Canadian Blood Services is pleased to announce its 2020 Intramural Research Grant Program Competition. The objective of the Intramural Research Grant Program is to support collaborative research projects that will generate knowledge and lead to new discoveries that will improve the safety and efficacy of blood products and the blood system in general.

 

Applications are welcomed from project teams led by an investigator affiliated with a Canadian academic program as a faculty member. Project teams must be composed of at least two investigators (including the Principal Investigator) and at least one of the investigators must be affiliated with Canadian Blood Services as a scientist, medical officer/director/consultant, or adjunct scientist.

 

For detailed information about the Intramural Research Grant Program competition, please refer to blood.ca.

 

The deadline to submit a Registration Form is February 7 2020. Full applications are due April 10 2020.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Provide Travel Bursaries for the Public Health 2020 (CPHA annual conference) for presenters (knowledge users, trainees or Early Career researchers) who have been accepted to be part of the Public Health 2020 scientific program.
• Support the sharing of research at Public Health 2020 that:
  • addresses one or more of the IPPH strategic research priorities;
  • increases the capacity of the Canadian health research community to lead and collaborate on cutting-edge population and public health research and knowledge translation, both nationally and internationally; and/ or iii) builds on/align with existing IPPH initiatives (e.g. Environments and Health Signature Initiative, Pathways to Health Equity).

The primary objective of the Summer Studentship Award program is:

• To increase research capacity and encourage the pursuit of the specific areas of strategic interest identified by the CIHR-IA and the CIHR-IHDCYH by targeting students in early stage academic training.

The intent of the Clinician Scientist Fellow Award is to encourage early-stage specialist clinicians to pursue a career in blood cancer research. The award is specifically targeted at Doctors of Medicine (MDs) near, or recently at, the completion of specialty training in hematology, oncology, hematopathology, pathology, or other related disciplines and who have initiated or have immediate plans to begin supervised research training directed at blood cancers.

This opportunity is designed to foster ꟷ through provision of a contribution to their salary and research program ꟷ the acquisition of skills and independence of clinical fellows to conduct research in blood cancers at the laboratory, clinical or combined levels.

The Genomic Applications Partnership Program (GAPP) funds downstream research and development (R&D) projects that address real world opportunities and challenges defined by “Receptor” organizations such as industry, government, or not-for-profit entities. These organizations should have the expertise, resources and commitment to commercialize or implement the outcomes of the project. Projects must be active collaborations between the Receptor organization (Canadian or international) and a Canadian academic researcher. Both must play an integral role in the project. These projects are co-funded by Receptors and other stakeholders and must have the potential to generate significant social and/or economic benefits for Canada. The GAPP aims to:

• Accelerate the application of Canadian genomics-derived solutions from academia to real-world opportunities and challenges defined by industry, not-for-profit and public-sector Receptors.
• Channel Canada’s genomics capacity into sustainable innovations that benefit Canadians.
• Enhance the value of Canadian genomics technologies by de-risking and incentivizing follow-on investment from industry and other partners.
• Foster mutually beneficial collaboration and knowledge exchange between Canadian academia and technology receptors.
