Description
Integrating sex and gender considerations throughout the health policy process can be complex. However, Health Canada staff charged with applying sex- and gender-based analysis (SGBA) to programs and policies don’t always have the depth of knowledge and expertise required to integrate sex and gender in a manner informed by the best available evidence or to evaluate the effectiveness of doing so with methods powered to detect and respond to potential unintended consequences.
This is your opportunity to make a difference in Canadian health policy.
Following the Canadian Government’s renewed commitment to integrating sex and gender, Health Canada has launched a department-wide SGBA Action Plan. One key activity of this plan is a partnership between the CIHR Institute of Gender and Health and the Health Canada Gender and Health Unit.
This funding opportunity will support projects relevant to the following research areas:
- Applying a SGBA+ lens to prescription drug lifecycle management
- Applying a SGBA+ lens to medical device lifecycle management
The total amount available for this funding opportunity is $150,000, enough to fund approximately two (2) grants, one (1) grant for each research area listed above. The maximum amount per grant is $75,000 for up to one (1) year.
