Deadlines
Academic Unit: Inquire with Unit
Memorial Deadline: Thursday 28th, March 2019
External Deadline: Tuesday 2nd, April 2019
Description
The DSEN program was established through a partnership between CIHR and Health Canada to increase the evidence on drug safety and effectiveness available to public drug plan managers, regulators, policy-makers, health technology assessors and other end-users to support their decision-making and to increase capacity within Canada to undertake high-quality post-market drug safety and effectiveness research. DSEN helps to reduce duplication of research efforts and facilitate collaboration of researchers across jurisdictions.
Under the DSEN model, pre-established teams undertake research projects in response to “queries” that are submitted by eligible decision makers (federal regulator, public drug plans, organizations supporting decision-making with respect to drugs/biologics). A DSEN query is a potential research topic identified as a gap in evidence on the safety and effectiveness of drugs on the Canadian market.
Funds Available
CIHR and partner(s) financial contributions for this initiative are subject to availability of funds. Should CIHR or partner(s) funding levels not be available or are decreased due to unforeseen circumstances, CIHR and partner(s) reserve the right to reduce, defer or suspend financial contributions to grants received as a result of this funding opportunity.
- The total amount available for this funding opportunity is $6,749,259 enough to fund two (2) grants (one (1) in each pool).
- Of this $6,749,259:
- The maximum amount per renewal of the MAGIC team grant is $1,399,753 per year for three (3) years for a total of $4,199,259
- The maximum amount per renewal of the CAN-AIM team grant is $850,000 per year for three (3) years for a total of $2,550,000
The funding levels established for each Team Grant are based on patterns of query submissions by DSEN stakeholders and recent DSEN research activity by each of the teams.
