Grants and Contributions

The Health System Impact Fellowship is expected to:
• Support impact-oriented career paths and elevate the career readiness of PhD trainees and post-doctoral fellows studying HSPR or related fields by supporting experiential learning opportunities in health system and related organizations outside of the traditional university environment and enriched competency development (e.g., leadership, project management);
• Expand and enrich the traditional doctoral and post-doctoral training environment by engaging health system and related organizations in preparing a cadre of promising doctoral trainees and post-doctoral fellows for successful careers in academic and applied health system settings; and
• Provide health system and related organizations with direct opportunities to realize and harness the benefits that research-trained individuals can bring to such organizations for improved decision-making.

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

To be eligible to the competition, applications must be co-led by Canadian and African researchers and address all objectives:

• Provide rapid evidence to inform clinical and health system management and public health response, and/or decision-making and planning within and across jurisdictions in Canada and internationally;
• Undertake robust, multi-country cross learning, and comparative research (including in collaboration with other international researchers where appropriate) on:
o the safety and real-world effectiveness of medical or other countermeasures deployed* (including vaccines and therapeutics) to treat and/or prevent monkeypox infections in people in Canada and globally; and
o the underlying serological histories and transmission dynamics of the current monkeypox outbreaks in Canada and globally (including time of exposure and transmission during asymptomatic phase, mechanisms of human-to-human transmission, and key risk factors for infection and transmission);
• Align with and contribute to the WHO Global Clinical Platform for monkeypox and other international monkeypox surveillance and research coordination activities by:
o adopting WHO case investigation and reporting forms;
o developing robust study protocols that can be integrated and harmonized with international clinical datasets; and
o contributing to global real-time sharing and analyses of research findings across different study contexts
*Please note that medical countermeasures against monkeypox (including vaccines, drugs and other therapeutic agents) will not be provided by the Government of Canada for research supported through this funding opportunity.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Mobilize knowledge produced by the MHITEY teams to generate awareness, inform decision making and facilitate changes to policy and practice related to mental health in the early years;
• Identify and foster opportunities for collaboration, peer learning and knowledge exchange across the MHITEY teams, the Mental Health Promotion – Innovation Fund projects and other relevant stakeholders, and;
• Co-develop and implement a performance measurement approach with the MHITEY teams to amplify and capture impact.
