Description
In late July 2021, CIHR will launch a second competition "Operating Grant: Emerging COVID-19 Research Gaps and Priorities Funding Opportunity" that will focus on new priority research areas. We are providing preliminary information on the CIHR pre announcement website [1] at this time to allow the research community to prepare and respond to an expedited process.
CIHR encourages you to read the pre-announcement as a number of research areas in this competition are relevant to population and public health research.
As the COVID-19 pandemic has evolved, so have the research needs of decision makers. There are important research gaps in Canada's response that have become evident; gaps that need to be addressed rapidly and in a sustained manner to respond effectively to the pandemic. In order to achieve these goals, this funding opportunity will support research aimed to tackle priority areas to effectively mitigate the rapid spread of COVID-19 and minimize its direct and indirect impacts on individuals and communities within and across jurisdictions in Canada and globally. Mitigation and recovery strategies require a coherent and integrated response from all Canadians, and especially from health care workers, researchers, public health authorities, industry, policymakers, decision makers at all levels, and the health system.
Funding Availability
The total funding amount available for this and upcoming COVID-19 competitions is approximately $88 million.
Maximum Project Value
The maximum amount per grant that can be requested for a clinical trial or a randomized control trial is $1,000,000 over one year
The maximum amount per grant that can be requested for all other types of research is $500,000 over one year.
Indirect Costs
0%
Project Duration
One year
Special Notes
Please note that research activities carried out in the context of COVID-19 need to adhere to the University of Guelph COVID-19 research principles, policies, guidelines and processes as they may be updated from time to time and communicated on the Office of Research web-page [2].
