Deadlines
Academic Unit:
Memorial Deadline: Inquire with RGCS
External Deadline: Tuesday 6th, March 2018
Description
The pan-Canadian SPOR Network in Primary and Integrated Health Care Innovations is a key CIHR initiative under the Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research and the Community-Based Primary Health Care Signature Initiative. More information on this Network can be found on the Pan-Canadian SPOR Network in Primary and Integrated Health Care Innovations website.
The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support knowledge syntheses and scoping reviews, which are the cornerstone of knowledge translation. They transform vast libraries of scientific literature into knowledge that is reliable, relevant and readable for knowledge users (individuals who are likely to be able to use research results to make informed decisions about health policies, programs and/or practices). Research questions should be driven by the needs of policy makers to have evidence-informed decision making.
Partnership Requirements
Funding allocated through the Knowledge Synthesis grants will adhere to the principles that underlie all SPOR programs, including a requirement for 1:1 matching of CIHR funds with non-federal government sources. Applicants are therefore expected to work with their nominating institutions, provinces/territories, industry, charities and foundations, and other partners to secure matching sources of funding by the application deadline. Partner contributions cannot be funds that have previously been leveraged for other CIHR initiatives, including SPOR.
Matching partner contributions from non-federal sources can include up to 50% eligible cash equivalent contributions.
Cash contributions from funding partners cannot be limited to any particular purpose.
Additional details and program guidelines are available on CIHR’s website.
