• The CIHR Institute of Infection and Immunity (CIHR-III) will fund applications that are determined to be specifically relevant to their mandate with a primary focus on biomedical research in which the objective and aims are directed towards building foundational knowledge in immunology and/or infectious diseases. This priority announcement will prioritize funding for research in the following research areas:
o Infection:
¿ Zoonotic or vector-borne transmission of pathogens in the context of Global Climate Change;
¿ Understanding functional genomics and/or molecular epidemiology of emerging/re-emerging pathogens;
¿ Resistance to fungal infections and/or the role of bacteriophages in combatting antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
o Immunity:
¿ Immune mechanisms involved in the development of trained innate immunity;
¿ Immune mechanisms involved in the development and maintenance of tissue-specific immunity;
¿ Metabolic regulation of immune cells and processes (immunometabolism).
• Should there be no eligible applications relevant to the research areas identified above, III will fund applications that are relevant to its mandate with a primary focus on biomedical research in which the objective and aims are directed towards building foundational knowledge in immunology and/or infectious diseases.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Support the growth of emerging research foci and priorities that have the potential to advance the health and wellness of youth in Canada;
• Support the development of collaboration, both within the research community as well as with knowledge users, policy makers, youth, and other key partners, that will enhance interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral approaches to research and knowledge mobilization; and
• Build capacity, both in terms of the researcher career pathway, and the engagement of youth throughout the research process to enhance youth health research.

The Centre for Research on Pandemic Preparedness and Health Emergencies will provide multi-year funding for applications that have a primary research objective on preventing, preparing for, responding to, and recovering from existing and future pandemics and other health emergencies. While all relevant research applications within this scope are eligible, projects that focus on the prevention of and/or recovery from pandemics and health emergencies are strongly encouraged.

In addition, projects that include at least one of the following topics/themes are also encouraged:

• Clinical, population health or health systems research
• Knowledge Mobilization
• Effect of social, cultural, environmental, structural and/or biological determinants of health or health equity on prevention and / or recovery
• Research priorities identified by First Nation, Inuit, Métis and/or Urban Indigenous communities
• Evaluation of effective science communications and/or knowledge mobilization activities related to prevention and/or recovery
• Evaluation of systems that enable effective and efficient prevention, and/or recovery

*For the purpose of this Priority Announcement, a health emergency is defined as:

A present or imminent event or phenomenon, of a temporary, acute nature, with actual or potential significant negative impacts on human health, resulting in a serious disruption of the functioning of a community; and/or the declaration of a state of emergency by a municipal, provincial/territorial, federal and/or Indigenous government, or international organization with a health research mandate, and which requires prompt research action to protect and strengthen human health
