Description
This competition will focus on congenital heart disease (CHD) throughout the lifespan and in the context of the whole person, with considerations for sex and gender, Indigenous health and wellness, and health equity.
The competition aims to bring together multi-institutional, interdisciplinary health research teams with multiple collaborators (e.g., researchers, clinicians, people with lived/living experience, health care providers, Indigenous Elders or Knowledge Keepers, government, policy makers, not-for-profit organizations and industry) to create and mobilize knowledge that will improve the health and wellness of individuals living with CHD, their families and caregivers.
Eligibility
- The NPA and PAs must be independent researchers at eligible Canadian institutions. Applicants can be NPA for one CHD Team only; however, they may be involved in different capacities in other CHD Teams.
- The NPA may not change between the Registration and the Full Application.
- The PAs must include early- and mid-career researchers. An ‘early-career researcher’ is within the first five (5) years since their first faculty appointment at the Assistant or Clinical Assistant Professor level, or equivalent, at the time of submission. All those who held ECR status as of March 1, 2020 — or who secured their first academic appointment after this date — will have their status extended by one year. A mid-career researcher is between 5 and 15 years since their first faculty appointment at the Assistant or Clinical Assistant Professor level, or equivalent, at the time of submission.
- At the time of full application deadline, the NPA and PAs must have successfully completed and submitted a Certificate of Completion in at least one CIHR Sex and Gender Training Module. As appropriate, the NPAs, PAs and CC Theme leads are also encouraged to complete the CIHR Training Module on Research Involving First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples of Canada.
- The Host Institution/University is the institution or organization that is responsible for receiving and administering the grant on behalf of the recipient. It will be the home institution of the NPA. Documentation of support for the NPA and the application by the Host Institution shall be required as part of the full application process.
