Description:

To contribute to the creation, dissemination and use of health-related knowledge, and to help develop and maintain Canadian health research capacity, by supporting original, high quality projects proposed and conducted by individual researchers or groups

The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support the prompt initiation of intervention research on rapidly unfolding programs, policies and resource distribution approaches that have the potential to impact health and health equity at the population level. This funding opportunity strongly encourages close collaboration between program implementers (e.g. decision-makers and researchers). Only research projects that are out of the control of the researcher will be considered, meaning that the researcher is not responsible for designing or implementing the intervention. The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are: - support research on rapidly unfolding "natural experiments" of programs, policies & resource distribution approaches that have the potential to promote health & equity at a population level - encourage collaboration of community, non-profit, private, and/or public partners, where appropriate. - develop knowledge exchange opportunities between researchers and community, non-profit, private, and/or public partners.
