Grants and Contributions

The objectives of the Team Grants in Diabetes Mechanisms and Translational Solutions are:

1. To elucidate previously undefined mechanisms that control the onset and progression of all types of diabetes mellitus and related complications and co-morbidities, with appropriate consideration of sex as a biological variable and gender as a social determinant of health.
2. To develop new translational solutions aimed at prevention, treatment, and delivery of care for people living with diabetes.

The Canada Graduate Scholarships-Master’s (CGS M) Program helps develop research skills and assist in the training of highly qualified personnel by supporting students who demonstrate a high standard of achievement in undergraduate and early graduate studies.

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 provide recognition and funding to academic researchers;
• To provide a reliable supply of highly skilled and qualified researchers.

.
• To support an outstanding research program that will enhance women's brain health through the study of cognitive aging and associated disorders.
• To build capacity for research on brain health and aging that accounts for sex and gender.
• To foster the mobilization of that research into gender- and sex-responsive policies and interventions that improve brain health and promote wellness in aging.

The specific objective(s) of this funding opportunity are to:
• Support the development of structured, openly accessible and sustainable training and mentoring platforms that build capacity in areas of major health issues, scientific opportunities and critical gaps by:
o Supporting the engagement of trainees and ECRs in collaborative research across institutions, disciplines, jurisdictions and sectors;
o Incorporating diverse training approaches, including experiential training opportunities;
o Including diverse and inclusive paradigms of research training and mentoring (e.g. Indigenous Ways of Knowing) in a meaningful and culturally-safe manner; and
o Implementing recruitment, training, and mentoring strategies to attract high-caliber trainees and ECRs, including embedding and applying Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) best practices.
• Support the development of skills that increase the likelihood of employability and career prospects of trainees and ECRs across sectors, by integrating training on:
o Approaches to advance rigorous and responsible research (e.g., sex- and gender-based analysis (SGBA), research data management, research involving Indigenous Peoples, ethics, unconscious bias);
o Grant/proposal writing, budgeting, and peer review;
o Professional development skills (including transferrable skills, such as communication, analytical thinking, problem solving, project management, leadership, etc.);
o Best practices in knowledge translation and implementation science; and
o Diverse career options and opportunities available across the different sectors (private/for profit, public and not-for-profit).
