Grants and Contributions

The President’s Fund grants are intended to:

support organizations and initiatives whose goal is consistent with CIHR’s vision, mandate and strategic directions;
provide financial assistance for events that will increase CIHR’s visibility such as conferences, workshops or other events where the objectives of the event align with the interests of CIHR overall and not individual Institutes;
provide special, one-time grants to support health research activities where the request falls outside of CIHR’s regular funding programs.

The purpose of the Secretariat on Responsible Conduct of Research (SRCR) Education and Training Support (SETS) grant is to provide funding to help with the costs of developing and delivering an education and/or training activity (e.g. workshops, webinars, online education, conferences, etc.). The SETS grant contributes to the costs of activities such as workshops, webinars, online education, and conferences that advance understanding of the Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans (TCPS) and/or the Tri-Agency Framework: Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR Framework).

The objective of the Secretariat on Responsible Conduct of Research (SRCR) with this Travel Grant is to promote RCR and to provide researchers, faculty, graduate students and institutional administrators responsible for Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) from Canadian institutions with an opportunity to engage and learn more about RCR from an international perspective. As with previous SRCR travel grants, attendees will have the opportunity to learn the state of progress of research integrity across the globe, discuss RCR challenges and emerging topics, and exchange ideas and experience with national and institutional leaders, policy makers, research funders, professional societies, journal editors, publishers, researchers, educators, administrators, and students. Attendees will also be in a position to disseminate the knowledge and best practices gathered during the conference to enhance their institutions’ understanding of RCR and build on their existing RCR curriculum.

To provide recognition and funding to academic researchers; to provide a reliable supply of highly skilled and qualified researchers.

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.
