Grants and Contributions

The Project Grant program is expected to:
• Support a diverse portfolio of health-related research and knowledge translation proposals at any stage, from discovery to application, including commercialization;
• Promote relevant collaborations across disciplines, professions, and sectors; and
• Contribute to the creation and use of health-related knowledge.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:
• To provide recognition and funding to academic researchers;
• To provide a reliable supply of highly skilled and qualified researchers.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Advance the field of implementation science: Understand how to implement evidence-informed interventions in different urban contexts and populations so that they result in positive and equitable health outcomes in real-world settings. This includes understanding how specific interventions can be adapted to different regions, ages, cultures, genders, or conditions, and how the interventions can be scaled given unique social, political, economic, cultural, and geographical contexts.

• Build capacity in implementation science: Build capacity among researchers (including early career researchers) and implementers. This includes providing opportunity for linkage with other capacity-building efforts of the HCRI (e.g. the Healthy Cities Research Training Platform and HCRI Fellowships) and by fostering a network of “learning cities” that share and build on each other’s experience, support continuous improvement, and identify promising solutions for scalability.

• Spark interdisciplinary collaborations across sectors and jurisdictions: Build partnerships across sectors and jurisdictions to co-develop and implement projects in order to contribute to a sustained impact beyond the duration of the grant.

• Identify new solutions: Generate new knowledge on evidence-informed interventions that can be scaled in urban environments to promote health and health equity.

• Fill the knowledge gap and position Canada as a leader in implementation science: Make significant contributions to the field of healthy cities implementation science research and training including fostering international collaborations and knowledge sharing across Canada and internationally.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:
• To provide recognition and funding to academic researchers;
• To provide a reliable supply of highly skilled and qualified researchers.

• 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.
• As outlined in the SPOR Patient Engagement Framework, patient-oriented research refers to a continuum of research that engages patients as partners, focusses on patient-identified priorities and improves patient outcomes. This research, conducted by multidisciplinary teams in partnership with relevant stakeholders, aims to apply the knowledge generated to improve healthcare systems and practices.
• As a partner in SPOR, CIHR will provide bridge funding for fundable applications that are below the competition funding cut-off and aligned with the SPOR vision, the SPOR Patient Engagement Framework and the SPOR Capacity Development Framework. Categories are described in the Funds Available section.

The objective of this project is for Aqualitas Inc., a medical cannabis company, to obtain both the European Union – Good Manufacturing Processes (EU-GMP), and Israel Medical Cannabis – Good Agricultural Practices (IMC-GAP) certifications, in order to export their medical cannabis products into Germany, Poland, Australia, and Israel.

This project aims to help farmers and sector participants across Canada address mental health issues. The project will look to host a conference that brings together various stakeholders to discuss the challenges and opportunities in the farmer mental health movement.
