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 PA will fund Breast Cancer research in the following priority areas:

• General Breast Cancer Research
o research that supports CIHR-ICR’s mandate in the area of Breast Cancer
• Breast Cancer Prevention and/or Early Detection of Breast Cancer
o research that prevents the onset of breast cancer (lowers cancer risk) and/or reduces the severity of the disease through early detection when it is at its most treatable.
• Breast Cancer Survivorship
o research that mitigates the challenges experienced along the breast cancer survivorship journey and improves the health outcomes for breast cancer survivors of all ages from the time of their cancer diagnosis until the time of their death or entry into end-of-life care.
o specifically in the areas of:
¿ Late & Long-Term Effects
¿ Survivors’ Experiences & Outcomes
¿ Models of Care
o This PA will not fund research focused on improving end-of-life care.

• This PA supports research that creates new knowledge and/or moves it into practice in the health system, communities, workplaces, and in the daily lives of Canadians.

The overall aim of this funding opportunity is to support robust research to analyze, monitor, contextualize and/or evaluate how structural or “system-level” drivers (e.g. legislation and policies) can create, maintain or exacerbate health (in)equity across populations, regions, contexts and settings.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:

• To increase the evidence base on the structural determinants of health inequities in Canada.
• To support a range of identifiable and/or novel interdisciplinary research designs, theories, methods, and approaches to understand the structural determinants of health and their impacts on health (in)equities.
• To foster connections and collaboration between researchers and stakeholders across a broad range of disciplines, including (but not limited to) population and public health researchers, public health professionals, people with lived experience, communities, knowledge keepers, knowledge-users, and decision-makers to translate knowledge into policy and practice. This form of knowledge synthesis will be supported through a convening event that all funded applicants will attend during the funding period.

The program provides financing for incentives offered to consumers who buy or lease an eligible ZEV.

Alliance grants encourage university researchers to collaborate with partner organizations, which can be from the private, public or not-for-profit sectors. These grants support research projects led by strong, complementary, collaborative teams that will generate new knowledge and accelerate the application of research results to create benefits for Canada.

Incorporating sex and gender into health research makes for better science that is more rigorous and more applicable to the needs of everybody. The CIHR Institute of Gender and Health (CIHR-IGH) will provide funding for applications that are relevant to its mandate:
• The CIHR-IGH mandate is to foster research excellence regarding the influence of sex and gender on health and to apply these findings to identify and address pressing health challenges facing men, women, girls, boys and gender-diverse people.
