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 purpose of this "Emerging Teams for Alliances in Mobility in Aging" funding opportunity is to support the establishment of Teams in Mobility in Aging that (i) cross disciplines, professions and sectors, so as to accelerate research to action, and (ii) provide research career development and research capacity building opportunities. The Team support is expected to build and strengthen research excellence and alliances across communities to meet a planned set of objectives and, where appropriate, to set out on future, larger endeavours. This funding opportunity is the third and last Emerging Team call under the Strategic Initiative - Mobility in Aging led by the CIHR Institute of Aging. Eligible teams will consist of at least three independent investigators who will form an integrated and effective research team, the members of which have not worked together on the same problem or issue for more than five years (i.e. any existing team must demonstrate incrementality and/or redirection of their research endeavours). |

Application Details: |
Through the Emerging Team Grant program CIHR intends to fund a variety of emerging research teams (uni-disciplinary teams, multi-disciplinary teams, trans-disciplinary teams, partnered teams, academic-industry teams, etc.). Proposals that represent active and meaningful partnerships between community organizations and research teams based in institutions (including universities, colleges, hospitals, and affiliated research institutions) are welcome.
The application must include investigators in three or more of the areas of research mentioned on this program. Applicants should review the Use of Grant Funds section of the Tri-Agency (CIHR, NSERC and SSHRC) Teams are strongly encouraged to include collaborations among researchers and users from relevant communities, including those who may not typically associate with health research (e.g. architects, engineers, transportation planners and analysts, construction industry, consumer groups), but are essential to advancing efforts under the Mobility in Aging Initiative.
Eligibility criteria for all CIHR research funding programs apply.To qualify for up to $25,000 in development grant funding beyond the regular $10,000 level, the proposal must clearly demonstrate that there is a significant involvement of Canadian researchers in a truly international endeavour. The proposal must meet the Institute's objectives for international partnership development. Once the review of LOI's is completed, selected applicants will be invited to submit an application by the deadline date. The names of teams that will be invited to apply and the topic of their research will be published on the CIHR website. Please Note: Effective this competition, the required signatures at the LOI stage of this Funding Opportunity MUST include all Team members (Nominated Principal Applicant and all co-applicants) AND their institutions.INDIRECT COSTS ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY THIS PROGRAM. |

NOTE: Letters of Intent and Full Applications are to be processed through Research Development Services for institutional signatures, and are to be accompanied by a completed RDAF form (bearing applicant, Chair and Dean signatures). Requests for Institutional signatures should be received no less than 3 days prior to the posted Sponsor deadline. |
