Description
Note: The application deadline for this competition has been extended.
This funding opportunity will support teams to build infrastructure and capacity along the continuum of care and prevention from preconception to pregnancy, infancy and early childhood, with a life trajectory perspective relevant to the following research areas:
- A DOHaD / life trajectory approach;
- A focus on the prevention of NCDs; and
- An intervention cohort design.
Interventions must target evidence-based, modifiable risk factors for one or more NCDs. Interventions can be natural experiments (e.g., policy, programs, or other interventions not under the control of a researcher), or newly implemented or adapted interventions delivered by the researcher team or others.
For this I-HeLTI funding opportunity, the objectives will need to be addressed within an Indigenous health research context. That is, the approach to the funding opportunity objectives will need to be conducted by, grounded in, or engaged with First Nations, Inuit or Métis communities, societies or individuals and their wisdom, cultures, experiences or knowledge systems, as expressed in their dynamic forms, past and present.
