Grants and Contributions

This 27-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19 through systemic change. Women’s Hostels Inc. (Nellie’s) will achieve this by 1) creating an advisory committee, 2) holding a series of civic engagement training workshops for equity seeking women, and 3) creating a network of women, supported by a group of mentors, to lead neighbourhood-based working groups in the Greater Toronto Area.

At the end of the project, the organization will have established a network of diverse women leaders from four high-needs neighbourhoods in the Greater Toronto Area. This network will increase women’s representation at decision making tables and accelerate systemic change by bringing community concerns to the attention of city decision makers.

The project will bring together an Advisory Committee, with members from the Violence Against Women Network (VAWN), local Community Health Centers and the City of Toronto. The project will build on the success of Ottawa’s City for All Women’s Initiative (CAWI) community advocacy model, with CAWI providing support and guidance throughout the life of the project. The effectiveness of this advocacy for systemic change project will be carefully documented through ongoing evaluation.

This 27-month project supports a feminist response to and recovery from the current impact of COVID-19 through systemic change. To achieve this, Partance, Centre d'emploi pour femmes inc. plans to support small- and medium-sized enterprises in the Central Quebec region to develop healthy, inclusive strategies, free from discrimination and intimidation, to facilitate and increase women’s participation in three highly male-dominated sectors: construction, industrial metal manufacturing and information technology. More specifically, Partance plans to design and promote inclusive human resource policies and practices among employers to guide them in recruiting, onboarding and especially in retaining women in jobs, and to implement effective human resource practices in their companies. During implementation of its project, Partance will take account of initiatives funded by Emploi-Québec for supporting employers in human resources management and implementing inclusive practices, in order to avoid possible duplication.

By the end of the project, the organization will have helped eliminate systemic barriers by promoting inclusive policies and practices, by changing persistent and harmful gender norms and attitudes and by expanding networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change in support of women’s equality.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:
• Promote the career development of mid-career investigators from Canadian academic institutions in vaccine research for infectious diseases;
• Create new knowledge in vaccine research for emerging threats through a mutually beneficial exchange of expertise between Canadian mid-career investigators and CEPI, and support the mobilization of the knowledge created to relevant knowledge users and other stakeholders; and
• Position mid-career Canadian investigators as international leaders in vaccine research for infectious diseases.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:

• Promote the career development of mid-career investigators from Canadian academic institutions in vaccine research for infectious diseases;
• Create new knowledge in vaccine research for emerging threats through a mutually beneficial exchange of expertise between Canadian mid-career investigators and CEPI, and support the mobilization of the knowledge created to relevant knowledge users and other stakeholders; and
• Position mid-career Canadian investigators as international leaders in vaccine research for infectious diseases.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:
• Support high quality programs of population health intervention research that contribute to new knowledge to improve health and health equity across the life course. A program of research outlines multiple research projects that are conceptually linked and implemented over several years, based on an analysis of gaps in current knowledge in the field, especially gaps of importance to knowledge users engaged in relevant policies and programs in public health and other sectors.
• Stimulate the application of innovative theories, methods and approaches in research and knowledge translation that promote reciprocal learning within and between countries. This includes low-, middle- and/or high-income countries.
• Catalyze interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral collaborations between researchers and knowledge users that contribute to evidence-informed decision-making and use of knowledge by public health and other sectors.
• Support and strengthen the ability of the research community to respond with actionable evidence to emerging or re-emerging public health concerns that could impact the health and well-being of Canadians.
• Mentor the current and next generation of population and public health researchers (in particular post-doctoral fellows and early career researchers), practitioners and policy makers from a range of disciplines and sectors.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:
• Enable scientists in different countries to build an effective collaboration on a common interdisciplinary research project based on complementarities and sharing of expertise, with a clear benefit for patients; and
• Use Social Sciences and Humanity Research to improve the implementation of solutions for those living with a rare disease.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:

• Promote the career development of mid-career investigators from Canadian academic institutions in vaccine research for infectious diseases;
• Create new knowledge in vaccine research for emerging threats through a mutually beneficial exchange of expertise between Canadian mid-career investigators and CEPI, and support the mobilization of the knowledge created to relevant knowledge users and other stakeholders; and
• Position mid-career Canadian investigators as international leaders in vaccine research for infectious diseases.

The IHDCYH Talks Video Competition is expected to:
• Improve knowledge translation and help demonstrate the impact that evidence can and does have on maternal, reproductive, child and youth health in Canada.
