Grants and Contributions

• The CIHR Institute of Cancer Research (CIHR-ICR) has a mandate to support research that reduces the burden of cancer on individuals and families through prevention strategies, screening, diagnosis, effective treatments, psycho-social support systems, and palliation.
• This priority announcement (PA) is designed to support research that mitigates the challenges experienced along the cancer survivorship journey and improves the health outcomes for cancer survivors of all ages from the time of their cancer diagnosis until the time of their death or entry into end-of-life care. This PA will not fund research focused on improving end-of-life care.
• This PA supports research that creates new knowledge in cancer survivorship and/or moves it into practice in the health system, communities, and in the daily lives of Canadians.
• This PA will fund research in the following areas:
o Late & Long-Term Effects
o Survivors’ Experiences & Outcomes
o Models of Care

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Strengthen and build capacity within communities for CBR and KM that delivers impactful, useful, and timely results for populations at greatest risk of STBBI in Canada;
• Advance community-centred approaches to STBBI research by establishing meaningful partnerships between communities and researchers from academic or other research institutions; and
• Improve health equity by conducting, enabling and/or facilitating access to research that addresses structural, social, behavioural, and biomedical determinants of health for key populations affected by STBBI.

The Centre for Research on Pandemic Preparedness and Health Emergencies (CRPPHE) is housed at CIHR with a mandate to grow Canada’s research leadership in preparedness, prevention, response, and recovery from pandemics and public health emergencies, including by building and supporting Canadian research capacity in the field.

CRPPHE will offer funding for bridge grants to research projects that are aligned with the CRPPHE overall goal and objectives and which have a primary research objective related to preparing for and/or responding to existing and future pandemics and other health emergencies*.

*For the purpose of this Priority Announcement, a health emergency is defined as:

A present or imminent event or phenomenon, of a temporary, acute nature, with actual or potential significant negative impacts on human health, resulting in:

• A serious disruption of the functioning of a community; and/or
• The declaration of a state of emergency by a municipal, provincial/territorial, federal and/or Indigenous government, or international organization with a health research mandate, and that;
• Requires prompt research action to protect and strengthen human health.

Incorporating sex and gender into health research makes for better science that is more rigorous and more applicable to the needs of everybody. The CIHR Institute of Gender and Health (CIHR-IGH) will provide funding for applications that are relevant to its mandate:
• The CIHR-IGH mandate is to foster research excellence regarding the influence of sex and gender on health and to apply these findings to identify and address pressing health challenges facing men, women, girls, boys and gender-diverse people.

• The CIHR Institute of Cancer Research (CIHR-ICR) has a mandate to support research that reduces the burden of cancer on individuals and families through prevention strategies, screening, diagnosis, effective treatments, psycho-social support systems, and palliation.
• This priority announcement (PA) is designed to support research that prevents the onset of breast cancer (lowers cancer risk) and/or reduces the severity of the disease through early detection when it is at its most treatable.
• This PA supports research that creates new knowledge in breast cancer prevention and early detection and/or moves it into practice in the health system, communities, workplaces, and in the daily lives of Canadians.
• This PA will fund research in the following areas:
o Breast Cancer Prevention
o Early Detection of Breast Cancer
