Grants and Contributions

Integration: Applications that clearly articulate how sex and/or gender will be integrated into research designs and approaches (e.g., designs that test hypotheses related to the effects of sex and/or gender; studies focused on similarities and differences within or between groups of women, girls, men, boys or gender-diverse people, studies that explicitly use male and/or female animal/tissue or cell models to explore sex-based mechanisms).
Innovation: Applications that foster innovative approaches to sex, gender and health research (e.g., applications that develop, assess and/or enhance theories and conceptual frameworks that underpin research or that contribute to methods and measurement tools).
In determining relevancy, IGH considers whether the application is relevant to the mission of IGH and whether the proposal has a substantive focus on sex and/or gender (i.e., sex and/or gender are an integral aspect of the applicant's research question(s) and research design). In determining whether a proposal has a substantive focus, IGH considers:

Does the proposed research focus on groups or populations with an explicit emphasis on how sex and/or gender affect outcomes? In studies that focus only on women/females or men/males, does the proposed research provide an explicit rationale for this approach?
Does the proposed research include an explanation of how sex and/or gender are being conceptualized and applied in the study?

Transform HIV biomedical and clinical research in Canada into a collaborative, interdisciplinary model of knowledge creation and application through the funding of innovative research programs; create an inclusive and sustainable pipeline of HIV research capacity from across disciplines, sectors, and perspectives (e.g., HIV basic scientists, clinical investigators, knowledge users, community members, and/or people at risk and/or living with HIV); effectively translate knowledge into clinical and/or commercial applications which contribute to the design, development and evaluation of research strategies; and create a critical mass of technical and scientific expertise in Canada that engages meaningfully with one another and with relevant national stakeholders, and participates in international research efforts.

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 purpose of the Secretariat on Responsible Conduct of Research (SRCR) Education and Training Support (SETS) grant is to provide funding to help with the costs of developing and delivering an education and/or training activity (e.g. workshops, webinars, online education, conferences, etc.). The SETS grant contributes to the costs of activities such as workshops, webinars, online education, and conferences that advance understanding of the Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans (TCPS) and/or the Tri-Agency Framework: Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR Framework).

The objective of the Secretariat on Responsible Conduct of Research (SRCR) with this Travel Grant is to promote RCR and to provide researchers, faculty, graduate students and institutional administrators responsible for Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) from Canadian institutions with an opportunity to engage and learn more about RCR from an international perspective. As with previous SRCR travel grants, attendees will have the opportunity to learn the state of progress of research integrity across the globe, discuss RCR challenges and emerging topics, and exchange ideas and experience with national and institutional leaders, policy makers, research funders, professional societies, journal editors, publishers, researchers, educators, administrators, and students. Attendees will also be in a position to disseminate the knowledge and best practices gathered during the conference to enhance their institutions’ understanding of RCR and build on their existing RCR curriculum.
