The Evaluation Grants are expected to:

Develop relevant research capacity leading up to future TiC funding opportunities;
Inform the implementation or adoption of transitions in care activities within the health system to optimize outcomes of patients experiencing transitions in care by generating high-quality, real-world evidence;
Identify clear and actionable health system changes, relevant to transitions in care.

The TiC team grants are expected to:

Produce results that are applicable, adaptable and ready for equitable spread and scale by a health provider through implementation research that is relevant to patients, communities, and decision-makers;
Improve health outcomes, patient experience, effectiveness, and lower the cost of care within two (2) or more of the TiC focus areas through identifying, evaluating and implementing evidence-based and/or effective solutions, including eHealth solutions;
Build novel multi-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary collaborations and partnerships with individuals and organizations in Canada that have interest in transformative research in care transitions by promoting engagement, recognition and respect for health research expertise across an array of health disciplines, research pillars, and industry;
Build and promote relevant transitions in care research capacity, including training and early career development, by supporting teams that actively engage established researchers, early career investigators, trainees, and knowledge-users.

Incentivize multidisciplinary research teams and their healthcare and innovation partners to design, adopt, and evaluate interventions implemented into a healthcare delivery organization that enhance value-based care, health system sustainability, and health outcomes.
Support innovative process transformations that improve health outcomes and value for Canada’s healthcare investment.

Optimal Health System design to support fiscal and clinical efficiencies
What models of care in other jurisdictions have been effective in improving health outcomes, individual experience of care, reducing per capita costs and inequities? Such as accountable care style organizations, where a network of doctors and hospitals share responsibility for providing care to patients or provincial /localized models
How to improve transitions to and from hospitals and facilities to community based primary health care and community supports?
The spread and scale up of interventions that support population health improvement and reduction of health inequities. This could involve the scale up of successful projects that have worked on a smaller scale such as translating research in elder care in personal care homes.
To engage and evaluate the impact of patients as partners in health system redesign.
Performance management and economic evaluation to measure efficiency and effectiveness
Explore funding mechanisms and payment systems that meet patient needs, reduce barriers to collaboration and endeavour to fund the optimal mix of providers and/or organizations for the complexity of care provided.
Support the development of data and methods to support identification of cost effective programs to inform decisions, planning, resource allocation, program evaluation, and impact assessment. For example, economic evaluation methodologies such as cost effectiveness and return on investment analysis or role of surveillance across the continuum.
Redesign of community care to support continuity of care and reduced health system utilization
Determine how to best optimize service integration and coordination across community primary health care services with special attention to underserved or structurally disadvantaged populations and patients with complex needs. Populations of interest include Indigenous peoples, elderly and again adults, infants and children, new Canadians and individuals living in rural and remote communities.
Develop tools and capabilities to support Manitobans (and their health care providers) better manage their health, wellness and treatment.
Mental Health and Addictions services to support improved outcomes
Explore interprofessional models that integrate health and social services and physical and mental health care to improve coordination along the continuum of services from health promotion to management, treatment and acute care services.
Redesign of mental health and addictions services to support access to mild to moderate mental health services in primary care settings

The President’s Fund grants are intended to:

support organizations and initiatives whose goal is consistent with CIHR’s vision, mandate and strategic directions;
provide financial assistance for events that will increase CIHR’s visibility such as conferences, workshops or other events where the objectives of the event align with the interests of CIHR overall and not individual Institutes;
provide special, one-time grants to support health research activities where the request falls outside of CIHR’s regular funding programs.

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.
