Connection Grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the Connection program.

These grants support events and outreach activities geared toward short-term, targeted knowledge mobilization initiatives. These events and activities represent opportunities to exchange knowledge and to engage with participants on research issues of value to them. Events and outreach activities funded by a Connection Grant can often serve as a first step toward more comprehensive and longer-term projects.

Connection Grants support workshops, colloquiums, conferences, forums, summer institutes, or other events or outreach activities that facilitate:

• disciplinary and/or interdisciplinary exchanges in the social sciences and humanities;
• scholarly exchanges between those working in the social sciences and humanities and those working in other research fields;
• intersectoral exchanges between academic researchers in the social sciences and humanities and researchers and practitioners from the public, private and/or not-for-profit sectors; and/or
• international research collaboration and scholarly exchanges with researchers, students and non-academic partners from other countries.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Enable investigators to co-create and undertake comparative effectiveness and/or implementation science innovative Clinical Trials (iCTs) with patient partners and multidisciplinary teams by supporting the development and testing of innovative methodologies and design, integrating the principles of SPOR.
• Support the application of  iCT designs, including advancements in trauma-informed designs; equity, diversity and inclusion; and inclusion of individuals who have historically been excluded.
• Build capacity for iCT methods and research through increased intensity, i.e., number of trialists, strengthening iCT research capability nationally, in alignment with the SPOR Capacity Development Framework.

This Embedded ECR Award aims to advance the overall objectives of the HSI program. Additionally, this funding opportunity specifically aims to:

1. Support ECRs as they develop embedded research roles and programs that advance the methods of embedded research, build embedded research capacity within health system organizations and mentor emerging embedded researchers, and generate evidence-informed solutions for high-priority challenges within health system organizations.
2. Contribute to building a strong cadre of embedded researchers across the country that will play a role in transformative health system improvement that advances the Quadruple Aim and health equity.
3. Support the development of career pathways for a diverse cadre of embedded researchers within Canada’s health system.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:

• To enhance evidence regarding the adaptation and successful implementation of evidence-based interventions in preventing or reducing exposure to one or more common non-communicable disease (NCD) risk factors of city environments;
• To increase understanding of key barriers and facilitators (including contextual factors such as poverty, racism, ethnic discrimination, sex/gender differences) to intervention access, uptake, and effectiveness across demographic groups;
• To improve capacity for implementation research on NCD prevention in cities;
• To foster the incorporation of interventions into local, regional or national health policies and programs, including their scale-up and sustainability, with a focus on equitable outcomes; and
• To support implementation research teams that actively engage partners (i.e., decision makers, Indigenous Peoples, community groups, and service delivery partners) as an integral part of the entire research process.

The ALS Canada-Brain Canada Clinical Research Fellowship 2023 is designed to support the further training of a clinician to develop the skills necessary to become a specialist in ALS and provides training in clinical or basic research relevant to the field. Specialized training of young MDs in both clinical care and research skills related to ALS is crucial to building better clinical infrastructure across Canada.

One fellowship of up to $200,000 CAD total is available for up to two years. The funds awarded through this fellowship will be utilized to support the stipend/salary of the awardee.

• Track 1 – Implementation: Funding up to $750,000 per year for four to five years for the establishment of a Global Centre

• Track 2 – Design: Funding up to $100,000 per year for one to two years for coordination and preliminary research efforts aiming to foster future Global Centres proposals
