Description:

New Investigator Research Grants provide important early career development support to child health researchers. It is intended this program will enhance the grant recipient's ability to compete with more senior investigators for research grants from other funders. Through this grants program we are seeking to fund research carried out by new investigators across Canada who successfully lead, participate in, and translate outstanding child health research that will respond to children's health challenges and needs. The New Investigator Grants Program is a jointly sponsored program of SickKids Foundation and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research - Institute of Human Development, Child and Youth Health (IHDCYH). Grant recipients may obtain up to three years' support for research in biomedical, clinical, health systems and services, and population and public health sectors.

The applicant must be a new investigator at the date of application; i.e., at the time of application deadline.

Application Details:

The principal investigator must be eligible to apply for independent research grants and be formally affiliated with an eligible sponsoring institution within Canada. The principal investigator will usually hold a doctoral degree (Ph.D) or equivalent medical/health care degree and have had formal research training. Co-principal investigators are researchers who may or may not have a formal affiliation (faculty appointment) with the sponsoring institution, but will take responsibility for particular administrative and scientific aspects of the research project. Trainees (i.e. doctoral students or fellows) cannot be principal or co-principal investigators.

Please note that to be eligible for consideration of funding, grant applicants must have a clearly-identified mentor (or mentors) for their project. An attached supporting letter from the mentor/s outlining the mentorship plan is an absolute requirement. Please email the complete application package in one document (pdf is fine) to national.grants@sickkidsfoundation.com Please mail (or courier) one original signed hard copy of the completed application. Applications must be received by 5:00 pm EST on Monday, December 17, 2012.
