Team Grant: Embracing Diversity to Achieve Precision & Health Equity

The objectives of this funding opportunity are to fund new research that will improve health and achieve more equitable outcomes in nutrition, metabolic health, and chronic high burden diseases, as well as STBBI, across the life course of diverse groups of people in Canada by:

1. Developing precision medicine approaches to characterize the variability that underlies mechanisms of disease, to prevent, detect, and intervene effectively in terms of disease susceptibility, progression, resilience and reversibility, and treatment
2. Increasing our understanding of interactions between structural, social, environmental, and biological determinants of health in Indigenous communities that underlie heterogeneity in health and disease
3. Increasing our understanding of interactions between structural, social, environmental, and biological determinants of health with particular emphasis on a diversity of populations who have historically experienced inequitable outcomes in Canada and at-risk groups that underlie heterogeneity in health and disease

Note that applicants will not be required to meet all the objectives in their respective application, but all objectives will be met through the funding opportunity.
