Description
The goal of this funding opportunity is to build research capacity, generate new knowledge, and support knowledge mobilization in human development, child and youth health by funding operating grants to early career researchers.
The program will fund research across the four CIHR pillars (biomedical; clinical; health services; and social, cultural, environmental, and population health) that has the potential to have a significant impact on human development, child and youth health. Ultimately, the program aims to strengthen Canada’s capacity and knowledge to respond to challenges and needs by providing important early career development support to researchers in these fields.
Aligning with IHDCYH’s Strategic Plan, 2022-2026, which outlines a commitment to “reconciliation, equity, diversity and inclusion across our activities”, this funding opportunity supports the Inspiring Healthy Futures finding that “any initiative to improve health and well-being for children, youth and families in Canada must include fundamental principles of equity”.
Research Areas
In addition to supporting projects relevant to human development, child and youth health in IHDCYH’s mandate area, separate funding pools will support the following priority areas:
- Indigenous Human Development, Child and Youth Health: This funding pool will support distinctions-based research that focuses on human development, child and youth health in First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples and/or communities.
- Human Development, Child and Youth Health for Equity-Deserving Groups*: This funding pool will support research that focuses on human development, child and youth health in equity-deserving groups. Equity-deserving groups include, but are not limited to, women, persons with disabilities, members of visible minority/racialized groups and members of 2SLGBTQI+ communities.
*Please note that projects focused on Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit or Métis) human development, child and youth health must apply to the Indigenous Human Development, Child and Youth Health pool. Projects that include Indigenous people in a broader sample of equity-deserving groups must apply to the Human Development, Child and Youth Health for Equity-Deserving Groups pool.
