Description:

Meetings, Planning and Dissemination Grants are intended to provide support for meetings, planning and/or dissemination activities consistent with the mandate of CIHR and relevant to CIHR Institutes, Initiatives, or Branches. Eligible Activities : Scientific meetings; Gatherings of health researchers, non-researchers, and/or users of health research; Opportunities for knowledge exchange and Knowledge translation activities at the end of a CIHR grant when it is appropriate to disseminate the results .

Funding through this mechanism is a new addition to the revitalized PHSI program. It is intended to provide development funds for researchers and/or decision makers to facilitate the formation and development of partnerships with a view to PHSI. CIHR recognizes that strong partnerships between researchers and decision makers form the foundation of PHSI. CIHR also recognizes that these partnerships take time to build, and must be promoted and fostered in order to become effective and productive. The new PHSI Development Funds were conceived with this in mind. Only researchers and/or decision makers interested in applying to the full PHSI program (next competition: April and October 2009) should submit an application for the PHSI Development Funds.

Application Details:

Applicants affiliated with Canadian non-governmental not-for-profit organizations (including community or charitable organizations) with a research or knowledge translation mandate consistent with the mandate of CIHR may be eligible to apply for funds through the CIHR Meetings, Planning and Dissemination Grant program. Applicants should review the Use of Grant Funds section of the Tri-Agency (CIHR, NSERC and SSHRC) Financial Administration Guide for a complete listing and description of allowable costs and activities.

PHSI is an innovative program for supporting applied and policy-relevant health systems and services research that is deemed high priority by Canada's health care decision makers. PHSI funds teams comprised of researchers and decision makers and aims to ensure that the two work together throughout the research process - from identifying the research question, through conducting the research, to the discussion of research results and strategies for uptake. PHSI is well suited for action-oriented research projects that both add to the existing knowledge base and address high priority and policy-relevant health care and health systems problems. Please see the Sponsor website for detailed information.

INDIRECT COSTS ARE NOT LEVIED ON THIS PROGRAM

NOTE: Letters of Intent and Full Applications are to be processed through Research Development Services for institutional signatures, and are to be accompanied by a completed RDAF form (bearing applicant, Chair and Dean signatures).
