Grants and Contributions

To be eligible to the competition, applications must address ALL objectives AND key design components:

• Establish central coordination and collaboration activities with Collaborating Sites located across Canada to increase the availability of high-quality and real-time evidence to support research on the effectiveness and relative safety of the COVID-19 vaccines in children and youth;
• Generate research evidence related to COVID infection and vaccination in diverse children and youth population(s), including (but not limited to):
o Equity considerations;
o Health and well-being status (e.g., historically excluded or underserved populations, individuals with complex health needs and/or a disability);
o Sex and gender; and/or
o Racialized and Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit, Métis and Urban Indigenous) populations.
• Identify children and youth populations at the highest and high risk for negative outcomes related to COVID-19 vaccination, and other determinant of health factors (e.g., social, economic, behaviour, etc.) that are associated with this increased greater risk.
• Harmonize data collection, and improve open and real-world data sharing with relevant knowledge-users in an accessible, useful and relevant format to support a timely and effective COVID-19 public health response within and across all jurisdictions in Canada as it relates to children and youth;
• Collaborate across Sites to establish resource and data sharing policies, increase efficiencies in research and related processes (including but not limited to ethics review; privacy considerations; contracts; informed-consent; common protocols; developing applications for trial funding; consistent and valid patient-oriented outcomes), reduce duplication, and maximize research and surveillance activities related to COVID-19 vaccination of children and youth; and
• Provide research evidence to inform clinical and health system management and public health response, and/or decision-making and planning within and all across jurisdictions in Canada and internationally.

The CIHR-IPPH Trailblazer Award is designed to recognize the exemplary efforts and activities of exceptional Canadian researchers at different career stages who have created a highly influential body of work that has had a substantial impact on the field of population and public health research. The award also recognizes the leadership, mentorship, and innovative contributions of the recipients.

The CIHR Institute of Aging Voluntary Sector Knowledge Mobilization Support Grant is a knowledge mobilization award that recognizes and supports up to two exceptional groups working in non-profit and voluntary sector in their knowledge mobilization efforts in the area of aging

This is a directed grant funding opportunity to the Health Research Training Platform (HRTP) Pilot grantees, for funding for patient engagement enhancement activities to be funded through the SPOR ring-fenced budget

The objective is to invest in research areas related to COVID-19 in the Fall 2021 project grant competition.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Generate data and evidence to monitor and evaluate the potential benefits, harms, and unintended consequences of alcohol regulation on population health and health equity;
• Generate intervention-related evidence to address the needs of knowledge users in this space, including for regulatory aims;
• Facilitate consideration and application of new evidence to inform ongoing and future development of policies, practices and programs related to alcohol;
• Support partnerships between researchers and knowledge users to rapidly inform policies and practices related to prevention, harm reduction, and treatment of alcohol use;
• Encourage evaluation of interventions, population health intervention research, and implementation science approaches that consider sub-populations and/or the biological, structural, and social determinants of problematic alcohol use.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

Generate relevant and timely evidence about the impacts of innovations in how healthcare systems and services are organized, delivered, governed, held accountable, financed, and/or funded on the Quadruple Aim goals and equity, and which innovations have the most potential for transformative impact in the Canadian context;
Respond to a policy and/or decision maker's evidence needs and help to inform decisions, policies or actions that advance achievement of the Quadruple Aim goals and health equity for all; and
Catalyze future transformative, collaborative research between researchers, policy and/or decision makers, healthcare providers and patients that can be pursued through CIHR's Project Grant competition or other relevant strategic funding competitions.
