Grants and Contributions

The CIHR Institute of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes (CIHR-INMD) will provide funding for applications in which the objectives and aims are determined to be largely and directly relevant to the INMD mandate as described below:
• CIHR-INMD supports research to enhance health in relation to diet, digestion, excretion, and metabolism; and to address causes, prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, support systems, and palliation for a wide range of conditions and problems associated with hormone, digestive system, kidney, and liver.

The CIHR Institute of Human Development, Child and Youth Health (CIHR-IHDCYH), will provide bridge funding for applications ¿that are relevant to the Institute's¿mandate:
• As a lifecycle-based Institute, IHDCYH has a broad mandate that covers defined time periods and a wide range of issues pertaining to human development: pre-conception; fertilization; embryonic and fetal development; the health of the mother and father; and the health and development of infants, children, and youth.

The CIHR Institute of Indigenous Peoples’ Health (CIHR-IIPH) and the CIHR Institute of Human Development, Child and Youth Health (CIHR-IHDCYH) will provide bridge funding for applications that are within their mandates and that focus on research to understand or prevent non-communicable diseases or improve health outcomes across the lifecycle for Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit or Métis) Peoples.

The CIHR Institute of Infection and Immunity (CIHR-III) will fund applications that are determined to be specifically relevant to its mandate and its 2021-2026 Strategic Plan, with a primary focus on biomedical research in which the objective and aims are directed towards building foundational knowledge in immunology and/or infectious diseases.

This Priority Announcement will prioritize funding for research in the following research areas:

• Infection:
o Zoonotic or vector-borne transmission of pathogens in the context of Global Climate Change;
o Understanding functional genomics and/or molecular epidemiology of emerging/re-emerging pathogens;
o Resistance to fungal infections and/or the role of bacteriophages in combatting antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
• Immunity:
o Immune mechanisms involved in the development of trained innate immunity;
o Immune mechanisms involved in the development and maintenance of tissue-specific immunity;
o Metabolic regulation of immune cells and processes (immunometabolism).

Should there be no eligible applications relevant to the research areas identified above, III will fund applications that are relevant to its mandate and its 2021-2026 Strategic Plan, with a primary focus on biomedical research in which the objective and aims are directed towards building foundational knowledge in immunology and/or infectious diseases.

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 multi-year funding to support 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* and fall within the following research areas:
• Behavioural sciences related to improving the uptake of public health recommendations and interventions (pharmaceutical or non-pharmaceutical) including in populations experiencing systemic inequities, conditions of marginalization, Indigenous Peoples and/or among populations who are historically under-served by public systems.
• Health Systems Research (including public health systems) focused on improving integration of research and practice, and/or developing capacity within the health system for actionable, equitable, and solution-oriented health research during health emergencies that is relevant, timely, and informed by practice, patients and/or communities. This focus aligns with the Strategy on Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) and the Institute of Health Services and Policy Research’s (IHSPR) Strategic Plan to advance the Quadruple Aim and Health Equity.
• Indigenous Health Research focused on health emergency preparedness and response and that promotes Indigenous community collaborations and communities’ right to self-determination.
• Infectious disease modelling using statistical, mathematical or computational approaches to inform decisions on disease prevention, surveillance, control and treatment including economic modeling.
• One Health – interdisciplinary and holistic approaches to prevent and address emerging or re-emerging zoonotic pathogens of pandemic potential.

The specific objective of this funding opportunity is to:

• Catalyze and support research efforts of Canadian researchers to use the available CLSA data in order to better understand how biological, medical, psychological, social, lifestyle and/or economic aspects of people’s lives have an impact on both maintaining health and the development of disease and disability as people age.

The specific objective of this funding opportunity is:

To provide entry to the SPA 2025 program to trainees interested in the area of: Training a Healthcare Workforce to Meet the Needs of Older Adults
