number of funded researchers from specific underrepresented groups conducting excellent research who secure their first independent research faculty position in a Canadian academic, health system or research institution; and
3. Provide funded researchers from specific underrepresented groups with early career support to enhance their probability of future success in obtaining independent research funding and launching successful research faculty careers in Canada that will contribute to the creation and/or use of health-related knowledge to improve the health of Canadians.

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.
