Well-being, Health and Biomedical Discovery
Deadlines
Academic Unit: inquire with unit
Memorial Deadline: Friday 26th, April 2024
External Deadline: Wednesday 1st, May 2024
Description
Webinar
CIHR will be hosting webinar(s) to support participants with the requirements of this funding opportunity and to answer questions. To find out more information and to register, visit the Webinars page.
The goal of the CIHR Operating Grants: Knowledge Mobilization in Diabetes Prevention and Treatment is to enhance knowledge mobilization in the field of diabetes, focusing on evidence integration into health services, programs, and policies. This funding opportunity will also provide researchers and knowledge users, including people with lived/living experience (PWLLE), e.g., people at risk of or with diabetes, and their families and informal caregivers, or a representative of a patient organization representing these groups, an opportunity to work collaboratively to improve prevention and care of people at risk of, or living with, diabetes in Canada.
This funding opportunity will complement CIHR’s 100 Years of Insulin: Accelerating Canadian Discoveries to Defeat Diabetes initiative which supports research to develop preventive and therapeutic paradigms that reverse the upward trajectory of diabetes prevalence and associated morbidities and reduce the impact of diabetes on individuals, families, and communities.
Knowledge Mobilization
Applicants will have to submit a knowledge mobilization plan (See How to Apply for more details) developed jointly between researchers and knowledge users to address a health system priority and/or identified evidence need or gap. Applicants will identify targeted knowledge users (including but not limited to PWLLEs, policy and decision makers, and healthcare providers) and the intended knowledge mobilization activities and/or products that will be produced (see Additional Information for examples).
Research Areas
This funding opportunity will support projects relevant to the following areas:
- General Pool: This funding pool will support applications relevant to the overall objectives of the funding opportunity, especially knowledge mobilization activities and/or products focusing on evidence integration into health services.
- Territorial Regional Pool: This funding pool will support applications focused within the three territories (the Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut) relevant to the overall objectives of the funding opportunity, with a particular emphasis on knowledge mobilization activities and/or products targeted to Indigenous communities and improving access to culturally appropriate diabetes care and evidence integration into health services.
- Atlantic Regional Pool: This funding pool will support applications focused within the Atlantic Region (New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island) relevant to the overall objectives of the funding opportunity, with a particular emphasis on knowledge mobilization activities and/or products aligned with a health system priority for diabetes in the region and evidence integration into health services.
Projects may include generation and mobilization of data required to advance an intervention already proven to be efficacious into health services, programs or policies – including, but not limited to, analyses of existing datasets (e.g., cost-effectiveness studies), acceptability studies, and collection of patient-reported outcomes. Projects may also focus on the screening and prevention of diabetes complications or supporting the gathering of evidence for a health technology assessment.
