Grants and Contributions

The Project Grant program is expected to:
• Support a diverse portfolio of health-related research and knowledge translation proposals at any stage, from discovery to application, including commercialization;
• Promote relevant collaborations across disciplines, professions, and sectors; and
• Contribute to the creation and use of health-related knowledge.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:

Leverage Canadian-based research data sources and infrastructures to foster research concerning the health effects of cannabis use, including the effectiveness of medical cannabis in treating different conditions, and the harms and risks associated with non-medical use;
Generate and share new knowledge concerning prevalence, patterns, and contributing factors of cannabis use to answer cannabis-related health research questions specific to one of the research areas stated above; and
Develop a broader understanding concerning cannabis use, which may ultimately lead to guidance for therapeutic and recreational use, as well as for cannabis use disorder.

To be eligible to the competition, the application must address ALL objectives; the specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Include a large and robust serosurveillance study of children and youth that can inform research to understand the current state of natural and vaccine-based immunity in this population, and measures to best protect this vulnerable population in Canada;
• Harmonize data collection, and improve open and real-world data sharing with relevant knowledge-users in an accessible, useful and relevant format to support a timely and effective COVID-19 public health response within and across all jurisdictions in Canada as it relates to children and youth;
• Collaborate across Sites to establish resource and data sharing policies, increase efficiencies in research and related processes (including but not limited to ethics review; privacy considerations; contracts; informed-consent; common protocols; developing applications for trial funding; and consistent and valid patient-oriented outcomes), reduce duplication, and maximize research and surveillance activities related to COVID-19 infection and/or vaccination consequences of children and youth;
• Generate research evidence related to COVID-19 infection in diverse children and youth populations, including (but not limited to):
o Equity considerations;
o Health and wellness status (e.g., historically excluded or underserved populations, individuals with complex health needs and/or a disability);
o Sex and gender; and/or
o Racialized and Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit, Métis and Urban Indigenous Peoples) populations; and
• Provide research evidence to inform clinical and health system management and public health response, and/or decision-making and planning within and across jurisdictions in Canada and internationally.

The specific objective of this funding opportunity is to fund Collaborative Centres of HIV/AIDS Community-Based Research that:
• Coordinate HIV/AIDS Community-Based Research efforts between existing HIV/AIDS national organizational structures, researchers, and regional and/or provincial HIV/AIDS Community-Based Organizations;
• Build Community-Based research capacity across Canada, focusing on areas with underdeveloped HIV/AIDS CBR strengths;
• Provide infrastructure support to position HIV/AIDS community organizations and academic teams in order for them to develop strategic research programs that succeed in securing research funding through other opportunities; and
• Promote the creation and translation of new evidence that is relevant to communities so that it may positively impact the response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
