Application Details: |
Community-based research (CBR) is a collaborative approach to research that equitably involves all partners in the research process and recognizes the unique strengths that each brings. CBR begins with a research topic of importance to the community with the aim of combining knowledge and action for social change to improve community health and eliminate health disparities. CBR brings researchers together with members of the community to: identify the issues; collect, analyze and interpret the data; and decide how to use the results to inform policy, change practice and improve conditions in the community.
Through the HIV/AIDS CBR Program, CIHR supports research that engages communities in all stages of research, from the definition of the research question, to capacity building and integration of community members in conducting research, to active participation in disseminating research results. In addition to these principles, CBR espouses the same values of methodological rigor and ethical review as other research approaches. The application process for this funding opportunity is comprised of one step: Application. Your Application will be submitted using ResearchNet. Scan and upload the signed signature pages including the routing slip in the Print/Upload Signature Pages task in ResearchNet prior to submitting your application.INDIRECT COSTS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET |
