Grants and Contributions

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.

The Eliminating Cervical Cancer in Canada funding opportunity is expected to:

• Maintain and/or strengthen a high quality research program for implementation science, clinical, health services, and population health research to achieve better clinical, economic, and population health outcomes related to the elimination of cervical cancer for the benefit of Canadians;
• Examine the effectiveness of HPV vaccine schedules, including 1 dose schedules;
• Evaluate the requirement for booster doses for the HPV vaccine for males and females;
• Improve understanding of, access to, and uptake of cervical cancer screening among underserved populations with appropriate consideration of income, cultural background, geographic location, education, gender, and other intersecting factors;
• Improve understanding of, access to, and uptake of HPV vaccination among the general population, including consideration of the role of parents and guardians, as well as appropriate consideration of how income, cultural background, geographic location, education, gender, and other intersecting factors may be contributing to vaccine hesitancy;
• Assess the feasibility, suitability and implementation of HPV self-collection for underscreened populations with appropriate consideration of how income, cultural background, geographic location, education, gender, and other intersecting factors may affect effective implementation; and
• Establish a network of collaborative centres to ensure that good practices and learnings from the grant recipients are translated nationally to maximize the impact and outcomes of the research program across jurisdictions for the benefit of Canadians.

The TiC team grants are expected to:

Produce results that are applicable, adaptable and ready for equitable spread and scale by a health provider through implementation research that is relevant to patients, communities, and decision-makers;
Improve health outcomes, patient experience, effectiveness, and lower the cost of care within two (2) or more of the TiC focus areas through identifying, evaluating and implementing evidence-based and/or effective solutions, including eHealth solutions;
Build novel multi-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary collaborations and partnerships with individuals and organizations in Canada that have interest in transformative research in care transitions by promoting engagement, recognition and respect for health research expertise across an array of health disciplines, research pillars, and industry;
Build and promote relevant transitions in care research capacity, including training and early career development, by supporting teams that actively engage established researchers, early career investigators, trainees, and knowledge-users.

Enhance the scale-up or implementation at-scale of evidence-based interventions for the prevention or detection and management of hypertension and/or diabetes in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and/or in Indigenous populations in Canada that encourages broader international uptake.

The CIHR-IPPH Trailblazer Award is expected to:
• Recognize the exemplary efforts and activities of exceptional Canadian researchers at different career stages who have created a highly influential body of work that has had a substantial impact on the field of population and public health research and its use in policy and/or practice in Canada and/or internationally.

This innovative partnership brings together the expertise in co-operative enterprise development of the Co-operative Development Foundation of Canada and the resources, technical expertise and know-how of Fertilizer Canada in soil nutrient management.

Business-Led Networks of Centres of Excellence program (BL-NCE) funds large-scale collaborative research networks that bring a wide range of research expertise to bear on specific challenges identified by an industrial sector. Led by a not-for-profit consortium of industrial partners, networks enhance private sector innovation by blending academic expertise with the private sector’s drive to respond to real-world challenges. BL-NCEs increase private sector investments in Canadian research, support training of skilled researchers, and accelerate the transfer of ideas from the laboratory into solutions needed by the private sector.

The Postdoctoral Fellowships (PDF) Program provides support to a core of the most promising researchers at a pivotal time in their careers. The fellowships are also intended to secure a supply of highly qualified Canadians with leading-edge scientific and
