Grants and Contributions

This project aims to accelerate the availability of high quality and reliable vaccines for the registration and use against highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).

Project activities include: (1) distributing food and cash-based transfers; (2) providing supplementary feeding for children under the age of 5 years, as well as pregnant and lactating women and girls; and (3) providing logistical support to humanitarian agencies and enabling access to the most remote and hard-to-reach locations.

This grant represents Canada’s institutional support to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. Gavi uses these funds, along with other donors’ funding, to achieve its mandate. Gavi’s long-term mission is saving lives and protecting people’s health by increasing equitable and sustainable vaccine use. This project supports Gavi's four strategic goals for the 2026-2030 period. Project activities include: introducing and scaling up vaccines against infectious disease, including human papillomavirus and malaria, through procurement and delivery support; (2) supporting and strengthening health systems to increase immunization equity, including dedicated support to extend immunization services to under-immunized and zero-dose children; (3) improving the sustainability of national immunizations programs; and (4) ensuring healthy markets for vaccines and related products.

Each of the nine member First Nations of Meadow Lake Tribal Council will organize, promote and implement local dog management strategies including education initiatives, spay and neuter clinics, vaccination programs and dog management training for community members, while ensuring locally accessible animal control equipment, pet care supplies, dog food and dog shelters.

STEMCELL Technologies will manufacture a proprietary medium developed for mammalian cell culture and protein expression used in the vaccine manufacturing process.

Project activities include: (1) distributing food and cash-based transfers; (2) providing supplementary feeding for children under the age of 5 years, as well as pregnant and lactating women and girls; and (3) providing logistical support to humanitarian agencies and enabling access to the most remote and hard-to-reach locations.

Project activities include: (1) providing immediate water, sanitation and hygiene services; (2) nutrition services including treatment for severe acute malnutrition for children and pregnant and breastfeeding women and girls; (3) providing protection services for children and women; and (4) providing health care services.

Support research activities to demonstrate the ability to pivot a needle-free inhaled vaccine platform to H5N1, reading it for future clinical trials.

• Advance the understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying cancer etiology, genesis, and/or risk linked with host, lifestyle, environmental, social, and other factors to enable improvements in cancer prevention, early detection, and risk reduction at the individual and/or population-level.
• Foster and enable interdisciplinary team science by connecting diverse researchers across discovery, clinical, health services, and population health research, and knowledge users and knowledge holders, whose collaborative efforts are required to achieve an improved understanding of the biological mechanisms and associated determinants of health that influence cancer risk and development.
• Bridge the gap between research and clinical/public health practice through knowledge mobilization.
• Strengthen and promote research capacity in cancer prevention, early detection, and risk reduction through interdisciplinary and experiential-based approaches.
