Description:
The specific objectives of the CCNA Research Teams FO are to equitably and inclusively:
• Support research in age-related neurogenerative diseases related to the themes of primary prevention, secondary prevention and treatment, and quality of life;
• Support the continuous improvement and optimal use of CCNA research platforms and central research support for research in neurodegeneration in aging;
• Catalyze and build training and mentoring capacity to foster career development of the next generation of researchers in the field, inclusive of the diversity of people in Canada, and Australia, as applicable, by leveraging training and other opportunities offered by the CCNA Operations Centre;
• Enhance capacity for knowledge mobilization practices throughout the research process, in both official languages, to increase the dissemination and uptake of neurodegenerative disease research results to relevant parties and partners in research;
• Facilitate interdisciplinary, interinstitutional, interprovincial, and international (if applicable) collaborations, and create linkages within and across teams, themes, and the CCNA Operations Centre, and between a diversity of researchers and knowledge users in age-related neurodegenerative diseases; and
• Advance research on neurodegenerative diseases and improve more equitable health outcomes for diverse groups of people in Canada, and Australia, as applicable.
Expected Results:
This program provides funding for targeted grants and awards aimed at addressing priority areas. Priorities are identified by CIHR in consultation with other government departments and agencies, partners and stakeholders. The program mobilizes researchers, patients, health providers, and decision makers to conduct research, enable knowledge translation and build capacity in the priority areas. It often requires collaboration within and across sectors.
