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 HIV/AIDS CBR Program assists community-based organizations, non-governmental organizations and institutions in developing the knowledge necessary to carry out their HIV/AIDS work in the most effective manner, and in creating the expertise within these communities to conduct their own research.
The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:
* To support the development of partnerships between the community and researchers to facilitate the conduct of community-based research; and/or
* To support the development of future applications for more comprehensive community-based research grants. |
