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

Many of the health issues facing First Nations, Inuit and M?tis (Aboriginal) communities are multi-factorial and are therefore best addressed through multi-pillar; multi-disciplinary collaborations that both identify the relevant health priorities of Aboriginal peoples and produce scientifically excellent research. The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support intervention research that would further strengthen policies and programs that positively impact on the health of First Nations, Inuit and M?tis (Aboriginal) peoples in Canada. This funding opportunity encourages close collaboration between program or policy implementers (e.g. decision-makers) and researchers, but is not intended to fund the health interventions. It is expected that this targeted investment in intervention research will lead to the enhancement and expansion of the evidentiary base concerning effective health interventions for the health of Aboriginal peoples.
