• This doctoral award aims to build capacity in global health research and excellence to accelerate global health equity for all. Specifically, the funding opportunity intends to advance CIHR’s Strategic Plan 2021-2031: A vision for a healthier future to pursue health equity through research (Priority D) and to drive progress on global health research (Priority D, Strategy 3). Furthermore, it draws on the CIHR Framework for Action on Global Health Research 2021-2026, recognizing that CIHR must work globally because today’s most pressing health problems, and many of the most effective strategies to prevent, contain, and address them, are global.
• The Institute of Population and Public Health (IPPH), and the Center for Research on Pandemic Preparedness and Health Emergencies (CRPPHE) will fund applications that align with their respective mandates and advance the following Global Health research areas:

o Globalization: Explaining patterns of health, health equity and well-being within a global context or as shaped by global economic, social, cultural, environmental or political factors.
o Health Equity: Improving the health of populations facing conditions of marginalization such as people living in poverty in low-middle income countries and Indigenous Peoples in multiple international settings.
o Neglected Conditions: Tackling the circumstances, conditions and diseases that disproportionately affect disadvantaged populations who are excluded from markets and society, including biomedical research on these diseases and conditions.
o Transnational Risks: Addressing health threats, opportunities, determinants or solutions that transcend political boundaries.
