Description:

To contribute to the creation, dissemination and use of health-related knowledge, and to help develop and maintain Canadian health research capacity, by supporting original, high quality projects proposed and conducted by individual researchers or groups

The CIHR Institute of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes (INMD) supports research to enhance health in relation to diet, digestion, excretion, and metabolism; and to address causes, prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, support systems, and palliation for a wide range of conditions and problems associated with hormone, digestive system, kidney, and liver function. In February 2010, INMD's Strategic Plan 2010-2014 was approved, and one of the four strategic research priorities identified in the plan is Food and Health. The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support programmatic operating grants in Food and Health research that are innovative and span beyond what a typical operating grant could accomplish. This may include projects which span research themes (e.g., basic biomedical science and human/clinical research, or clinical and population health research), or involve a diverse group of collaborators and build on existing research platforms. Programmatic research involves connected sequences of conceptually related research projects, executed by the same group of investigators and could include their decision-making partners.
