Grants and Contributions

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to support a national Network that will:

Facilitate, through research and partnerships, the increase in reach, adaptation, and accessibility of successful patient-oriented primary and integrated health care innovations to new sites, new settings, and/or new populations;
Mobilize knowledge generated to inform and transform practice, clinical care, policy, and/or decision making toward optimal and equitable health outcomes;
Build capacity for the ongoing application of patient-oriented primary and integrated health care knowledge.

CIHR and other funding agencies have invested heavily in the establishment of cohorts, databases, cohort catalogues, and data platforms. As a result, many high-quality data sets exist that contain a wealth of information and have the potential to answer research questions that go beyond those for which the data were originally collected or for which the data has been used to date. Examples of such resources include, but are not limited to, the Maternal-Infant Research on Environmental Chemicals (MIREC) study, the Canadian Healthy Infant Longitudinal Development (CHILD) study, the Research Advancement through Cohort Cataloguing and Harmonization (ReACH) initiative, the Canadian Institute of Health Information (CIHI) Dynamic Cohort of Complex, High System Users and the Canadian Urban Environmental Health Research Consortium (CANUE). There is also the potential to link diverse datasets, thus enabling explorations of novel associations and interactions between human, environmental, social and clinical factors.
• The CIHR Institute of Human Development, Child and Youth Health (CIHR-IHDCYH) will provide funding for applications or parts of applications that use data from existing Canadian-based cohorts, databases, cohort catalogues, and data platforms, and are relevant to its mandate:
o As a lifecycle-based Institute, IHDCYH has a broad mandate that covers defined time periods and a wide range of issues pertaining to human development: pre-conception; fertilization; embryonic and fetal development; the health of the mother and father; and the health and development of infants, children and youth.

The Institute of Cancer Research (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. This priority announcement will fund research in the following research areas:

• Pediatric Cancer Research: to fund pediatric cancer research that can lead to better outcomes and healthier lives for pediatric cancer patients. To support promising research projects with the greatest potential for fighting pediatric cancers. Project must focus on pediatric cancer/pediatric populations.

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.
