Grants and Contributions

The specific objectives of the Canadian 2019-nCoVrapid research funding opportunity are to:

• Contribute to the global response to the 2019-nCoV outbreak;
• Enhance local, national and/or international collaborative efforts to mitigate the rapid spread of 2019-nCoV and its potential negative consequences;
• Strengthen the understanding of the impact of 2019-nCoV on individuals and communities; and
• Provide evidence to inform clinical and public health response, and/or decision-making and planning at national and international levels.

The Centre for Research on Pandemic Preparedness and Health Emergencies (CRPPHE) is housed at CIHR with a mandate to grow Canada's research leadership in preparedness, prevention, response, and recovery from pandemics and public health emergencies, including by building and supporting Canadian research capacity in the field.
CRPPHE will offer multi-year funding to support research projects that are aligned with the CRPPHE overall goal and objectives and which have a primary research objective related to preparing for and/or responding to existing and future pandemics and other health emergencies* and fall within the following research areas:
• Behavioural sciences related to improving the uptake of public health recommendations and interventions (pharmaceutical or non-pharmaceutical) including in populations experiencing systemic inequities, conditions of marginalization, Indigenous Peoples and/or among populations who are historically under-served by public systems.
• Health Systems Research (including public health systems) focused on improving integration of research and practice, and/or developing capacity within the health system for actionable, equitable, and solution-oriented health research during health emergencies that is relevant, timely, and informed by practice, patients and/or communities. This focus aligns with the Strategy on Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) and the Institute of Health Services and Policy Research’s (IHSPR) Strategic Plan to advance the Quadruple Aim and Health Equity.
• Indigenous Health Research focused on health emergency preparedness and response and that promotes Indigenous community collaborations and communities’ right to self-determination.
• Infectious disease modelling using statistical, mathematical or computational approaches to inform decisions on disease prevention, surveillance, control and treatment including economic modeling.
• One Health – interdisciplinary and holistic approaches to prevent and address emerging or re-emerging zoonotic pathogens of pandemic potential.

CIHR is committed to leverage the power of research to accelerate global health equity for all. The CIHR Framework for Action on Global Health Research 2021-2026 recognizes that CIHR must work globally because today’s most pressing health problems, and many of the most effective strategies to prevent, contain, and address them, are global. In alignment with this Framework, this priority announcement aims to grow global health research capacity and excellence.
Funding will be provided for applications that have a primary focus on global health research (as per CIHR’s definition) and that are relevant to one of the mandates below:
• Centre for Research on Pandemic Preparedness and Health Emergencies (CRPPHE)
• Institute of Population and Public Health (IPPH)

HIV Post-Exposure Prophylaxis Clinic: Risk factors for Failing to Attend, and Facilitating Care for High-Risk Patients.

The Project Grant program is expected to:
• Support a diverse portfolio of health-related research and knowledge translation proposals at any stage, from discovery to application, including commercialization;
• Promote relevant collaborations across disciplines, professions, and sectors; and
• Contribute to the creation and use of health-related knowledge.

The Exploration stream of the NFRF program supports high risk, high reward and interdisciplinary research that is not easily supported through funding opportunities currently offered by the three agencies. It seeks to inspire projects that bring disciplines together beyond traditional disciplinary or common interdisciplinary approaches by research teams with the capacity to explore something new, which might fail but has the potential for significant impact. Exploration grants aim to have a variety of types of impacts, some of which might be social, economic, scientific, artistic or cultural. This is not an exhaustive list; other types of impacts are also recognized.

Through the application of national and local priorities, the CSJ program seeks to provide youth, particularly those who face barriers to employment with access to work opportunities. Funded employers must demonstrate that they are providing quality work experiences for youth that provide opportunities to develop and improve their skills.
