Sponsor: CIHR
Sponsor program link: CIHR Project Grant Spring 2017 Competition
The Project Grant program is designed to capture ideas with the greatest potential to advance health-related knowledge, health research, health care, health systems, and/or health outcomes. It supports projects with a specific purpose and a defined endpoint. The best ideas may stem from new, incremental, innovative, and/or high-risk lines of inquiry or knowledge translation approaches.
The Project Grant program is expected to:
- Support a diverse portfolio of health-related research and knowledge translation projects at any stage, from discovery to application, including commercialization;
- Contribute to the creation and use of health-related knowledge;
- Promote relevant collaborations across disciplines, professions, and sectors.
Value: Project grant funding levels will be commensurate with need, which is expected to vary by research field, research approach, and scope of project activities.
The Project Grant competition has a specific funding envelope to support New/Early Career Investigators. Competition processes and peer review for this cohort will be fully integrated within the competition as a whole with no additional steps being required on the part of the applicant.
