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 purpose of this funding opportunity is to encourage applications from nominated principal applicants who are new investigators1 entering the field of ethics of health and health research, or investigators new to the field of ethics of health and health research2, by offering one or two-year pilot project grants. Investigators new to the field with limited publication in ethics will be reviewed as if they were new investigators.
It is expected that this targeted investment will enable researchers to launch research in ethics, with a view to successful future applications to other CIHR competitions in ethics. |
