Phase II of the Joint Canada-Israel Health Research Program is expected to:

• Advance research and discovery in biomedical sciences and global health;
• Encourage scientific collaboration and knowledge mobilization between Canadian, Israeli; and LMIC researchers and trainees
• Reinforce capacity in biomedical sciences and global health.

Health research training is a core priority for CIHR that is guided by the vision of cultivating scientific, professional, and organizational leaders both within and beyond the health research enterprise. Building on strong progress to date, the CIHR Institute Summer Programs offer a strategic platform for Institutes and Initiatives to advance their mandates by supporting collaborative learning, capacity building, and knowledge exchange.

The purpose of this funding opportunity is to identify a host for each of the three 2027 CIHR Summer Institute Programs:

1. The CIHR-IA Summer Program in Aging
2. The CIHR-IGH Summer Institute in Sex and Gender+ Science
3. The CIHR-IPPH Summer Institute on Public Health Systems

The National Data Spaces Pilot Program is designed to test and refine the idea of data spaces to improve how Canada's research data is managed, shared, and used across all research fields – from the humanities and social sciences to engineering, health, and agriculture. This initiative, aligned with the Canadian Sovereign AI Compute Strategy, will accelerate discovery and maximize the impact of public investments in Artificial Intelligence and Digital Research Infrastructure.

The Pilot will support at least three research communities in establishing domain-specific data spaces that bring together the appropriate governance, standards, services, and technology to enable secure, ethical, and interoperable data (re)use. This Pilot is a core component of the Alliance's vision for the Canadian Research Data Platform (CRDP)—a connected ecosystem that ensures Canadian research data is managed according to Canadian principles, safeguarded for the long term, and positioned for maximum impact.

The OHTN will offer five types of grants:

1. Breaking New Ground Grant: project funding for innovative, high-reward projects that will break new ground and build evidence and programs to dramatically improve the prevention, treatment, and care cascade in Ontario. This funding stream supports the piloting, evaluation, or scale up of HIV interventions
2. Implementation Science Grant: project funding for the development of sustainable, effective HIV programs and services. This funding stream will support implementation science initiatives that will contribute to a rapid learning system for HIV.
3. Junior Investigator Grant: salary support for emergent leaders who are interested in working closely and collaboratively with the OHTN to drive change, contribute to rapid learning and improvement in our sector, and build HIV innovation capacity in Ontario.
4. Postdoctoral Grant: salary support for postdoctoral fellows who are interested in working closely and collaboratively with the OHTN to drive change, contribute to rapid learning and improvement in our sector, and build HIV innovation capacity in Ontario.
5. Community Based Project and Participatory Evaluation Grant: support for community-based agencies, their staff, and people living with HIV to undertake projects, needs assessments, quality improvements, and evaluation activities that help develop and modify effective programs, services, and policies or generate data to make the case for additional HIV inquiry relevant to Ontario’s needs.

Researchers are invited to apply for a new grant funding opportunity sponsored by Canadian Forces Health Services (CFHS) Women and Diversity Health program (WDH) to assess the unique oral health needs of women and gender-diverse members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).

Heart & Stroke, in collaboration with the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health (CIHR-ICRH) and Brain Canada, is proud to announce a joint commitment of $5 million over five years to support the Cardiac Arrest Team Grants funding opportunity.
 
This bold initiative aims to significantly improve the prediction of cardiac arrest, the survival rates and quality of life for individuals and families affected by cardiac arrest across Canada.
 
Advancing research in cardiac arrest
 
The Cardiac Arrest Team Grants will support multidisciplinary research teams across three key areas:

1. Prediction and early detection: Advancing ability to predict and detect cardiac arrest in the community or in hospital by deepening understanding of its causes and biological mechanisms.
2. Accelerating response and increasing survival: Developing sustainable, evidence-informed approaches to improve emergency response and survival — both out-of-hospital and in-hospital.
3. Optimizing brain recovery: Supporting survivors with evidence-based rehabilitation and recovery strategies that address physical, neurocognitive, and/or mental health needs. This includes support for families, caregivers, and communities.

These grants support short-term, targeted knowledge mobilization events and activities.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

1. Promote research independence and academic research career readiness of highly qualified trainees, such as post-doctoral researchers, clinicians and PhD-holding research associates, belonging to underrepresented groups;
2. Increase the number of funded researchers from underrepresented groups conducting excellent research who secure their first independent research faculty position in a Canadian academic, health system or research institution; and
3. Provide funded researchers from underrepresented groups with early career support to enhance their probability of future success in obtaining independent research funding and launching successful research faculty careers position in Canada that that will contribute to the creation and/or use of health-related knowledge to improve the health of people in Canada.

Partnership Grants provide support for new and existing formal partnerships over four to seven years to advance research, research training and/or knowledge mobilization in the social sciences and humanities. This is done through mutual cooperation and sharing of intellectual leadership, as well as through resources such as cash and/or in-kind contributions.

Researchers interested in applying to this funding opportunity are asked to contact the Office of Research Services at least two months prior to the SSHRC deadline to indicate their interest in the program.
