Description:

Supports collaborative research involving any field of natural sciences/engineering and health sciences. Successful projects will be novel and lead to health benefits for Canadians, effective health services, or health-related economic development. This program is jointly funded by NSERC and the CIHR. Applicants must be eligible under both NSERC and CIHR.

In the context of improved health for Canadians, the objectives of the Collaborative Health Research Projects (CHRP) program are to: - translate research results to end users and stakeholders; - encourage the NSERC and CIHR communities to collaborate and integrate their expertise in their novel research activities; - advance interdisciplinary research leading to knowledge and technologies useful for improving the health of Canadians; and - train highly qualified people in collaborative and interdisciplinary research of relevance to health.

Application Details:

The participation of two or more independent researchers with complementary expertise is required. Team composition must include expertise in the natural sciences or engineering and expertise in the health sciences. New and genuine collaborations between researchers in the natural sciences and engineering and medical researchers, clinicians, social scientists, and humanists are strongly encouraged.

Please view both the CIHR and NSERC websites for more detailed application information. The CHRP program will be using Form 182, now available through NSERC?s On-line System, for the submission of all NOIs. Below are some changes that will be implemented for the 2011 NOI submission process: Co-applicants will not be required to provide electronic consent to their participation on the NOI application. However, co-applicants and collaborators need to be informed of the precise uses and disclosures of their personal information. Only Successful LOI submissions will be invited to submit a full proposal.

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).
