The specific objective of this funding opportunity is:

• To catalyze and support research efforts of Canadian researchers to use the available CLSA data in order to better understand how biological, medical, psychological, social, lifestyle and/or economic aspects of people’s lives have an impact on both maintaining health and the development of disease and disability as people age.

The aim of this funding opportunity is to advance collaborative partnerships with communities focused on implementation science and intervention research to reduce the transmission and health impacts of infectious and congenital syphilis.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Advance community-centred approaches to conducting implementation science and intervention research by establishing meaningful partnerships between communities most affected by rising rates of syphilis — particularly Indigenous, those in the Prairies and rural, remote and isolated communities — and health researchers from academic or other research institutions;
• Accelerate knowledge mobilization across the continuum of care between populations that are disproportionately affected and health care providers, community organizations, decision/policy makers and researchers by supporting the co-creation, synthesis, application and sharing of research findings; and
• Improve health equity by conducting research that addresses the systemic, social and behavioural causes of health inequities in our health system that have contributed to the rise in syphilis within specific populations including Indigenous and rural, remote and isolated communities.

The specific objective of this funding opportunity is:

• To provide entry for trainees to the SPA 2024 program to trainees interested in the area of: Ageism in Health Research, Delivery, and Outcomes in Older Adults.

• The CIHR HIV/AIDS and STBBI Research Initiative (RI), under the leadership of the CIHR Institute of Infection and Immunity (CIHR-III), is responsible for funding research on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV), chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and human papilloma virus (HPV). This funding is provided across all CIHR research themes: biomedical research, clinical research, health services research and social, cultural, environmental and population health research.
• Research that focuses on key populations disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS and STBBI is highly encouraged.
• In alignment with CIHR's commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in the research system, the RI champions EDI as a means to support excellence in research, training and knowledge mobilization. Therefore, we encourage people from diverse backgrounds, including groups underrepresented in science such as women and racial and ethnic minorities, to apply.
• This priority announcement will prioritize funding for research on HIV and/or STBBI aligned with the CIHR HIV/AIDS Research Initiative: Strategic Plan (2022-2027) in the following research areas:
o Improving health equity by advancing research to understand and address determinants of health, new models of care, or sexual and reproductive health for people living with or at risk of HIV/AIDS and STBBI; or
o Accelerating discovery and innovation by advancing research on innovative technologies for testing and surveillance, interactions among infections and co-morbidities, or design and development of next-generation interventions.
• Should there be no eligible applications relevant to the research areas identified above, applications must be in alignment with the strategic directions of the CIHR HIV/AIDS Research Initiative: Strategic Plan (2022-2027) to be funded.

• 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 IHSPR. Health services and policy research with equity-focused contributions is encouraged.
• This prize is a supplemental grant to support research and/or knowledge mobilization and must be used according to the CIHR Application Administration Guide. The prize is non-renewable.
