Grants and Contributions

Through this 10-month project, Egale Canada will advance social, political, and economic equality for Canada’s 2SLGBTQI communities by addressing systemic barriers to inclusion and fostering advocacy capacity. This will be achieved by hosting the Pride 7 (P7) Summit, a platform for advocates, policymakers, and civil society leaders to develop actionable, evidence-based policy recommendations tailored to Canada’s domestic priorities.

Key activities include conducting pre-Summit consultations to equip Canadian organizations with tools and knowledge, hosting the Summit to align priorities and produce a comprehensive communiqué, and organizing post-Summit working meetings to operationalize recommendations and ensure their integration into ongoing Canadian advocacy initiatives. Monitoring and evaluation activities, including pre- and post-Summit surveys and focus groups, will assess knowledge gained, network growth, and the project’s overall impact.

This initiative, delivered in partnership with Dignity Network Canada and in collaboration with Égides, Oxfam Canada, Cooperation Canada, and other local organizations, policymakers, and partners, will strengthen Canadian 2SLGBTQI advocacy by providing practical tools and resources, fostering long-term collaboration, and addressing systemic barriers to equality.

The CIHR Institute of Gender and Health (CIHR-IGH) will fund applications that are relevant to its mandate and research priorities, as described in our new Research Priority Plan, and that are aligned with at least one of the following research 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).

Focusing on sex as a biological variable and gender as a social variable, this priority announcement (PA) aims to address research gaps in understanding the health of female athletes in the context of organized sport participation.
This PA is the result of a partnership between the CIHR Institute of Gender and Health (CIHR-IGH) and Sports Canada. 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 NWHRI promotes an intersectional lens to research and care to tackle persistent gaps for all women, including for Indigenous, Black, and women impacted by racism, women with disabilities, and members of Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and additional sexually and gender diverse (2SLGBTQI+) communities.
This PA is designed to support research that considers physical, biological, reproductive, psychological, emotional, cultural, and/or spiritual health as it relates to female athletes participating in sports across the life-course together with gender and other intersecting variables. Target research areas for this initiative include:
• Sex-related factors that differently or disproportionately influence health outcomes of female athletes participating in sports.
• Impact of sports participation on puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum health, menopause, aging, and/or other sex-specific health outcomes among female athletes.
• Identification of unique health experiences of female athletes participating in sport with intersecting variables including ethnicity, (dis)ability, age, sexual orientation, and gender (including gender identity inclusive of trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and other gender diverse identities; gender relations; gender roles; and/or institutionalized gender dimensions);
• Identification of strategies to manage, support, and promote mental health and psychological safety of female athletes in the context of sport participation.

Examples include, but are not limited to:
o one developmental period before and after age 18, or
o different developmental periods across generations (e.g. biological parent and fetus or offspring), or
o two (2) developmental periods in females related to puberty, child-bearing age and menopause.
• Sex and gender consideration should be integrated as appropriate.
