The CIHR-IPPH Trailblazer Award is expected to:

• Recognize the exemplary efforts and activities of exceptional Canadian researchers at different career stages who have created a highly influential body of work that has had a substantial impact on the field of population and public health research and its use in policy and/or practice in Canada and/or internationally. This award will identify trailblazers in public health based on the following criteria:
  1. Level of impact and experience in Canada and/or internationally in one or more of the relevant research areas in population and public health research.
  2. Level of influence on policy and/or practice in Canada and/or internationally in one or more of the relevant research areas in population and public health research.
  3. Extent of achievements in Canada and/or internationally in the areas of leadership, mentorship, and capacity building at the individual or institutional level in the area of population and public health research.

The objective of this funding opportunity is to support patient participation at the SPOR Summit 2018.

The TiC team grants are expected to:

• Produce results that are applicable, adaptable and ready for equitable spread and scale by a health provider through implementation research that is relevant to patients, communities, and decision-makers;
• Improve health outcomes, patient experience, effectiveness, and lower the cost of care within two (2) or more of the TiC focus areas through identifying, evaluating and implementing evidence-based and/or effective solutions, including eHealth solutions;
• Build novel multi-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary collaborations and partnerships with individuals and organizations in Canada that have interest in transformative research in care transitions by promoting engagement, recognition and respect for health research expertise across an array of health disciplines, research pillars, and industry;
• Build and promote relevant transitions in care research capacity, including training and early career development, by supporting teams that actively engage established researchers, early career investigators, trainees, and knowledge-users.

The objectives of the Canadian Microbiome Initiative 2 Research Teams funding opportunity are to:

• Create knowledge through translational research on the causational links between microbiome and human health and disease, with consideration of sex as a biological variable and gender as a social determinant of health.
• Encourage interdisciplinary collaborations and foster Canadian expertise in microbiome and human health and disease to build synergies, and facilitate the sharing of data and resources.
• Build upon and further the platforms and services provided by the CMI2 Research Core to build synergies, facilitate the sharing of data and resources and facilitate knowledge translation

We are pleased to announce a new CIMVHR research opportunity (https://cimvhr.ca/cimvhr-opportunities).  We are seeking a researcher or a research team from one of our Member Universities to conduct the following research project.

TASK 43 - Literature Review on "The Utility of Melatonin Interventions in PTSD".

We would ask that you kindly distribute this notice to let your researchers know about this opportunity. 

NEW: All proposals must be submitted through the online call for proposal portal (http://funding.cimvhr.ca/login) and contain the required information as noted on the Request for Proposal document. Proposal received outside of the portal or that do not contain the necessary required information will not be considered.

B. Program Objectives

• To support bilateral industrial and technology collaborations that will drive technology development and commercialization in the global marketplace by leveraging industrial and technical capabilities across Ontario and Jiangsu
• To develop and enhance cooperation in the field of industrial and technology innovations, to improve competitiveness and to further economic and business collaboration between Ontario and Jiangsu

Priority Fields

The current call for proposals will accept project applications focusing on the following technology sectors:

• Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
• Life Sciences

Own the Podium and Mitacs developed a partnership through Mitacs’s Accelerate and Elevate programs, which support the brightest PhD students and postdoctoral fellows conducting research in high‐performance sport. These interns share their time between academic, industrial, and high‐performance sport environments, tying together the major elements of the Canadian sport‐research ecosystem.

All projects must have clear potential for economic impact to Canada and therefore must likely include a Canadian for‐profit partner, where the intern will spend at least 25 per cent of his/her time.

Points for consideration:

A) The three major research areas related to OTP‐targeted Olympic and Paralympic sports are:
 Sport performance: Including, but not limited to, physiological preparation, performance nutrition, sport psychology, biomechanics and motor behaviour, and sport analytics;
 Sports engineering: Including, but not limited to, equipment fabrication and customization,
aerodynamics, ergonomics, and performance technology; and
 Proactive sports medicine: Including, but not limited to, injury prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and return to podium.

B) Projects must be aligned with both a Canadian Sport Institute (CSI) and a collaborating Canadian university. The CSI may be directly involved in the research and will also be in a position to potentially provide opportunities for subsequent employment in continued high‐performance sport research.
