Description: |
It is the intent of CIHR to fund the creation or development of research teams of investigators undertaking collaborative research relevant to a significant health problem or issue. This grant will enable such teams to:
- Strengthen capacity and add expertise relevant to a significant health problem or issue.
- Develop strategies for knowledge translation and exchange.
- Provide a superior training and mentoring environment.
- Achieve research excellence so that at the end of the limited funding period they are competitive for funding through other major competitions. The overarching objective of this funding opportunity is to enhance the translation of fundamental biological research to medicine in the area of rare diseases by supporting new or emerging collaborative research teams focused on rare diseases that would not otherwise occur, or be undertaken readily. Two types of interdisciplinary research teams will be considered for funding:
Teams focused on the basic biology, and/or undertaking clinical research, and/or conducting research on the populations affected by the rare disease. 2. Teams focused on health services, policy, economics and/or ethical, legal or social issues related to rare diseases. |
