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 Indigenous Research Chair in Nursing initiative supports nurses of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous ancestry to conduct research in Indigenous Health Nursing, furthering the development of knowledge and best and wise practices in the area of nursing practice, education, research and administration. In 2019, following the Chair: Indigenous Research Chairs in Nursing competition, six Chairs across Canada (Quebec, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Manitoba) were granted $985,000 over five years in funding. With additional funds now available, CIHR has decided to extend the funding to these Chairs through directed grants. The total amount available is six (6) grants of $200,000 each, with a funding start date of October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026. This funding will support the continuation of their research as Indigenous Research Chairs in Nursing, while CIHR undertakes the work for the relaunch of this initiative.

The objective is to facilitate the SDs continued participation as an active researcher

This award was established to recognize the excellence of cancer research being conducted in Canada. This award will be given annually to the highest-ranking Early Career Researchers in the Project Grant competition that fall within the CIHR Institute of Cancer Research (CIHR-ICR) mandate:
• 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.

Dr. Menten's outstanding career as a biomedical scientist led to many achievements including important co-discoveries relating to blood sugar, haemoglobin and kidney functions. In 1913, a collaboration with Leonor Michaelis on the behaviour of enzymes resulted in the Michaelis-Menten equation, a biochemical concept so fundamental that it is familiar to first-year science students.
This Maud Menten New Principal Investigator Prize was established to recognize and support the research excellence of Canadian Early-Career Investigators working within the mandate of the CIHR Institute of Genetics (CIHR-IG).
This prize is a supplemental grant to support research and must be used according to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Application Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Application Administration Guide. . The prize is not a personal award and is non-renewable.

The CIHR Institute of Gender and Health (CIHR-IGH) will fund applications that are relevant to its mandate and research priorities, as described in our new Research Priority Plan, and that are aligned with at least one of the following research areas.
Research Areas:
1. Advancing intersectionality in sex and gender science (1 grant)
2. Understanding sex and gender mechanisms and processes (1 grant)
3. Sex and gender science for health equity in priority communities (2 grants)

Sport science has traditionally centered on male athletes, either ignoring, or extrapolating findings to female athletes. Focusing on sex as a biological variable and gender as a social variable, this priority announcement (PA) aims to address research gaps in understanding the health of female athletes in the context of organized sport participation.
This PA is the result of a partnership between the CIHR Institute of Gender and Health (CIHR-IGH) and the Institute of Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis (IMHA). For the purpose of this PA, sport is defined as "Activities that develop specific skills, and that are organized around competition and governed by rules" and will contribute to the National Women's Health Research Initiative (NWHRI) which is advancing a coordinated research program that addresses under-researched and high-priority areas of women's health and will ensure new evidence improves women's and gender-diverse people's care and health outcomes. The NWHRI promotes an intersectional lens to research and care to tackle persistent gaps for all women, including for Indigenous, Black, and women impacted by racism, women with disabilities, and members of Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and additional sexually and gender diverse (2SLGBTQI+) communities.
This PA is designed to support research that considers physical, biological, reproductive, psychological, emotional, cultural, and/or spiritual health as it relates to female athletes participating in sports across the life-course together with gender and other intersecting variables. Examples of research topics that would be considered for this initiative include:
• Sex-related factors that differently or disproportionately influence health outcomes of female athletes participating in sports.
• Impact of sports participation on puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum health, menopause, aging, and/or other sex-specific health outcomes among female athletes.
• Identification of unique health experiences of female athletes participating in sport with intersecting variables including ethnicity, (dis)ability, age, sexual orientation, and gender (including gender identity inclusive of trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and other gender diverse identities; gender relations; gender roles; and/or institutionalized gender dimensions);
• Identification of strategies to manage, support, and promote mental health and psychological safety of female athletes in the context of sport participation.
