Objective
The overall goal of Research Team Grants is to support clinical, behavioural, socio-structural and/or environmental interventions related to inflammation in chronic conditions in humans to ultimately support the optimization of healthcare delivery. Specifically, it is anticipated that they will investigate the repurposing or development of interventions for prevention, diagnosis, prediction of treatment response, and management of inflammation in chronic conditions, and/or the optimization of such interventions across the lifecycle and for different life stages and considering intersecting factors, such as sex, gender, age and other identity dimensions as well as co-morbidities. It is expected that this targeted research investment will lead to greater availability of solutions for inflammation in chronic diseases and catalyze changes in clinical practice and policy.
Research Team Grants will support projects relevant to the following research areas:
General Pool: The General Pool will support projects that focus on at least one of the three following themes:
- Theme 1: Intervention trials in humans to repurpose or optimize existing solutions for inflammatory conditions with clinical impacts to human health
- Theme 2: Intervention trials in humans to demonstrate the safety, efficacy, and/or effectiveness of new solutions with demonstrated pre-clinical and/or clinical impacts with potential to benefit more than one chronic condition through shared biological, behavioural or socio-structural pathways of inflammation in relation to human health including for population subgroups and for those in life stages that have been underrepresented in research:
- Theme 3: Implementation and scale-up of any type of evidence-based interventions in humans that leads to clinical impacts on human health addressing inflammation in multiple chronic conditions from one setting to one or multiple other settings
CIHR HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmitted and Blood-Borne Infections (STBBI) Research Initiative Pool: In addition to meeting the requirements of one of the three themes of the General Pool described above, applications requesting funds from the HIV/AIDS and STBBI Research Initiative must be relevant to HIV infection and/or other STBBIs that comprise elements of chronic inflammation (including but not limited to hepatitis C [HCV]) (see Sponsor Description for more details).
Knowledge Mobilization Hub (KM Hub): To help facilitate knowledge mobilization for all successful Research Teams, this competition will provide additional funds to a successful team to establish and lead a dedicated Knowledge Mobilization Hub (KM Hub). The KM Hub will be responsible for supporting the knowledge mobilization activities of all the Research Teams by establishing an overarching structure to support the coordination and collaboration of the Teams to leverage interdisciplinary activities, optimize the research impact through clearly defined knowledge mobilization and engagement efforts, and achieve the overall funding opportunity objectives.
