Grants and Contributions

Support early career investigators in initiating and conducting independent research in the area of maternal reproductive, child and youth health with the goal of building research capacity in this important health research area.

.
• Facilitate the development of partnerships between Dutch and Canadian type 2 diabetes researchers to support the development of the Netherlands-Canada Type 2 Diabetes Consortium.

The Human Immunology Research Teams are expected to:
•Generate new scientific knowledge that will advance our understanding of human immunology as it relates to autoimmune diseases, with appropriate consideration of sex-related mechanisms, in order to improve the health of Canadians living with autoimmune diseases.
•Leverage the Standardization Core by encouraging collaboration with the Core and utilization of the Core’s research methodologies where possible.
•Develop and strengthen research capacity by providing training opportunities to the next generation of human immunology researchers in the field of autoimmune diseases.

The ICS Program is designed to foster community development by providing grants and awards to individuals and organizations for the purposes of:

• Enabling research and knowledge translation activities where the circumstances fall outside of CIHR's current suite of funding programs

Establish the infrastructure, capacity and partnerships necessary to develop and ultimately conduct an Indigenous-driven I-HeLTI DOHaD Intervention Cohort Research Study, including:
Recruiting women, both preconception and during pregnancy, their infants and the fathers;
Designing an intervention to develop, conduct and evaluate interventions for and with women and men during preconception, pregnancy and, for infants, during the postnatal period to substantially reduce the prevalence of NCDs;
Conducting evaluative and mechanistic studies that will explain the effect of the selected interventions on outcomes, including epigenetic and economic analyses of interventions; and
Developing governance processes, including research data management practices.
Develop cross-community collaborations that will provide a multi-disciplinary learning platform and training environment for early career researchers and trainees;
Generate evidence that will guide policy and other decision making, and identify opportunities for future research and interventions as part of a longer-term strategy for NCD prevention;
Decrease the incidence of risk factors for later-life NCDs by targeting early exposures and early development, particularly related to women and men’s health preconception, during pregnancy, early life and in early childhood.

This funding opportunity is expected to:

Establish a limited number of ambitious, innovative, multi-national and multi-disciplinary collaborative research projects that will add value to the respective research areas.
