Description: |
The purpose of this program is to strengthen the Canadian health research by supporting teams of talented and experienced researchers conducting high-quality research and providing superior training and mentorship. Its emphasis is on the production of new knowledge and the translation of research findings into improvements in the health of Canadians and the Canadian health care system that will be realized more rapidly and more efficiently than if the components were to be funded as a series of separate operating grants. It is expected that this investment will further the Canadian capacity for high-quality, problem-based research on relevant health, health care and health system issues. The purpose of this funding opportunity is to further strengthen research on vision, hearing and communication disorders. It is expected that this targeted investment will lead to improved prevention, better treatment and more effective rehabilitation strategies. To achieve this objective, and to capture the interest and expertise in their respective research communities, the Institute of Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction (INMHA), in partnership with the Institute of Aging, are pleased to announce this joint support for multidisciplinary emerging research teams. FRSQ will act as the coordinator and secretariat for the call for proposals. The projects will have to be structured so as to contribute a new added value that the researchers, funded by each of the three research funding agencies, could not achieve on their own. Awardees from Canadian provinces other than Qu?bec will be funded by CIHR. |

Projects must be large-scale and bring together researchers from a variety of disciplines, areas of expertise and research settings and with an array of approaches. Only applicants whose letter of notice is deemed eligible and in line with the topic of the call for proposals will be invited to submit a full application.INDIRECT COSTS ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY THIS PROGRAM. |
