Description:
The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:
1. Advance high-impact, high-quality, evidence-based research that addresses the health needs, inequities, and strengths of 2S/LGBTQI+ individuals and communities and contributes to a more equitable and inclusive health research landscape in Canada.
2. Broaden and strengthen engagement in 2S/LGBTQI+ health research by encouraging participation from researchers across all four CIHR pillars – biomedical, clinical, health systems and services, and population and public health – and by supporting meaningful collaboration with 2S/LGBTQI+ communities. This objective aims to expand the scope, diversity, and disciplinary reach of those contributing to this field, while ensuring that research remains community-informed and equity-focused.
3. Strengthen the capacity of both researchers and 2S/LGBTQI+ communities to work collaboratively as research partners, support mutual learning, mentor the next generation of 2S/LGBTQI+ researchers, and co-design research that reflects lived/living experience and community priorities.
4. Enhance the real-world impact of 2S/LGBTQI+ health research by supporting knowledge mobilization strategies that are co-developed with communities and designed to inform practice, influence policy, and drive systems-level change. This includes the creation of accessible tools, resources, and dissemination approaches that ensure research findings are translated into meaningful action.
