Grants and Contributions

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:
• Improve the understanding of the causes, defining measures, and avenues for prevention, detection and management of sleep deprivation and insomnia, including in the context of health disparities, and Indigenous Peoples' health and wellness, through coordinated data collection and research activities across the CIHR research pillars to co-create new knowledge and technical and scientific expertise;
• Accelerate the iterative, bi-directional translation of research results and evidence into practice for improved health and wellness associated with poor sleep hygiene and insomnia;
• Develop, implement, evaluate, and validate interventions that foster improved sleep health and wellness as they relate to insomnia and sleep deprivation, evaluate outcomes of interventions, and accelerate the mobilization of research evidence of best, promising, and wise practices to bridge gaps between research outcomes and health impacts for the betterment of sleep; and
• Build, foster, and promote relevant sleep research capacity, including training, career development, and experiential opportunities through a high-quality, multidisciplinary capacity development and mentoring environment that actively engages trainees and researchers at all career stages and across ethnicities, including Indigenous investigators.

The Canada Graduate Scholarships-Doctoral (CGS D) Program provides financial support to outstanding eligible students pursuing doctoral studies in a Canadian university.

Canada’s Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) is a national coalition of federal, provincial and territorial partners (patients and informal caregivers, provincial health authorities, health centres, charities, philanthropic organizations, private sector, etc.) dedicated to the integration of research into care. Its vision is that by 2025, Canada will have demonstrably improved health outcomes and enhanced the health care experience for patients through the integration of evidence at all levels of the health care system.
