The Career Awards for Medical Scientists (CAMS) is a highly competitive program that provides $700,000 awards over five years for physician-scientists, who are committed to an academic career, to bridge advanced postdoctoral/fellowship training and the early years of faculty service.
Proposals must be in the area of basic biomedical, disease-oriented, or translational research. Proposals in health services research or involving large-scale clinical trials are not eligible. The previously funded individuals (or researchers) are listed in the Grant Recipients section of this program.
IDRC and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) are contributing up to CA$10 million towards a COVID-19 Global South Artificial Intelligence and Data Innovation Program. The Program aims to support multidisciplinary research to deepen understanding of how to develop and scale responsible (inclusive, rights-based, ethical, and sustainable) evidence-based artificial intelligence (AI) and data science approaches that support COVID-19 response and recovery in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
Specifically, the program will aim to support research that is linked to government responses in the following areas:
The FY20 Defense Appropriations Act provides funding to the Department of Defense Kidney Cancer Research Program (KCRP) to support research of exceptional scientific merit in the area of kidney cancer. As directed by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, the Defense Health Agency J9, Research and Development Directorate manages the Defense Health Program (DHP) Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) appropriation. The managing agent for the anticipated Program Announcements/Funding Opportunities is the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) at the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC).
The FY20 KCRP Program Announcements and General Application Instructions for the following award mechanisms are posted on the Grants.gov website.

The Health Research Foundation of Innovative Medicines Canada invites applications for the Health Research Foundation of Innovative Medicines Canada Chair in Pandemic Preparedness Research.
The member companies of Innovative Medicines Canada contributed $500,000 to support the work of an early-career researcher affiliated with a recognized Canadian academic institution through the creation of a research chair in pandemic preparedness. Innovative Medicines Canada recognizes the critical need to support research excellence and to help world-class scientists working on the discoveries and innovations that keep us and our communities healthy, and our economy thriving. The creation of a research chair dedicated to pandemic preparedness, as well as to the role of healthcare and the healthcare sector in sustaining and growing our economy, will contribute to helping Canada look ahead to the next public health crisis and ensure our country is well-prepared to effectively respond and recover.
The Shock-proofing the Future of Work: Skills Innovation Challenge invites proposals that will explore and demonstrate ways in which skills innovation can promote resilience and new ways forward in the face of social and economic shocks like COVID-19.
Proposals should seek to examine new insights and models within or across three levels of the skills ecosystem:
● Innovation in support for individuals: Given rapid and often confusing changes in the labour market, individuals need diverse supports to navigate changing conditions and emerging opportunities in order to make informed decisions about their training and career paths. New approaches to training will be required in this new reality. As part of this process, we must ensure we reach communities and populations that have previously been excluded in a way that engages everyone in ongoing opportunities to access skills development.
● Innovation in support for organizations: The current crisis has led to unprecedented disruption in organizations — whether large or small business employers, government, educational institutions, or service delivery organizations. It has also precipitated unprecedented levels of innovation in approaches to work, policy development, and program delivery. Through innovation and agile responses to disruption there are new opportunities to extend flexibility, reach, efficiency, and effectiveness. Rapid deployment of technology and virtualization has created massive challenges but also chances to improve co-ordination, and sharing across organizations, and to to extend the reach of services. Organizations may need support as they re-engineer existing processes through the skills development and employment cycle.
● Systems change: The skills and employment ecosystem has long faced challenges due to fragmentation, duplication, and uneven results. How can we use systems-wide levers — policies and funding programs, industry associations, infrastructures — to grapple with challenges and opportunities or scale innovative solutions? How do we examine the role of skills in addressing disproportionate barriers that have led to underemployment of disadvantaged populations on a systems wide level?
The John Dirks Canada Gairdner Global Health Award recognizes the world’s leading researchers who have used rational, scientifically based research to improve the wellbeing of those facing health inequalities worldwide. While a single significant scientific discovery would continue to be sufficient evidence to select a nominee, the Award will also recognize outstanding researchers who apply rational scientific approaches to successful implementation, evaluation and policy interventions.
Gairdner invites nominations from any field of research impacting global health and health inequity. The award is intended for research-focused candidates, not those primarily involved in administrative or advocacy roles. This award can be shared by multiple recipients at the discretion of the Foundation.
Quality nominations are essential to the evaluation process for this award. Packages should be accurate, current, and complete throughout the five year period of consideration. The nomination portal is open each year from mid-April- October 1 for edits, changes or additions by nominators.
The Canada Gairdner Wightman Award recognizes a Canadian health researcher who has demonstrated extraordinary leadership paired with exceptional science. Successful nominees will demonstrate research excellence in the health sciences at an international level as well as superior leadership among their peers, with local, national and international impact. Outstanding candidates at varied levels of career development are eligible.
