Catalyst Grant: Digital Health

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Support original, high quality research in digital health that has the potential to catalyse future research (e.g. may support securing funding through Project Grant and at other Agencies/Councils), including generation of pilot data, and research into evaluation, scale up, or implementation of a digital health product, platform or application.
• Incentivize research that focuses on digital health solutions for the CIHR-IMHA mandate areas.
• Foster a community of CIHR-IMHA digital health researchers that partner with Canadian leaders in equitable digital science.
• Provide research leadership, stimulate innovative research and practice, and strengthen research capacity by dedicating funds to early and mid-career researchers as part of CIHR-IMHA's commitment to Nurture Leaders.
• Strengthen health research by embedding patient and/or community engagement in the funding opportunity.
