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 is designed to support research that reduces the burden of breast cancer on individuals and families through prevention strategies, screening, diagnosis, effective treatment, psycho-social support systems, and palliation.
• This priority announcement will fund research in the following research area:
o Breast Cancer Research

The 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 (individually and in combination) the biological, medical, psychological, social, lifestyle and/or economic aspects of people’s lives have an impact in both maintaining health and in the development of disease and disability as people age.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Empower and support communities and researchers to collaboratively adapt, implement and evaluate healthy cities interventions with the ultimate goals of maximizing the success, long-term sustainability, health and equity-promoting potential of interventions
• Build capacity among knowledge users and implementers to continually monitor and improve urban environments to meet the needs of people of all ages, abilities, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds

The objective of this funding opportunity is to build capacity for leadership in patient-oriented research through meaningful and culturally safe practices by:

• Creating opportunities for non-governmental Canadian health systems or related organizations to embed patient-oriented research and related principles, practices and findings within their mandate, policies, and/or activities; and
• Equipping implementation specialists with the relevant knowledge and skills needed to increase the uptake of patient-oriented research and related principles, practices and findings within the Canadian health system.

The specific objective of this funding opportunity is:

• To provide entry for trainees to the SPA 2023 program to trainees interested in the area of longer-living older adults.

The overarching objective of this funding opportunity is to address the pressing needs of underserved youth populations, and their caregivers/families, in accessing equitable mental health and substance use services, through research on standards in various settings.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:
• Contribute to the evidence base on standards or guiding principles for mental health and/or substance use health services across diverse settings;
• Enable a Learning Health Systems approach for the delivery of mental health and substance use health services for youth, where standards can be continuously measured and adapted to meet the needs of the populations served;
• Mobilize evidence to inform policy and decision-making on the development of pan-Canadian standards in mental health and substance use health;
• Facilitate effective and meaningful engagement of knowledge users in research related to standards to ensure the perspectives of children, youth, young adults, and their caregivers/ families, among others, are considered in the development pan-Canadian standards.

• 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. This research, conducted by multidisciplinary teams in partnership with relevant stakeholders, aims to apply the knowledge generated to improve healthcare systems and practices.
• The aim of this investment is to build capacity for patient-oriented research by directly supporting projects led by Early Career Researchers (ECRs). As a partner in SPOR, CIHR will provide bridge funding for applications that are aligned with the SPOR vision, the SPOR Patient Engagement Framework and the SPOR Capacity Development Framework.
