• This prize was established to recognize the excellence of cancer research being conducted in Canada. This Prize will be given annually to the highest ranking Early Career Researchers in the Project Scheme competitions that fall within the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mandate:
o ICR has a mandate to support research that reduces the burden of cancer on individuals and families through prevention strategies, screening, diagnosis, effective treatments, psycho-social support systems, and palliation.

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.

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

• Incorporating sex and gender into health research makes for better science that is more rigorous and more applicable to the needs of everybody. The CIHR Institute of Gender and Health (CIHR-IGH) will provide bridge funding for applications that are relevant to its mandate:
o CIHR-IGH mandate is to foster research excellence regarding the influence of sex and gender on health and to apply these findings to identify and address pressing health challenges facing men, women, girls, boys and gender-diverse people.
• These one (1) year operating grants afford Principal Investigators an opportunity to resubmit their research proposal without the loss of momentum, staff, or trainees.

The specific objective of this funding opportunity is to:

• Create new knowledge through the analysis of existing cohorts, data platforms and/or administrative datasets specific to reproductive, maternal, child, and/or youth health, and in turn improve health outcomes and inform population and public health decision making.
