Grants and Contributions

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. - Supporting individuals and organizations whose goals are consistent with CIHR and its Institutes' vision, mandate and strategic directions. The ICS Program is not intended to support the direct cost of research (e.g., pilot projects, feasibility studies or operating grants), principal and co-investigator salaries or research equipment

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to support:

• planning activities, partnership development and to increase understanding of the health research landscape that will contribute to the advancement of research consistent with the mandate of CIHR; and
• dissemination events and activities that focus on the communication of health research evidence to the appropriate researcher or knowledge-user audiences, tailoring the message and medium as appropriate.

The specific objective(s) of this funding opportunity are to:

• Support Knowledge Sharing activities (WSC: #moreinformation) from ongoing or recently completed, community-engaged research projects that aim to improve the wellness of Indigenous Peoples in Canada from a gendered perspective, including how Indigenous concepts of gender affect wellness;
• Promote the use of culturally relevant Knowledge Sharing activities and approaches (WSC: #moreinformation) and/or arts-based methods (WSC: #moreinformation), among other possible Knowledge Sharing approaches, to share learnings about Indigenous Gender and Wellness;
· Encourage strengths- and distinctions-based Knowledge Sharing that will build lasting relationships and improve shared learning and understanding, application, and opportunity to increase wellness for Indigenous individuals and communities using a gendered lens;
• Bridge capacity (WSC: #moreinformation) of the next generation of Indigenous health researchers and community partners in Knowledge Sharing focused on Indigenous Gender and Wellness;
• Support the evaluation of Knowledge Sharing activities and approaches, to support ongoing learning with the goal to improve the wellness of Indigenous Peoples in Canada from a gendered perspective, including how Indigenous concepts of gender affect wellness

The Secretariat on Responsible Conduct of Research (SRCR), in conjunction with the Panel on Research Ethics (PRE) and the Panel on Responsible Conduct of Research (PRCR), administer a grant program to support events that complement their mandate to promote research ethics and the responsible conduct of research.

Contribution Agreement to support the Canadian Nuclear Society.

The purpose of the Special Opportunities Fund is to provide a small Grants and Awards budget ($150K per year) that can be used to support small collaborative and/or strategic initiatives that aren’t typically research projects requiring peer review, and therefore not aligned with our usual grants and awards competitions

The Project Grant program is expected to:
• Support a diverse portfolio of health-related research and knowledge translation proposals at any stage, from discovery to application, including commercialization;
• Promote relevant collaborations across disciplines, professions, and sectors; and
• Contribute to the creation and use of health-related knowledge.

The contribution supports SC’IȺNEW First Nation’s participation in the partner and stakeholder engagement process for the pre-feasibility and planning phases of a proposed national urban park in the Greater Victoria Region.

The Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA) are meant to nurture the interest of the students and fully develop their potential for a research career in the natural sciences and engineering. They are also meant to encourage students to undertake graduate studies in these fields. Students who would like to gain research experience in an academic setting, these awards can provide financial support through the hosting university. NSERC encourages qualified Aboriginal students to apply to this program.
