The CIHR Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health (CIHR-ICRH) has the broad mandate of supporting research on the heart, lung, brain (stroke), blood, blood vessels, critical and intensive care, and sleep.

This Priority Announcement (PA) is focused on measuring trends in outcomes over time in Canadians of all ages with conditions of the heart and of the circulatory system.
The proposed research should analyse trends over time in outcomes of Canadian populations with acute and non-acute conditions of the heart and circulation. Outcomes include but are not limited to mortality, morbidity and measures of quality of life. Research should leverage secondary use of existing national and/or provincial administrative health databases including, but not limited to, Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), Institute for clinical Evaluation (IC/ES) in Ontario, Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) and MED-ÉCHO in Quebec, and Institute of Health Economics (IHE) Data in Alberta.

For the purpose of this PA:

• Conditions of the heart include inherited and acquired arrhythmias and cardiomyopathies, as well as congenital and acquired structural and valvular heart disease.
• Conditions of the circulatory system comprise hypertension and atherosclerosis including familial hypercholesterolemia, as well as neurovascular diseases.
• Acute conditions include but are not limited to Sudden Cardiac Death.

The CIHR HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmitted and Blood-Borne Infections (STBBI) Research Initiative, under the leadership of the CIHR Institute of Infection and Immunity (CIHR-III), defines STBBI as infections that are transmitted primarily through exchange of body fluids during sexual contact and/or through blood, and supports projects with a primary focus on STBBI of public health relevance, including but not limited to HIV/AIDS, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human papillomavirus. This funding is provided across all CIHR research themes: biomedical research, clinical research, health services research and social, cultural, environmental and population health research.

Research that focuses on key populations disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS and STBBI is highly encouraged.

CIHR is committed to leverage the power of research to accelerate global health equity for all. The CIHR Framework for Action on Global Health Research 2021-2026 recognizes 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. In alignment with this Framework, this priority announcement aims to grow global health research capacity and excellence.
Funding will be provided for applications that have a primary focus on global health research (as per CIHR’s definition) and that are relevant to one of the mandates below:
• Institute of Population and Public Health (IPPH)
• Centre for Research on Pandemic Preparedness and Health Emergencies (CRPPHE)
