Description
SIRI will be offering support with application development for this opportunity. Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact Jennifer Stevens (v5js@mun.ca) early during the development process to discuss the services available to them.
The Pathways Implementation Research Teams Component 3 Funding Opportunity supports the overall goal of the Pathways to Health Equity for Aboriginal Peoples(Pathways) Initiative, which is to develop a better understanding of how to design and implement equitable reach, access and sustainability of population health interventions (such as those funded by Public Health Agency of Canada, and the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch at the Department of Indigenous Services Canada [formerly of Health Canada] that will improve Indigenous (i.e., First Nations, Inuit, and Métis) health and health equity.
While components 1 and 2 of the Initiative dealt with designing interventions, Component 3 focuses on implementing interventions. Reach, access and sustainability of interventions can take on different forms, such as:
- implementing an intervention that is adaptable to changes in the immediate environment;
- implementing the intervention among other individuals, groups and/or populations;
- integrating the intervention with other pre-existing interventions; and
- adopting the intervention as an organizational practice, program and/or policy.
The focus of research supported through this funding opportunity will be on population health interventions, defined as policies, programs and resource distribution approaches that have the potential to impact health and health equity at a population level across the life course.There are four exemplars of focus: Mental Wellness, Diabetes/Obesity, Tuberculosis, and Oral Health.
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 $3,000,000, enough to fund approximately 2 grants. This amount may increase if additional funding partners participate. The maximum amount per grant is $300,000 per year for up to 5 years, for a total of $1,500,000 per grant. Applicants must secure partner contribution from non-federal sources to match the CIHR contribution at a minimum of 25% of the total grant amount requested as cash and/or in-kind.
