Description: |
The CIHR Catalyst Grant program provides seed money, on a short-term basis, to support health research activities which represent a first step towards the pursuit of more comprehensive funding opportunities. The specific objective of this funding opportunity is to encourage Canadian investigators to develop novel screening tools and techniques, or novel applications of existing tools or techniques for the early detection, diagnosis, evaluation, patient management and stratification following mild traumatic brain injury.
CIHR and its partners will provide funding for applications that are determined to be relevant to the area of mild traumatic brain injury and focusing on one or more of the following:
Discovery, development or validation of brain-specific biomarkers and related neurometabolic or bio-signature compounds (e.g., autoantibodies, serological or cerebrospinal fluid markers, protein fragments, etc.);
Discovery, development and validation of novel imaging tools and techniques related to the identification of underlying neurobiological/neuroinflammatory processes and/or neuroanatomical substrates;
Discovery, development or evaluation of rapid and effective early treatment, management and patient stratification strategies. |
