Grants and Contributions

Through this 30-month project, the Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women (GAATW) Canada will conduct research that will improve GBV services for Indigenous, Black, racialized, non-status, and temporary status women, who work in precarious, informal, non-standard labour sectors. Through community-based research with GBV service providers and women who access their services in the Yukon, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, the project will determine the benefits and limitations of using an anti-trafficking framework to understand and address GBV experienced by marginalized, racialized women who work in under-examined informal, precarious, non-standard labour sectors. GAATW Canada will use its national voice to share the research findings among key stakeholders to effect change at legislative, policy, and practice levels and will share information with Women and Gender Equality Canada’s GBV Knowledge Centre.

• Canada’s Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) is a national coalition of federal, provincial and territorial partners (patients and informal caregivers, provincial health authorities, health centres, charities, philanthropic organizations, private sector, etc.) dedicated to the integration of research into care. Its vision is that by 2025, Canada will have demonstrably improved health outcomes and enhanced the health care experience for patients through the integration of evidence at all levels of the health care system.
• As outlined in the SPOR Patient Engagement Framework, patient-oriented research refers to a continuum of research that engages patients as partners, focusses on patient-identified priorities and improves patient outcomes.

The Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships Program aims to attract and retain top-tier postdoctoral talent, both nationally and internationally, to develop their leadership potential and to position them for success as research leaders of tomorrow, positively contributing to Canada’s economic, social and research-based growth through a research-intensive career.

Provide funded researchers from specific underrepresented groups with early career support to enhance their probability of future success in obtaining independent research funding and launching successful research faculty careers in Canada that will contribute to the creation and/or use of health-related knowledge to improve the health of Canadians.

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

• Support Phase 1 Award recipients in launching independent patient-oriented research careers, including careers in Indigenous Health Research, which will contribute to the improvement of health and/or the development of more effective health services and products;
• Support the continued development of patient-oriented research competencies and specific skills; and
• Establish a diversity of patient-oriented research leaders in Canada with supportive connections to other SPOR-funded entities, partners, leaders in Indigenous Health Research capacity development, and other stakeholders of patient-oriented research.
